Green Mountain National Wildlife Blend

Coffee from Mexico, like the National Wildlife Blend K-Cups, boasts unique spice notes, delicate flavors, and dense bodies. Fruity chocolate and ripe berries are key notes. Of all the Mexican coffees Oaxacan coffee gets the most praise: everyone loves this bean whether is light-roasted or espresso-roasted. The fruity flavors along with tones of almond and brandy appear when these beans are lightly roasted. At a darker roast, chocolate and even caramel begin to fill your palate.

Imagine: a bright red coffee berry is picked just as the fog lifts. In the distance spider monkeys howl as tropical birds sing. Coloful orchid and butterflies, as well as the footprints of jaguars are common sightings on this reserve. Taken from a farms in the southernmost regions in Mexico—La Trinidad in Oaxaca which was formed by indigenous Zapotec coffee farmers and El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve in Chiapas which is maintained by local families—National Wildlife Blend is a popular Mexican coffee. These coffee farms are strategically placed in cloud forests, where there is loads of life. For this reason, only sustainable farming techniques are used to create this coffee. Environmentally conscious methods that are completely pesticide-free are key to producing this biosphere-friendly coffee.

To preserve the vividly diverse region, farmers create high quality coffee that puts money back into their community as well as the environment around them. These Fair Trade farmers get market prices for their coffee, allowing them to create more schools for their children, get environmentally-friendly farming equipment, and office basics like computers, copy machines and furniture. Sumatran Reserve Blend develops the social area while maintaing the natural landscape.

Bright and fruity, Green Mountain Coffee National Wildlife Blend is a light roasted coffee that boasts a natural unadulterated mouthfeel. The body is light, but the unique spiced notes and fruity flavors make this coffee intriguing. National Wildlife Blend is a great coffee for light-roast lovers, but the brown sugar and chocolate notes that linger in the finish keep this coffee interesting for anyone!
