Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. announced the debut of Hot Cocoa K-Cups for Keurig's Single-Cup brewing systems. This is the first time hot cocoa is being offered in K-Cup® portion packs. Hot Cocoa K-Cups are available through wholesale, office coffee service distributors and on the web at www.GreenMountain
Coffee.com/HC.

With the addition of hot cocoa to Green Mountain Coffee Roasters and Newman's Own® Organics gourmet coffees and Celestial Seasonings® teas, consumers now have access to an unrivaled selection of K-Cups for use in Keurig's Single-Cup brewing systems. The new Hot Cocoa K-Cup portion pack holds the perfect portion for brewing a quick, easy cup of delicious hot cocoa at the touch of a button. The proprietary recipe was developed after extensive taste testing to create a superior hot cocoa beverage that holds a broad appeal for the entire family.

"We're pleased to offer Hot Cocoa K-Cups in response to requests from our customers and consumers," said Robert Stiller, president and CEO of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters. "This is a new direction for us that we're approaching with the same emphasis on quality, taste and aroma that consumers expect and receive from our gourmet coffees. We are extremely excited about the results of this effort."

The new Hot Cocoa K-Cups mark the latest in a series of "firsts" for Green Mountain Coffee Roasters' involvement in the single-cup industry. The company was Keurig's first roaster partner and the first to bring both tea and Extra Bold K-Cups to market.
