Blind Assessment
Fine balance and structure, with a layering of temperate fruit notes – apple, peach, cherry, apricot – anchored by hints of fresh-cut fir and smoky, savory spice. Delicate acidity; roundly syrupy mouthfeel. Simple but rich, sweet finish.
Notes
This coffee is certified organically grown and Fair Trade, meaning it was purchased from small-holding farmers at a "fair" or economically sustainable price. La Unión Huatusco Coop was formed in 1992 by a group of small-scale family farmers from the state of Veracruz. Keurig/Green Mountain, formerly Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, pioneered single-serve capsule brewing in the United States with its Keurig brewing system, and remains one of the country’s leading large specialty roasters, offering a particularly wide-ranging variety of origins and roast styles.

Who Should Drink It
Balanced Latin-American-style breakfast cup, sweetly crisp and fruit-toned with a hint of savory depth and solid social and environmental credentials.
