just not sure about this flavor

After my adventures with the coffee advent calendar last year, I decided to try the same company's 'spring and summer' options. (They offer a set of 'single-pot' bags with the various flavors. Since I'm making one cup at a time, and mixing the flavored coffee with regular coffee, they last a WHILE.)
So far I've tried:
*Blackberry Crumble: unexpectedly delicious, wow! I was wary of all the fruit flavors, but this one was great.
*S'Mores: YUM
*Blueberry Cobbler: ...I'm not sure
See, the thing is, MANY years ago, I took a bunch of powdered blueberry-flavored Crystal Light on a trip I didn't really want to go on, and the blueberry smell of the ground coffee is EXACTLY the same. (Okay, I have no idea if it's exactly the same. It reminds me of how that smelled. So the mental association is there.)
BUT once the coffee is brewed, the blueberry smell is much less, and the taste isn't bad. As long as the ratio is Very Little Blueberry Coffee : Much More Regular Coffee, I'm enjoying it quite a bit. I'm not sure I'm enjoying it enough to KEEP enjoying it through the entire packet, let alone the SECOND one, though. (Why two blueberry, and not two delicious, delicious blackberry???)
