Green Mountain has three, new Holiday K-Cup Coffees out for the season.  All three are Fair Trade coffees which makes them even more special for the season of giving.

The first one is Green Mountain's Pumpkin Spice K-Cup Coffee.  I am actually sipping a cup of Pumpkin Spice as I write this review.  Its aroma perfectly captures the pumpkin spice just like a baking pumpkin pie.  Its taste though isn't quite as delicious as its pleasing smell.  Possibly the coffee roast (a light roast) is too overpowering for the pumpkin spice.  Maybe, I am just too critical because of the fantastic Pumpkin Spice lattes I have been getting lately from Starbucks!  Green Mountain describes this flavored k-cup coffee as, "enhanced by creamy, pumpkin spice flavors."  Well, I don't get the creamy (like I do when drinking a Gloria Jean's Pumpkin Spice) but the pumpkin spice is evident - just not as clearly present as it is in the aroma.

The next Holiday K-Cup offering is Green Mountain's Eggnog K-Cup Coffee.  I was surprised by this one since I don't particularly enjoy eggnog.  The K-Cup was splendidly delicious.  It's one of those K-Cups though that I would rather drink now and then versus every morning.  Green Mountain describes the Eggnog K-Cup Coffee as, "rich, smooth and creamy, with just the right touch of cinnamon and nutmeg."  Again, the creamy is a stretch for my taste buds but they were right on with the cinnamon and nutmeg.  It's a perfect treat.

 
The final Holiday K-Cup Coffee from Green Mountain is the Holiday Blend.  I haven't tried it yet however if it is anything like Green Mountain's Autumn Harvest Blend then it will be a seasonal hit!  According to Green Mountain, the Holiday Blend K-Cup Coffee has, "rich aromatic blend of light and dark roasted coffees (the highlands of Central and South America) with an intricate, yet balanced taste and lingering finish."  The Autumn Harvest Blend had a medium roast from Latin American coffees with a touch of hearty, dark French Roast so I am interested to try the new Holiday Blend.

The challenge with these seasonal coffees is if you fall in love with one they end up being discontinued.  I had enough "heart breaks" in high school!

Until next time - enjoy that perfect cup over the Holiday.
