Green Mountain Coffee Delivers


    Perhaps by now you have been convinced of the fabulousness of single serve coffee brewers. There are a several different makes and each one brings something different to the cup. One of the benefits of the  Keurig single serve brewer is the impressive selection of different beverages that its parent company, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, has available. Some of the newer offerings include the  Emeril’s Vanilla Bean BAM, an infusion of lush Vanilla in a coffee that is bold enough to start with. There are other flavored coffees that are bold as well as flavored. And if you drink decaf, there are quite a few decaf brews to choose from, including a few that are strong enough to almost make you forget you are drinking decaf. Green Mountain Coffee Roasters recently acquired Timothy’s Coffee, so now, in addition to their own Green Mountain line,  GMCR now includes Tully’s Coffee, Newman’s Own, Caribou Coffee and Timothy’s, which brings us the very strong Emeril’s coffees

GMCR also brings out seasonal blends to match the mood of a specific time of year. For summer, there is Green Mountain Coffee’s Summer Safari Blend ( a spirited blend of South American and East African coffee) and The Perfect Peach in K-Cups. These flavors may be fleeting but  a new season will bring a new blend. There are five seasons of Limited Edition Fair Trade coffees at GMC, Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall, and Holidays, which offer special coffees (usually, one regular and one flavored) created to represent the feeling of that time of year. 
    Holiday: Gingerbread, Spicy Eggnog, Holiday Blend (November through December)
    Winter: Golden French Toast and Wicked Winter Blend (January through the middle of March)
Spring:  Island Coconut, Spring Revival Blend (End of March, through May)       
Summer: The Perfect Peach, Summer Safari Blend (June through August)
    Fall: Pumpkin Spice, Autumn Harvest Blend (September through the beginning of   November)
      
GMCR also released their Limited Edition Fair Trade Spring Revival Blend featuring, for the first time, Rwandan Fair Trade coffee to support the revitalization of Rwanda.  They also recently  announced their intention to convert two of their most popular coffees – The GMC Blend and the Vermont Country Blend® - to Fair Trade by Fair Trade Month in October.
