You’re a…
Dolphin!
Dolphins are the creative geniuses, but sort of a wild card when it comes to their sleep and inconsistent schedulesDolphins usually wake up feeling fairly unrefreshed and are tired until late in the evening. They are most productive and alert in the middle of the night (You're the friend that is texting others at 2am cause you're bored lol)Why?Because when most people wake up, their cortisol levels rise to get them up and moving for the day. But Dolphins? Their cortisol levels drop in the morning, and spike in the evening, which is very common for inconsistent sleepers and insomniacs.During the day, you are most productive throughout spurts, and you try to take naps to compensate for your exhaustion, but it really does not help. “Coffee is a language within itself” — Jackie ChanWhy is Mountain Mama Coffee Always Fair Trade? Lemme Fill You In...1) Fair trade ensures farmers get a fair price — it’s all in the name, friend. Choosing a fair trade bean means you’re supporting a community’s economic independence.2) Fair trade beans benefit the environment. Do you like trees? Yep, I do too. Without fair trade, local farmers would have to cut down their biologically diverse forests to plant coffee trees — not on my watch, friend.3) And in terms of taste? You guessed it: fair trade’s got a lot more. Plus more than half of fair trade coffee is certified organic, so you're getting all the quality, without the harsh preservatives!Hi 👋 I’m Ksenia from Mountain Mama Coffee.We’re an artisan roastery and café out of Boulder Colorado.We’re 100% committed to sourcing the highest quality certified Fair Trade beans on the market.+ We take roasting seriously. Our small-batched beans are available in Whole Foods across the country. If you can’t make it to a store that sells us, no worries! Mountain Mama offers all our beans on our website.We believe you shouldn't have to sacrifice quality for taste. There’s nothing we care about more than making sure your morning coffee is the most delicious — and the most sustainable.Here’s How You Can Get the Most flavor From Your Light Roast!1) Once you’ve got the beans — I’m talking about Mountain Mama’s blonde roast, baby — grind them up for whatever percolating technology you’ve got lying around... Where’s that Aeropress?2) Use a slow brew method, like a pour over or french press! Light roast beans love to spend lots of time in water.3) Slowly pour hot, hot water over the light roast. Let it steep for a while. So it has lots of time to extract all those delicious notes.P.S. Don’t forget to ditch the extras! Our light roast is subtle and naturally sweet, and can get lost in all that cream and sugar.Our Mountain Mama Blonde comes from the mountains of Ethiopia, from a small community of farmers who have been perfecting the coffee bean for thousands of years. Taste the sweetness in the light roast as these beans are carefully, individually cultivated so they can shine on their own.Now that you're a part of our Coffee Insider Club, we’ll keep you updated on the latest fair trade beans!
