Socially Sound Coffee (Fair Trade Certified) - Our Colombian Fair Trade Select is classically balanced, vibrant and complex with a splash of ripe fruit.

Notice Fair Trade K-Cup Lovers: Green Mountain has placed the following coffees on a temporary hiatus, due to a shortage of Fair Trade/Organic certified green coffees - GM Colombian Select, GM Espresso Blend, Newman's Special Blend and Coffee People Treehugger. We're told production will resume in mid-May.

Tastes like a late-summer Saturday morning. Our Fair Trade Colombian is a sunny, warming cup with aromas that recall gramma’s homemade apricot jam. In the cup, look for lime-citrus brightness and flavors of green apples and sun-plumped raisins. Its finish shimmers with sweet notes of grape and walnut.

We source coffees for our Colombian Fair Trade Select from cooperatives high in the mountains of Southwestern Colombia. Prominent among these is the Cooperative Association of Southern Cauca (COSURCA).

As if growing exceptional coffee weren’t challenge enough, farmer members of COSURCA have faced a number of threats to their livelihood, such as the ever-present threat from armed extremist groups who would have their land for illegal coca and poppy production. Even in the face of such opposition, COSURCA farmers have eradicated more than 500 acres of coca production, destroyed 17,000 coca plants, and ended cultivation of illegal crops on another 1800 acres … steps that were possible only with the additional revenue that Fair Trade coffee sales provided.
