Green Mountain Coffee

Kenyan Highland Cooperatives

Review Date: Aug 2009

Delicately complex aroma of flowers, tangerine and honey. In the cup, smooth mouthfeel, balanced, richly floral-toned acidity, and elegant notes of orange, lemon and yes, more flowers. Finishes cleanly with the flavor nuances lingering softly.

Green Mountain Coffee

Nicaragua Selva Negra Special Reserve

Review Date: Aug 2009

Balanced aroma with soft notes of pipe tobacco, vanilla, sweet aromatic wood and suggestions of fruit. The fruit becomes more pronounced in the bright-toned acidity. A graceful cup, with a lightly syrupy mouthfeel and flavors of orange, grapefruit, fir, and a touch of chocolate that sweetens in the finish.

Guatemalan Finca Dos Marias

Review Date: Aug 2009

Intense, sweet-toned aroma: cherryish fruit, hints of orange and flowers. In the cup rich, rounded acidity, fullish body, and continued cherry- and orange-toned fruit complicated by a dry, cocoaish chocolate. Simple, sweet finish.

Green Mountain Coffee

Mexican Decaf Huatusco Cooperative

Review Date: Aug 2009

Gently sweet aroma with hints of wood and molasses. Delicate but well-balanced in the cup, with medium body, soft mouthfeel, and flavor notes of aromatic wood, fruit-toned chocolate, and a citrusy quality reminiscent of sweet lemony tea. Some sweetness persists in the finish, though it fades rather quickly.

Green Mountain Coffee

Breakfast Blend Fair-Trade Organic

Review Date: Aug 2009

A richly balanced cup with a pungent aroma of cocoa, baking spices and orange. The orange character carries from aroma into flavor, where it is complicated by hints of flowers and flowering grasses. Mild sweetness and a touch of chocolate in the finish.

Green Mountain Coffee

House Blend Fair-Trade Organic

Review Date: Aug 2009

Rich, sweet-toned, toasty aroma with soft hints of nut and cinnamon. Medium to full body with a delicately soft mouthfeel. Quite complex in the cup: toast, cedar, chocolate, raisin and flowers. The roasty dark chocolate persists into a rich, simple finish.

Green Mountain Coffee

Autumn Harvest Blend

Review Date: Aug 2009

Sweet-toned aroma with a hint of lightly charred cedar and an intense cherry-chocolate note. Medium to full body in the cup, with a slightly lean mouthfeel and soft, roasty flavors with hints of rosemary, toast and earth. Roastiness lingers in the long, dry, mildly astringent, bitter-sweet finish.

Straightforward aroma with hints of wood and citrus. In the cup bright-toned, medium in body, with a sweet orangy character. A mild, rather papery astringency dominates in the finish.

Sumatran Reserve Fair Trade Organic

Review Date: Aug 2009

Mild, sweet-toned aroma with charred aromatic wood and fruit notes. In the cup medium to full body with a leanish mouthfeel. Continued sweet charred wood, earth, and muted tropical fruit that intensifies as the cup cools. Sweet roastiness lingers in the long, dry finish.

Green Mountain Coffee

Sumatran Lake Tawar

Review Date: Aug 2009

In the aroma an intense wood smoke character with hints of cedar and a vague fruitiness. Soft and simple in the cup with sweet notes of charred wood, leather and a hint of earth. The finish is round and dry; a slight astringency diminishes and allows sweetness to prevail in the long.

Green Mountain Coffee

French Roast Fair-Trade Organic

Review Date: Aug 2009

A very dark roast yields a deep, smoky, charred-wood aroma, complicated by remote hints of caramel and roasted nut. Medium-body, smooth mouthfeel, with gentle charred wood notes dominating the flavor and carrying into the finish.
