Green Mountain Coffee Tasting

24 Comments

This evening Hubz and I headed out to the Green Mountain Coffee Visitor Center at the Waterbury Train Station for a tasting of Green Mountain Coffee’s limited edition Spring Revival Blend. We began with a nice reception filled with a variety of yummy looking goodies most of which were unfortunately not vegan.

Aren’t all of these desserts beautiful? I wish that they had been vegan but at least they were nice to look at.  Among the beautiful desserts and other savory dishes we found one we could eat, a mushroom bruschetta- it was amazing!

After the reception it was time to get ready for the tasting which you could view live on UStream. We sipped some water and waited around at the nicely decorated tasting tables.

Wasn’t Hubz looking pretty sharp in his new(ish) shirt?

Hubby and I both really enjoyed this coffee and the Hubz isn’t event a coffee drinker! Here is the UStream Video and you can hear my muffled comments which were kindly repeated by our hosts.

We were sent home with a few goodie bags that included a sample of the Spring Revival Coffee to try at home.  I also received one bag that had K-Cups for the office.  Inside the bags there was this awesome fair trade coffee sticker as well as information about the coffee and World Fair Trade Day (May 8, 2010).

Also included were step by step cards on how to do your own tasting at home as well as information on everyday brewing.

Since Green Mountain Coffee was kind enough to send me home with an extra bag of goodies I thought who better than to give it to but one of my readers?

    We drink Green Mtn Coffee all the time and really enjoy many flavors. We have not tried the Spring
    Revival yet. I will have to look for it at one of the
    gas station stops.
    What a great chance you had to go and do a tasting.
    love you

  10. I have been a fan on facebook for a while now as well! Glad you had a good time at the tasting! I long for the days when me and my hubby will be able to do things alone again without worrying about a little one!

  12. I went to their site and did some reading. I had no idea that so much went into coffee production. I suppose it never occurred to me how it would be an art form to choose and mix the beans in such a way. Being a roast master would be a fantastic job!!

  13. Browsing the Green Mountain Coffee site, I found the coffee maker I’ve been searching for…the Santos Vacuum!! These pots make very smooth coffee and are quite dramatic to watch, a real conversation piece…so much more than just a coffee pot!!
