The Best Part of Waking Up

While I sit here early, with Nick Jr. on the tv, my toddler running around with a crayon probably coloring on who knows what, and my baby crawling around behind her, I sip on my Three Continent Blend and it suddenly doesn't feel like an early morning after being up with the baby 3 times the night before.
Coffee is my escape.  I can sip the coffee and relax while waking myself up to get ready for a day filled with Fisher Price Little People, Barbie, Aristocats over and over on Netflix, and Cheerios, and I can feel ready to embrace the day. 
This picture is grainy, as I took it with my phone in the dark living room with only the light of the rising sun and Team UmiZoomi on the tv as my spotlight, but it is me enjoying my cup of Fair Trade Certified Green Mountain Three Continent Blend Coffee that I got for free from BzzAgent!  This is the coffee that makes you feel good you are drinking it, because it ensures that the coffee growers get a fair price for their beans so they can support their crops, community, and families! 

Fair Trade Certified Green Mountain Coffee

I got a new BzzAgent campaign box in the mail and it is awesome!!  I got 6 sample K-cups of Fair Trade Certified Green Mountain Coffee Three Continent Blend, and a book of 50% any Keurig machine coupons!  I am a big coffee fan, so I was so excited to be chosen for this box! 

I had heard of Fair Trade Certified Coffee but didn't know what it was.  The box included a pamphlet narrated by Kelly Clarkson on a trip to Peru to learn about Fair Trade Coffee from the coffee growers themselves.  You can read about it yourself at www.choosefairtrade.com

To quote their website, "Fair Trade certification gives farmers a fair price for their beans with a guaranteed minimum, which means they can invest in their crops, their communities, and their future. Fair Trade also lets Green Mountain Coffee® and farmers work closely together to bring the best tasting coffee to market."  Prior to receiving this share, I was unaware of coffee growers receiving less than fair prices for their coffee, and it made me happy to know that I will be supporting these farmers and their communities when I purchase Fair Trade Certified coffees from Green Mountain.

The variety of coffee k-cups I received were Three Continent Blend, which is one of Green Mountain's newest blends.  It is delicious!  There is no bitter taste, just good coffee!  I am a fan of hazelnut flavoring in my coffee, so I added hazelnut creamer, and it was perfect!  It smells great while brewing too, because my husband, who isn't a big coffee drinker, said it smelled good too!

Can't wait to try it!

Smells so good!

 

It was delicious.  You really should try it! 
I got all of these samples free from BzzAgent.
