Product Details Return to Top Tasting Notes Our Organic Mexican Select is sourced from farms in Mexico’s classic coffee-growing regions, and it demonstrates convincingly the principle of Terroir, or the influence that the growing region has on the flavor of the bean. It has a lovely, textured body, lush fruit tones, and a spicy cocoa note that’s unique to Mexican coffees. This is a very drinkable cup, and a great introduction to specialty coffees. Rating: 88 Points (out of 100)"Intense aroma with a tightly knit complexity: muted spice, apple, pear, chocolate. In the cup sweet, delicate and balanced, with subtle but distinct chocolate notes and a quietly vibrant acidity." — Ken Davids, CoffeeReview.com, November 2005 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. From carefully sourcing and roasting the highest quality beans, to supporting small farms and protecting the environment, we focus on what's important. 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. Notes From Origin Mexico is one of the larger coffee producing countries in the world, which means that there is a great variety to the beans cultivated in Mexico. One of the the coffees used in this blend comes from Southeastern Mexico, along the Sierra Mountains. Coffee farmers process their beans using their own local wet mills. This process results in a balanced acidity in the coffee, for the process of fermentation and drying are quite immediate to each other. While this organically grown coffee is cultivated in an environmentally friendly manner, its flavor is improved as well. Being shade grown, the coffee plants mature slowly, creating sweeter coffee beans. This particular coffee comes in part from La Trinidad Cooperative located in the Mountains of Oaxaca. Growing organic, Fair Trade coffee has brought many advantages to the members of this cooperative, their families, and the land this coffee is grown on. For example, the cooperative recently opened two Community Stores to provide low-cost goods to very remote coffee-growing communities. The cooperative also gives farmers 10-20 trees annually to plant among their coffee bushes. These trees shade farmers’ crops, and provide habitat to birds and other wildlife.

I picked it because we had loved the coffee on our Mexican vacation and was hoping this would be close. The aroma is wonderful, slightly sweet, and no bitterness. There is no acidity that comes back on you like some coffee does. The taste is well balanced and has a hint of chocolate. I happily drink this daily and am very bummed when I run out!Comment on this review7/7/2012 5.0Awesome coffee By Jessyfrom Laconia, NHAbout Me Average Joe, Foodie, Health Conscious, Socially/Environmentally ConsciousProsBalanced AcidityExceptional/Interesting FlavorNot BitterPleasing AromaPleasing RoastSmooth TasteConsBest UsesFrench PressComments about Green Mountain Coffee 10oz FTO Mexican Select:I love this coffee!
