Green Mountain Coffee



I'm a bzzagent and I get to bzz about Green Mountain (fair trade) Coffee.  This was very exciting to me because I'm a BIG coffee lover.  I enjoy coffee, even look forward to waking up in the morning so I can have my coffee. 

So I got my bzz kit, it contained 3 -8-cup sample packs and several coupons and literature about Green Mountain Coffee.  So immediately I went and cleaned up my coffee pot, got rid of the stale old Maxwell House that was leftover and made a pot of Green Mountain. 

On first sip, it was bold, it was rich, it was full bodied.  Just the way I like it because I enjoy half and half to mellow it out.  No sugar needed, this stuff isn't bitter, it's smooth. 

Oh and the best thing is that it's a fair trade coffee.  I had heard of fair trade before but didn't really understand what it meant.  In a nutshell it means it helps farmers get a fair price for their beans, improves working conditions, protects the environment and helps communities.  So not only is it good coffee, it's responsible coffee. 

Here's my first but not last cup, in my favorite mug:
