Blind Assessment
Rich, grapy fruit lifts off pleasantly from a smoke-toned, rather sharply bitter base. Wonderful aspiration in this blend, but to my palate the bitterness contradicts rather than complements the luxury of the fruit.
Notes
Rich, grapy fruit lifts off pleasantly from a smoke-toned, rather sharply bitter base. A blend comprised entirely of certified organically grown and Fair-Trade Certified coffees. Green Mountain, founded in 1981, is one of America 's pioneer specialty coffee roasters and a leader in cause coffees.
Who Should Drink It
Those who enjoy paradox; in this case, smoky fruit.
