The Latest Bzz: Green Mountain Coffee

If you believe nothing gets your morning off to a better start than a great cup of coffee AND you believe that coffee growers deserve a fair price for the hard work that goes into bringing you that satisfaction, give Green Mountain Coffee a try. This Fair Trade Certified coffee is a pioneer in the Fair Trade movement, ensuring that farmers not only get a fair price for their beans, but also that their surrounding communities see the benefits.

To learn more about Green Mountain Coffee and their work in the Fair Trade movement, visit and like their Facebook page: Facebook.com/GreenMountainCoffee.

As part of my awesome BzzAgent gig, I received three pots' worth of their House Blend in the mail yesterday. We brewed the first one this morning. My hubby and I agreed: "Not bad. Not bad at all."
We prepared this particular package, recommended for 8 cups, in our 10 cup maker. If you like a stronger brew, I'd suggest using the 8 cups. We like ours a little milder, so it turned out perfectly for our tastes! Keurig fans will be excited to know that Green Mountain is the leading K-Cup brand.





You can find Green Mountain Coffee in most grocery stores, plus your local Wal-Mart, Target, and online at GreenMountainCoffee.com/FairTrade.  Use this code: PASSIT-ON to get $2 off your online order there!

    Begs the question, just how fair trade are they. A leading coffee outlet here in the UK, while expounding that their product only contained fair trade beans, it turned out that less than 2% was fair trade.

      I wonder that too, and I was a bit discouraged that they don't actually require their farmers to grow with fair trade practices, only that they actively seek those who do.

      I do hope, however, that the practices are improving for all involved.
