Product Details Return to Top Tasting Notes Coffees from farms surrounding El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve in Mexico provide the cup with plentiful body, as well as a unique, spicy chocolate note, and flavors of ripe, dark fruit. National Wildlife Blend is comprised of Fair Trade and organic coffees from Central and South American family-owned farms that raise shade-grown coffees while providing vital habitat for migratory songbirds. Notes From Origin Deep within the Sierra Madre mountains of Southern Chiapas is one of the world’s most pristine and diverse natural places — 300,000 fog-shrouded acres known as El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve. This extraordinary cloud forest is home to the resplendent quetzal, spider monkey, jaguar, and tapir. Hundreds of butterfly species flit among giant tree ferns, bromeliads, and orchids. It is one of the few remaining unspoiled places in Mexico, and all of Latin America. In the buffer zone surrounding the reserve, family farmers grow coffee under the shade of a forest canopy, which provides habitat to countless species of migratory songbirds — nearly 400 species of birds have been recorded in El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve — mammals and insects. In this way, the buffer zone both protects the core zones of the biosphere, and promotes sustainable commerce for the surrounding communities of farmers.

Sadest day of my life By Robyn the artistfrom Los Angeles, CaliforniaAbout Me Coffee Connoisseur, Health Conscious, Socially/Environmentally ConsciousProsAttractive Mouthfeel/BodyBalanced AcidityExceptional/Interesting FlavorNot BitterPleasing AromaPleasing RoastSmooth TasteConsBest UsesSingle-Cup/PodsComments about Green Mountain Coffee K-Cup National Wildlife Blend:This is the VERY BEST COFFEE I have EVER tasted!!! I am crushed to find that I'm not able to order any more. I liked this coffee so much I would not share it with ANYONE! I had a stash of "guest" k-cups I would serve to guests and I had these hidden away from sight. I feared this would be discontinued because PBS blend was discontinued and that put me into a depression. But I found this was from the same region "El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve in Mexico" and was just as good.Green Mountain, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE produce another coffee from this region. It is delectable.I called and spoke with a representative and was told a similar tasting blend is, "Fair Trade Our Blend" but I have yet to try it. If anyone has any suggestions please post.Thanks!Comment on this review12/6/2010 5.0Why RETIRED???????

By Aspenlightfrom St. Louis, Mo. and Aspen, Co.About Me Average Joe, Coffee Connoisseur, Entertain FormalInformal, Health Conscious, Socially/Environmentally ConsciousProsAttractive Mouthfeel/BodyExceptional/Interesting FlavorHarmony of SUBTLE FlavorsInconspicuosly FlavorfulNot BitterNOT typical FLAVORED BrewPleasing AromaPleasing RoastSmooth TasteConsBest UsesGiftsSingle-Cup/PodsComments about Green Mountain Coffee K-Cup National Wildlife Blend:This is by far THE BEST Coffee offerred in a K-Cup. I have sampled MANY Variety Packs, all the Organics, and more. This flavor is just perfection! None I've tried are comparable to National Wildlife Organic Blend! I did not even realize this was a "flavored" coffee....the chocolate and caramel are individually undetectable but somehow hidden in this recipe, to create the smoothest rich but pleasing flavor, slightly mellow enough to prevent any hint of bitterness or aftertaste. It is the best Organic coffee you will ever taste Bag or K-Cup! I'm reminded why I love this coffee, every time I treat myself to another cup of its java bliss! ...One of life's little luxuries. When I entertain, NWL Blend is a compliment to any Gourmet Cuisine or Exquisite Desserts. It's also a crowd pleaser that guests are dependably delighted and impressed by! This is NOT a heavy flavored coffee like a Hazelnut, French Vanilla or Cinnanut, etc. It is an AWESOME extraordinary, SUBTLE flavored, BETTER THAN Regular blend. It is not a super strong Dark Roast.Whatever your pleasure, straight up or dressed up, this coffee tastes WONDERFUL and is always in good taste!....AND it's Organic, i.e. pesticide, larvicide, fungicide herbicide FREE. This would be my very FAVORITE K-Cup even if it didn't benefit Wildlife, however, as a Wildlife Animal Lover, it is a NICE BONUS!Comment on this review11/18/2010(1 of 1 customers found this review helpful) 5.0My Absolute Favorite By Shannan the momfrom Wichita Falls, TXAbout Me Average JoeProsAttractive Mouthfeel/BodyBalanced AcidityExceptional/Interesting FlavorNot BitterPleasing AromaPleasing RoastSmooth TasteConsBest UsesSingle-Cup/PodsComments about Green Mountain Coffee K-Cup National Wildlife Blend:My friend who introduced me to Keurig and Green Mountain offered me this at her home one evening and I fell in love! I have 2 boxes shipped every time with my club order. I'm usually not a big fan of chocolate in my coffee but the hints are so subtle that it's just right. With or without cream and sugar. This is always my first cup in the morning. I usually follow it with a french vanilla, mocha nut fudge, or Carmel vanilla cream but there are those mornings when I need more National Wildlife!!Comment on this review7/14/2010(1 of 1 customers found this review helpful) 5.0Yummy! What a treat By Terifrom Northridge, CaAbout Me Average Joe, Health Conscious, Socially/Environmentally ConsciousProsAttractive Mouthfeel/BodyBalanced AcidityExceptional/Interesting FlavorNot BitterPleasing AromaPleasing RoastSmooth TasteConsBest UsesComments about Green Mountain Coffee K-Cup National Wildlife Blend:I can only drink 1 cup of coffee a day and this is now my favorite. I usually like a darker roast, but I totally fell in love with this coffee. It is so smooth and just right. I still like a darker, stronger roast, but this is now my everyday morning cup. I switch between this and the Nantucket Melange. Plus I like the fact that it is Fair Trade and organic which makes it even better.Gift:NoComment on this review11/2/2009(1 of 2 customers found this review helpful) 5.0Lovely creamy heaven By paulafrom willimantic, ctAbout Me Average JoeProsAttractive Mouthfeel/BodyBalanced AcidityExceptional/Interesting FlavorNot BitterPleasing AromaPleasing RoastSmooth TasteConsBest UsesAutomatic Drip/FilterSingle-Cup/PodsComments about Green Mountain Coffee K-Cup National Wildlife Blend:I LOVE this coffee!!Gift:NoComment on this review10/22/2009(1 of 1 customers found this review helpful) 5.0My new fave!
