Green Mountain Coffee Review
Dec 19th, 2009 by Melinda
I had a great post for today, but right now I am super busy wrapping Christmas Gifts, doing laundry, baking, etc. so I thought I’d leave you with this review instead-which I think is extremely fitting for this cold weather. I should be back with a great post tomorrow! Hope you enjoy! 
Kristen from Green Mountain Coffee sent me some coffees to Review!
I don’t know about you- but I LOVE the smell of fresh coffee beans mmmm…
Makes me want a cup right now 
I loved the Tully’s organic coffees-and I love a company that supports the environment and gives back to the community :)
From the Green Mountain Website
We believe in using the power of business to make the world a better place. Each step on the long road from tree to cup gives us an opportunity to create better coffee, and a better world. From carefully sourcing and roasting the highest quality beans, to empowering employees and protecting the environment, we focus on what’s important. Our goal is to create truly inspired coffee that’s environmentally sound, socially just, and undeniably delicious.
Protecting the Environment
We depend on the land to make our living. This is true in places where coffee is grown, like Indonesia, Guatemala, and Rwanda, but it’s just as true at our headquarters in Vermont, or in any of the thousands of locations where Green Mountain Coffee is sold. Waste reduction and responsible energy use have been two of our top priorities from the beginning.
Building Demand for Sustainable Products
We raise awareness of sustainable coffee, and create “consumer activists” who will demand it. Coffee lovers who ask for Fair Trade Certified™ and organic coffee may not realize it, but they are helping the world maintain a long-term supply of high-quality beans. In 2000, we were among the first U.S. roasters to sell Fair Trade Certified™ coffee. We now offer one of the largest selections of double-certified, Fair Trade organic coffees.
Partnering with Supply-Chain Communities
Strong relationships with our farmers help improve the quality of coffee and the quality of life, in communities around the world. Our coffee buyers travel extensively to find the finest Arabica beans and train farmers in cupping and sensory evaluation. Working together, we develop a common language to talk about quality, and farmers get a better understanding of how their work influences the coffee in your cup.
Supporting Local Communities
We have been donating time, coffee, and money to nonprofits in our neighborhood communities since 1981. Each year, we donate to more than 1,200 nonprofit organizations. Employees volunteer to work on company time and get 6.5 paid workdays to contribute to their community.
Basically, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters has anything and everything coffee- related that you could ever need! They also sell Newmans Own organics, Caribou Coffee, Celestial Seasonings, etc. So head on over, coffees make great Christmas gifts!

As a complete coffee junkie, I particularly appreciated this review. I love the company’s philosophy and ethical practices!
