Don’t Miss Fair Trade Rain Forest Nut

Buttery, rich flavors of nuts combined with a fragrant vanilla and the sweet overtones of caramel and cashews blend in a delightful cup. This has been a long time favorite with Green Mountain coffee fans. One writes that she’s been buying it for over ten years and loves the ‘nutty’ flavors of cashew and Brazil nuts. This coffee is available in bags of whole beans, ground roast, and in K-Cups to be used in your Keurig single cup coffee maker.

This is a Fair Trade coffee and the beans are produced by farmers in co-ops in Northern Peru. However, many of these Peruvian workers have been drawn away from their usual jobs in the coffee co-operatives by the high wages paid by a government project for re-building a road. The co-operatives were very short on seasonal workers at their busy coffee harvesting time. So the co-ops joined together in the ancient Andean spirit of ‘ayni’ and took turns helping each other. They rotated, working on first one coffee farm, then moving on to the next, harvesting the beans and, by working together, they got the big job done. The co-op dedicated two large trucks to pick up all the coffee from the different co-ops and deliver it for sale to the coffee importer, Green Mountain.

This has been one of the very first Fair Trade coffees packaged by Green Mountain and is reflective of the company’s stewardship program of support for farmer cooperatives. It is committed to improving the quality of life in coffee producing countries by supporting projects that help develop independence, self-sufficiency, and empowerment. Many of these programs contribute to the improvement of the education, safety, and health of coffee growing communities.

Single Serve Coffee at www.singleservecoffee.com wrote about Rain Forest Nut, saying “…it has a rich flavor- almost a strong vanilla note and tastes of caramel as well. By itself and without the cream, you get a hint of the flavor but by adding cream and sugar, the Rain forest Nut flavors really come out. The reviewer continues, “The other thing we really like about the Rain Forest Nut?  It tastes real. It doesn’t have a syrup or artificial taste to it. It also lingers in your mouth and as the coffee cools down, delivers a very similar taste each sip you take.”

Don’t miss the great flavor of Fair Trade Rain Forest Nut. It’s a tribute to the farmers who raise the coffee on their tiny farms and work in co-operative efforts to improve their lives and those of their family. It’s also a tribute to Green Mountain Coffee , who works to support the coffee farmers and bring a higher quality product to you!

I love waking up to the smell of this k-cup in my Keurig B70 in the am.
