Vermont Country Blend is a mixture of light and dark beans. The result is coffee that is sweet, rich and aromatic, with a pleasant lingering finish. This coffee is one of our most popular blends. An engaging blend that reveals itself in layers. A darker-roasted base offers mellow, toasty flavors and a velvety mouthfeel, while lighter-roasted, select American beans provide clarity, and a winning finish. The result is a blend that is at once brisk and bright, yet undeniably smooth.
A lovely cup, whether you’re celebrating a crisp autumn day in the country, or longing for one. Grab a 24 K-Cup Box at Cross Country Cafe for just $14.25 or save with a repeat order!
