I was blessed to try the Green Mountain Fair Trade Coffee this month and
believe me, it went super fast. Being an active mommy of an almost 3
year old, I am up early in the morning and then late at night getting
chores done. I do not get as much sleep as I need. Often in the mornings
I am tired and need a little pick me up to get me going. Also out house
is 100 years old, and like ice all day during the winter due to poor
insulation. I like to put on my Keen Howser house shoes (seriously like sleeping bags for my cold toes) and make my way sleepy eyed into the icebox that is my kitchen. I need a hot drink to warm up and get me motivated. I
selected a kcup of the Green Mountain brand and added whipped cream. Lots of it. I
only drink one cup of coffee per day as I want to limit my caffeine. I
thought the coffee was delicious, and I never need any sugar in it. I
use a fairly heavy hand of creamer, as I like my coffee a nice shade of
beige. :)
The coffee I tried was Three Continent Blend coffee, and it was sourced
from Sumatra, South America, and Ethiopia. I like how not only did the
coffee taste high quality and fresh, (also smelled amazing) the farmers
that grow this coffee are given a fair price for their labor. This coffee is fair trade certified. Fancy huh. Yes it is. I like quality in treatment and quality in product. The farmers/producers/and all involved are
treated fairly and given a sense of pride with their product. Fair Trade
helps the farmers and their communities with improvements in their
lifestyle in the way of schooling, drinking water, roads, etc.
I received some coupons for 50% off the actual Keurig machine with a
discount code. We already have a platinum brewer, but I shared a coupon
with some friends. The fact that the codes were able to be sent over the
phone or by email were nice for those who do not live near me. I enjoyed this coffee and my husband enjoyed it as well. It smells
amazing when brewed and is delicious to drink. It has a good story to it
as well.
Green Mountain calls in Good Vibes. I tend to agree. I received these k-cups and coupons free to try in exchange for my review.
