Product Details Return to Top Tasting Notes A Fair Trade Certified™, organic coffee blend. This dark-roast blend offers a resonant, pungent aroma with great range and complexity: smoke, toast, chocolate, a hint of flowers and vanilla. In the cup you'll find a full body, highlighted hints of chocolate and dried fruit. Rating: 86 Points (out of 100)Considerably more impressive in a 6-ounce serving size than in an 8. At 6 ounces the aromatics in nose and cup are pleasingly buttery and round with a crisp roasty edge and hints of caramel and chocolate. At 8 ounces the mouthfeel is a tad lean and the aromatics thinnish. – Kenneth Davids, CoffeeReview.com, April 2007 About Green Mountain Coffee® A great tasting cup of coffee can give you a whole new perspective. It's a moment to pause, reflect, and reprioritize. That moment is what inspires us to make coffee that benefits everyone it touches.

That's why we at Green Mountain Coffee® believe a good cup of coffee can change your day... but a great cup of coffee can help change the world.
