What do reviewers say about Follow and Awake?

Follow has coffee at its core, but not the polite kind. It's the version that walks in and takes a seat without asking. The warmth keeps the coffee from being a challenge.Follow

Coffee fragrances walk a fine line. Too bitter and they're unwearable; too sweet and they stop smelling like coffee. Awake walks it perfectly. The lemon keeps it honest, the cardamom keeps it warm.Awake
