Green Mountain unveils daring new coffee flavor

Not satisfied with such mundane flavors as hazelnut and French vanilla, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. seems intent on experimenting with an exotic variety of caffeine - peach coffee.

The Waterbury, Vt., company periodically issues Limited Edition Seasonal coffees for the caffeine connoisseur, and one current offering from the Green Mountain "flavor mavens" is Perfect Peach, the company said in a press release. (The release included the photo that appears with this post.)

In describing Perfect Peach, Green Mountain said, "Its light fragrance and sweet fruit notes make it perfect for warmer weather."

Peach joe? At first blush, this combo would seem unlikely to win over the discerning coffee lover.

But the Vermont flavor mavens have some advice for the skeptics: "Give peach a chance."
