Rain Forest Blend is a subtle, sweet, delightful coffee with tastes of vanilla, caramel, cashew, and real slices of Brazil nuts. Fair Trade certified only. Tasting NotesFragrant, buttery and rich with nutty flavors ?even real Brazil nuts!? our Fair Trade Rain Forest Nut is a sweet diversion. It"s also a bit of a departure from our Fair Trade line of coffees... while it"s certified Fair Trade, it"s not an organic coffee.The flavors of this cup are especially agreeable with milk, and adding sweet cream is an invitation to indulgence."We are proud that this is one of our flagship Fair Trade coffees ? supporting many small family farmers and beloved friends."? Patty VincentNotes from OriginWe frequently turn to the Unión Regional de Pequeños Productores de Café, in Huatusco, Mexico for the coffees in this blend. The cooperative was formed in 1992 by a group of small-scale family farmers who decided to take responsibility for lifting their community out of the extreme poverty they faced. Their success has been remarkable, and today the coop boasts more than 1,908 small farmers among its members, including 600 women.The increased revenue that Fair Trade and Organic coffee provides the farmers in this coop has enabled them to establish education facilities in rural areas, and build regional healthcare centers for several villages.Ecologically-minded, they"ve also used Fair Trade revenues to fund a reforestation program, while training their members in shade-tree cultivation and terracing, and to improve and expand their organic program, which now includes nearly 500 of its member farmers.

This coffee is especially lovely with cream. Try brewing it double-strength, and serve it over vanilla ice cream!
