Mountain High Premium Dollar Tree Coffee Hazelnut Review


[spoiler title=’Click here to read the transcript. ‘ style=’default’ collapse_link=’true’]- Hey, welcome to Coffee, Coffee, Coffee, your place for average joe coffee reviews. Today’s coffee is from the mountains of Vietnam.

– So, today we’re reviewing Mountain High Coffee. No, Mountain High Premium Coffee.

– Mm-hmm.

– Yeah. It is what you find at Dollar Tree, or that’s where Anthony found it.

– Ant fog one, one of our viewers.

– His brother. It’s the hazelnut flavor. So, it was a dollar. It’s six ounces, so that’s only, you know.

– Two fifty a pound?

– Yeah, something like that.

– Yeah. So, we’ve reviewed a different kind of coffee from Dollar Tree, it was a French vanilla or vanilla. French vanilla? Vanilla. I think French vanilla.

– Yeah, it said French.

– But it was distributed by Greenbriar International, which is just like, you know like Dollar Tree’s paper products are from Greenbriar. This is from …

– Mountain High Coffee Company in Brentwood Tennessee. Isn’t that where Dave Ramsey’s from?

– So, it’s an actual coffee company.

– It is.

– From Nashville no less.

– Well, not Nashville, but Brentwood.

– Brentwood’s Nashville.

– Oh.

– But I’m sayin’, it’s like, “oooh”. Hey, and also, this is about a different review, but Maxwell House Hotel was in Nashville.

– Oh, well there ya go.

– Interesting.

– Yeah, very interesting.

– So, what do we know about this interesting looking bag?

– We only know that it has roasted, ground coffee, natural hazelnut flavor, and extract from Hazelnuts. And it says “contains hazelnuts”.

– Right.

– So, in case you didn’t get it the first two times, it has hazelnuts. Which is different than some of the other flavored coffees we reviewed, because a lot of times it’s artificial flavoring. It’s not real, you know, hazelnuts or whatever.

– Right.

– Like, Eight O’Clock, I’m pretty sure it said artificial flavorings, but this is true hazelnuts.

– Real hazelnuts.

– And the smell, when you smell it out of the bag, is maybe not very pleasant.

– Yeah, and when you’re brewing it, it’s not very pleasant.

– Now, compare that with like Eight O’Clock, when you open the bag it’s like, knock ya down with hazelnut goodness smell. But the flavor I didn’t enjoy on the Eight O’Clock. But, here we go.

– Yeah. So, we’ll see what it tastes like. I have actually not had this yet. Kayla did have some.

– Today.

– Today to see what she thought of it. Yeah, the smell isn’t very good. It’s kinda like a …

– This is my seventh cup of coffee today

– Well, the other ones were half cups.

– Well.

– So, your fifth. You had a fifth of coffee today.

– Okay so, the smell is, I think nice, pleasant. It’s not knock ya over with hazelnut like the Eight O’Clock was, but this is, ya know, obviously when you go in for it, you know that you’re gonna get hazelnut. And again, I am so pleasantly surprised at this coffee. It’s only a dollar for a bag, I mean, so two fifty for a pound. Super duper, duper cheap. And it’s good. Like, this to me is way better than Eight O’Clock hazelnut. I mean like, way better, and it’s way cheaper. So if you like hazelnut coffee, I would highly recommend that you try this one out, because this is good.

– Yeah. Or get some Nutella, and pour it in there too.

– Oh yeah, that would be delicious. We should do that, we’ve got a jar of Nutella. This is good!

– So, Hazelnut.

– This is even good, like, normally I don’t like flavored coffees, but this is like …

– Because it’s real flavoring.

– Yeah, yeah.

– Real flavor, not chemical flavor.

– Right, yeah.

– That’s probably it.

– It makes a big difference.

– The other coffee companies have, as far as we’ve found, do not do a good job of using the chemicals to make the flavor right.

– It’s like they overdo it to make it really smell good and the flavor’s like, ugh, gross. But this is …

– Well, ’cause your olfactory … That’s what it’s called, right? That’s what you smell with?

– Yeah, yeah.

– They, people know, you know when you … Half of eating is smelling. Smelling and seeing. But I guess not with coffee, ’cause this is a lot better than that …

– This is much, yeah, this is really good. And you know, this also made me think of the other Dollar Tree coffee we had. I kinda started thinking, “was it really that good compared to like,” and it was! I remember now, after drinking this, which makes me wonder if these two are the same.

– Yeah, the bag’s the same.

– Yeah, the bag is the same, but it’s different companies or whatever. This is good. This is really good.

– So, what do you think on the …

– Two for two on the Dollar Tree companies, which is shocking.

– So what do you think on the donut rating for this? The price is really good, so that gives you that.

– The price is so good.

– I don’t wanna go up, you know, to like a four or anything like that.

– No, that’s only for coffee excellence. Like, it’s gotta be, I mean … But I’d say a strong three and a half.

– Yeah, I think so.

– It’s, I would buy it again, even if I didn’t have to. Even if it wasn’t the nuclear holocaust.

– Right. Like the Daily Basis, even then.

– Oh, I wouldn’t drink that. I’d just quit coffee, and that’s sayin’ somethin’.

– That’s true. Well, if there are other flavors at Dollar Tree that you have seen, other than Bavarian French Vanilla and Hazelnut, let us know in the comments.

– Yeah, we’re always on the lookout.

– Yeah, we’d like to see if we can find ’em elsewhere.

– Yeah.

– All right, well until next time.

– Keep grindin’.

      Well, here’s another difference. Mountain High coffee is sourced from Vietnamese Robusta. I happen to love Vietnamese Robusta coffee. Also, the Dollar Tree store near by no longer has this.

      1. Dan, that’s interesting! Sorry to hear yours doesn’t have it anymore. It seems like Dollar Trees are hit or miss with consistently having the same products all the time. We looked at Dollar Tree’s website, and it did have Hazelnut coffee, but it’s in different packaging, so it might not be exactly like the one we reviewed. Here it is: Dollar Tree Hazelnut Coffee.
