Last week, I received an awesome Bzz Kit from BzzAgent in the mail.  I opened it and immediately started doing the happy dance. Why? Because my husband and I use our Keurig Brewer everyday and we absolutely love it! Imagine my reaction when I opened my Bzz kit and it was filled with a box of 12 Green Mountain Fair Trade Select Medium Roast K-cups, a sampler pack with four assorted -cups (Columbian Fair Trade Select, Vermont Country Blend, Our Blend and Extra Bold Sumatran Reserve) and a stack of $1 off coupons! Woo Whoo!! Can you tell we love our coffee?
This particular coffee we have been sampling is Certified Fair Trade Coffee. What is that, you ask? Fair Trade basically means that you can feel assured that by purchasing fair trade coffees, farmers are being paid a fair price for their goods. Farmers in return adhere to special environmental standards such as eliminating the use of pesticides and certain chemicals as well as protecting water resources, which is healthier for you and your family.  Workers are also protected and assured of fair and acceptable working conditions. And, as a result of all of these standards, the consumer receives high-quality coffee. Can you see the difference you can make by purchasing Fair Trade Certified products?
October is Fair Trade Month. What a great time to explore more about this wonderful practice and begin to realize how your purchases can make a difference for yourself, your family, farmers and the environment. Being eco-conscious is a mutually beneficial choice.Â
Head over to Green Mountain to learn all about their Fair Trade products. Guess what? They even have a  Fair Trade Pumpkin Spice K-Cup® Coffee! How perfect is that this time of year? Yum…I am pretty sure I will be adding this flavor to my wish list!
Disclosure: I received Green Mountain Fair Trade Certified K-cups and coupons for this Bzz Campaign. All opinions are completely my own.
How did you get this freebie?
I am a member of Bzz Agent. You can click on the Bzz Agent link in my post for more information about Bzz Agent or how you can sign up!
I have been a memeber of Bzz Agent for awhile. How did you know they where giving this away?
I was sent an invite email for the campaign a few weeks prior to receiving the kit.
so Bzz Agent is directed more for people with blogs?
No, not necessarily…I have done quite a few Bzz Campaigns in the past (even prior to blogging)…I am not sure but having a blog may help since it can get the word out about products to a large group of readers.
Well that was a nice free treat from them.
