WATERBURY, Vt. — Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. has extended its agreement with McDonald's USA to source, roast and package Newman's Own Organics Blend coffee for more than 600 McDonald's restaurants in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine and Albany, N.Y.
McDonald's first introduced Newman's Own Organics coffee roasted by Green Mountain Coffee, a segment of GMCR, to its restaurants in New England and Albany in October 2005.
Created exclusively for McDonald's, Newman's Own Organics Blend is a combination of light and medium roasts. The blend is available in regular and decaffeinated and is served as both hot and iced coffee. McDonald's also offers Newman's Own Organics Blend in three iced coffee flavors in New England and Albany: Hazelnut, Vanilla and Caramel.
