| Bryan_Carey's Full Review: Green Mountain Coffee Southern Pecan K Cups for Ke... |
Flavored coffees offer great taste in a warm beverage and I often partake in several different flavored coffees to begin my day. One flavor that I have tried and enjoy is Green Mountain Southern Pecan Coffee, a coffee with a fresh, nutty flavor.
Basic Facts About This Coffee:
Green Mountain Southern Pecan Coffee offers the standard brown color with a medium level of richness and it makes a great first impression due to its strong aromatic qualities. As it brews, the great nutty scent fills the air, tempting the senses and making that first cup even more anticipated than before.
This coffee offers a flavor that combines pecans, pralines, and a touch of butter. There is a good deal of roasted coffee flavor to back it up along with a touch of smoke (especially in the aftertaste), and it combines for a taste that is certainly coffee- like in character, but with the addition of pecans and other nuts.
Green Mountain Southern Pecan Coffee is made from 100 percent pure Arabica coffee and its flavor is semi- sweet. There is no need for added sweetener, but its addition makes for a beverage that will taste much like a hot, nut pie pulled straight from the oven.
Nutritional Information:
Green Mountain Southern Pecan Coffee contains some healthy anti- oxidants, but it contains no significant amounts of any vitamin or mineral. It also contains no protein, carbs, fat, or calories.
Final Thoughts:
Green Mountain Southern Pecan Coffee is a tasty little coffee from a company I have only recently begun to appreciate. Due to complaints and comments in the workplace about the quality of the coffee and the lack of options, those in charge responded by purchasing a Keurig Brewing system. This brewing machine makes it easy for individuals to drink exactly what they want because it brews a single cup at a time, using small, individual containers of coffee or tea. These “K Cups”, as they are called, make it convenient for individuals because each person can select among a set of coffee or tea flavors and brew a single cup of their choosing.
Green Mountain Southern Pecan Coffee is one of several flavors that Green Mountain offers in these small K- Cups and it is one of several flavors I reach for in the morning and throughout my day. I love the taste of pecans and pecan pie is my favorite of all types of pies. Thus, I was naturally drawn to this coffee from the very beginning and I was hoping it would offer a taste similar to a slice of hot pecan pie.
I have consumed dozens of cups of Green Mountain Southern Pecan Coffee and one thing I noticed right away is that this coffee isn’t necessarily the slice of pie I was dreaming of, but it is still very tasty in its own right. The aroma tempts the senses from the beginning with the scent of nuts and the flavor follows through with style. The taste, however, isn’t necessarily similar to a piece of pecan pie. It is still distinctly that of coffee, with added nuts as an enhancement. I have noticed, however, that added sugar does give this coffee more of a pie- like quality. I tend to not add sugar to my coffee, preferring instead to enjoy a completely calorie free and therefore guilt- free beverage. But sugar does, indeed, result in a taste that is more like that of hot pecan pie.
Creamer is also very tasty in this coffee, whether the creamer is vanilla, hazelnut, or several other different flavors. I sometimes add hazelnut to mine, and it does make for a creamy treat with only a few additional calories. But the taste is just fine all by itself. It really doesn’t need any enhancements from creamer or sugar.
Overall, Green Mountain Southern Pecan Coffee is a very good tasting coffee and I will continue to reach for these small K- Cups to start my day on a positive note. The dose of caffeine and the delicious taste of pecans, coffee, and mixed nuts make for an enjoyable start to any morning.
