Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Organic Ethiopian Yirgacheffe

Mainstream coffee reviews don't focus on fair-trade products, which require living wages for the workers and sustainable agriculture. And most fair-trade coffees are on smaller labels that are difficult to find in all parts of the United States. Green Mountain Roasters has better availability than most, and its Fair Trade organic Yirgacheffe coffee wins taste tastes for its depth and balance. CoffeeReview.com reviewer Kenneth Davids calls Green Mountain Yirgacheffe, "perfumy and pungently menthol-toned in the aroma, shimmering with floral and lemon notes." TheNibble.com doesn't score the coffees, but 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 concerned with fair trade or organic, reviews say Eight O'Clock Coffee 100% Colombian (*est. $5 for a 12-ounce bag) is the best value. If you prefer a dark roast, Millstone Colombian Supremo (*est. $7.50 for an 11-ounce bag) is tops in reviews.
