Coffee and fair trade...best of both wolds

I have always enjoyed good coffee.  I like my coffee to be strong, rich and robust, with a splash of milk and one ice cube.  Prior to having kids, I loved a certain über expensive Kona coffee from Hawaii.  However, when we chose to become a one income family, certain luxuries had to be let go.  My coffee was one of these luxuries.
A year ago, I got a Keurig and have been purchasing kcup from the target clearance endcaps and scratch and dent stores around here.  I have had some good ones, and some that were down right icky.
However, I never had any that were outstanding and would send me to the full price aisle to seek it out.  That has all changed.
I participated in the Green Mountain Fair Trade BzzAgent campaign and was sent the Three Continent variety of coffee to try.  Needless to say, I was excited to try free coffee!  I learned about Fair Trade and viewed a video featuring Kelly Clarkson visiting farmers involved in the process.  Fair Trade secures a fair wage for the growers.  This enables them to have a better way of life with fresh water and many other basic human rights we take for granted.  The growers can put more time and "love" into their crop and the end result is fabulous.  I like the thought of helping out the selfless growers that help me wake up every morning and keep up with my kiddies.  I have known many farmers in my life, and it know the countless hardships and challenges they face.  It is a job of dedication, not an easy paycheck.
When I tried the first sample, I was struck by the strong, full bodied smell that filled my kitchen.  This coffee is not for the weak.  It has a rich robust flavor that is reminiscent to the Kona of my past.  I'm no longer going to be happy with the clearance varieties.  This is worth venturing into the full price aisle.  My fancy coffee days have returned.  The fact that it is Fair Trade makes it even better.
