Make a difference with Green Mountain Fair Trade coffee

Hi, My name is Tish and I am a Coffaholic. Now I know that real coffee drinkers would probably not be happy with my last statement if they knew how I like to drink my coffee. You see I am a medium to light roast coffee drinker and my husband often says that I have a cup of creamer with a side of coffee. Even though I would not consider myself a coffee connoisseur, I do enjoy a cup of coffee at least once and sometimes twice a day. With this being said, I will say that I am a little picky about the flavors of coffee that I drink because I do not like it to be too strong or too flavored. I prefer a more mild coffee which I can flavor with my creamer. Because of this, my coffee choices usually stay with green mountains Nantucket blend. and Fogers Black Silk. I am always on the lookout for new flavors so I was excited when Bzzagent contacted me to try out Green Mountain's Fair Trade Three Continent Blend. This coffee is great because it is made from coffee which is sourced with beans from Sumatra, South America, and Ethiopia. Together these beans create what green mountain calls a "harmonious blend with a luscious body, sweet smoothness, and a delicate finish". After tasting this coffee this morning, I must agree with them. I found the coffee to have a strong yet smooth flavor which went along well with my favorite creamer. What made this cup of coffee even better was the fact that this coffee was not only good, but it also had such a positive impact on people worldwide. You see this coffee is Free Trade certified which means "farmers to get a fair price for their beans, which leads to community development projects like new schools, improved roads". Knowing this makes me feel good that I am able to help the farmers and their communities worldwide. In an effort to celebrate Fair Trade month, Green Mountain Coffee has launched ChooseFairTrade.com, where you can learn all about the benefits of buying Fair Trade Certified™ coffee.

So why not make a difference each time you enjoy your cup of Joe. If you have not tried it head to your local store and give it a try, you will not be disappointed.
