Green Mountain Coffee

Organic Fair-Trade National Wildlife Decaf

Roaster Location: Waterbury, Vermont
Coffee Origin: Not disclosed
Roast Level: Medium
Agtron: 39/67
Review Date: September 2004
Aroma: 7
Acidity: 8
Body: 8
Flavor: 8

Blind Assessment

Balanced and classic. The acidity is sweet and well integrated, the mouthfeel round and cleanly smooth, the flavor rich and straightforward with coffee fruit (the closest analogy is red cherry) that hints gently at milk chocolate. Long, resonant finish.

Notes

This impeccably socially-environmentally-health-conscious coffee is a blend of certified organic and Fair-Trade coffees that have been decaffeinated by the "Swiss Water" method, which uses hot water and charcoal filters rather than steam and solvent to remove caffeine. Green Mountain Coffee Roasters is one of the country's leading specialty roasters, offering a particularly wide-ranging variety of origins and roast styles. Visit www.greenmountaincoffee.com or call 800-223-6768 for more information.

Who Should Drink It

Anyone looking for a classically balanced, medium-roasted decaffeinated cup. The Fair-Trade and organic agendas are bonuses.
