Mainstream reviews don't focus on Fair Trade-certified coffee, which requires living wages for the workers and sustainable agricultural practices, and most Fair Trade coffees are sold by smaller roasters that may be hard to find for some consumers. Green Mountain Roasters has wider availability than most, and its Organic Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee wins taste tastes for its depth and balance. CoffeeReview.com reviewer Kenneth Davids calls it "perfumy and pungently menthol-toned in the aroma, shimmering with floral and lemon notes." TheNibble.com calls Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Organic Ethiopian Yirgacheffe "one of our favorites" and notes that it's between a medium roast and a French roast, meaning it isn't too harsh and will appeal to a wider range of tastes. If you aren't interested in Fair Trade-certified or organic coffees, reviewers say Eight O'Clock Coffee 100% Colombian (*Est. $6 for 12 oz.) is a better value.
We found the best review for Green Mountain Yirgacheffe organic coffee at CoffeeReview.com, which reviews lots of coffees, assigns specific and overall scores that allow for comparison, produces relatively detailed comments and is unafraid to bash a coffee with some rough adjectives. TheNibble.com doesn't rate coffees as well, but offers some helpful information.
