OK... Own up... Who sells flavored beans?

I check this board from time to time, and each time I find a thread on flavored coffee, I get thoroughly frustrated.
JUST ONCE I would like to see a question from someone on what bean to use for flavored coffee actually get answered instead of everyone immediately hopping on their soap box and saying you shouldn''t have flavored coffees, you should educate your customers to appreciate the plain flavor of the coffee, blah, blah, blah.

Flavored beans

Of course I sell flavored beans! My customers want them so I sell them. Also on Saturday mornings the flavored pump pot runs out first. Although we''re known for our house blend, flavored beans do real well.Thank you.

Okay, I'll bite. I would like to know what a coffee roaster would use as a base bean for applying flavors to coffee. In fact, I will post it as a new topic.

Here's to you, NCSicilian. Let's see if the soapbox still exists....

OMG... I missed this post. Well, I did ask for their opinions, so its OK that they shared their thoughts on educating customers. But, I have seen other threads where the OP was just looking for a quick answer and it turned into quite a debate. I know I'm guilty of that myself. LOL
