Green Mountain's Heifer Hope Blend is not my personal "perfect" cup of coffee although it may be for you.  Heifer Hope Blend K-Cup Coffee is a light roast which is why a particularly don't enjoy it (I tend to naturally favor darker coffees.)  The blend consists of a "vibrant blend of spicy Guatemalan, full-bodied Sumatran and spirited Mexican coffees." 

When I read the blend I was actually surprised that I didn't enjoy it more.  Sumatra is one of my favorites with its earthy, medium tones.  I have tried some Mexican coffee from Starbucks and absolutely loved it even to a point where I bought a pound of whole bean.  The blend must have a greater percentage of the Guatemalan beans since i tend to not favor the citrus, spicy and floral notes of most Central Americans coffees.  The Mexican one I tried at Starbucks actually surprised me for this reason (and they don't produce it any more!)

I have read many other reviews from across the Web and have seen mixed reviews.  Some people were calling it a "consistent performing smooth and full-bodied" while others referred to it as "too bitter."  I would have to side towards the "smooth and full-bodied" but add the "light" factor to help people who favor dark and bold coffees to steer clear of it.

The great thing about Green Mountain's Heifer Hope Blend K-Cups though is that it is fair trade and organic coffee. In addition, Heifer Hope Blend supports a worthy cause.  According to the K-Cup box, "Heifer International helps people help themselves by providing a sustainable source of food and income."  Whether than welfare, Heifer International gives people the dignity to hep themselves achieve a level of self-sustainability and livelihood.  That's cool.

Just a side note: Green Mountain has been exceptional with emphasizing fair trade, organic and socially responsible coffees.  I particularly find this impressive.  Although I still choose my K-Cups based on taste (I am of course in search of the perfect "K" cup) I do like the idea that I am also supporting good causes and a company with a social conscience.
