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.
