This coffee boasts a distinct brightness in the forefront, yet it is well rounded throughout. The bitter chocolate flavor is calmed by sweet caramel undertones and finishes with a lingering astringency. This coffee is friendly enough to drink black but just as friendly with a touch of milk and sweetener.
Currently, all of Green Mountain Coffee brand coffees are certified kosher by the Orthodox Union. We have enjoyed this long lasting relationship for over twenty five years, and counting.
As we welcome Tully’s into our Green Mountain Coffee Roasters family, we are carefully integrating our kosher certifications to the highest standards. Presently, there are five Tully’s k cups that are manufactured under the OU symbol here in our facilities on the east coast; House Blend, House Blend Decaf, French Roast, Italian Roast, and Kona Blend. These coffees also bear the VA’AD symbol when manufactured at Tully’s locations on the west coast. All other Tully’s coffees are currently certified by the Va’ad HaRabanim of Greater Seattle.

“Mildly sweet aroma with a suggestion of cinnamon toast and a distant hint of citrus. Medium body, with some astringency in the mouthfeel and a rather muted, if bright, acidity. Notes of nut and toasted grain. Roastiness lingers in the finish, along with aromatic wood and a slight but stubborn astringency in the long.”
