Trader Joe's Organic Fair Trade Wake Up Blend Ground Coffee — Medium Roast | 100% Arabica | 14 oz
Some coffees are built for the weekend. This one is built for every morning. Trader Joe's Organic Fair Trade Wake Up Blend is the kind of medium roast you can brew on autopilot and still look forward to — bright enough to wake you up, smooth enough to drink black, balanced enough to work with milk or cream. It's a daily driver that earns its place on the counter.
This 14 oz (397g) pre-ground medium roast is made from 100% Arabica beans sourced from four Latin American origins: Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras, and Peru. The multi-origin blend creates a layered flavor profile — bright acidity from the higher-altitude Mexican and Peruvian beans, natural sweetness and nutty undertones from the El Salvador and Honduras components, and a smooth, clean finish that holds up across brew methods. Nitrogen-flushed packaging preserves freshness from roast to cup. Certifications: USDA Organic, Fair Trade Certified, Kosher Pareve. Vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free. No additives or flavorings — just 100% Arabica ground coffee.
Trader Joe's has been sourcing quality coffees at accessible prices for decades. The Wake Up Blend is one of their most consistent offerings — a certified organic, fair trade ground coffee that competes with specialty roasters at a fraction of the price. The Fair Trade certification means the farmers who grew these beans received fair wages and worked in verified safe conditions. The USDA Organic certification means no synthetic pesticides or fertilizers in the growing process.
Works in any standard drip coffee maker, pour-over, or French press. Pre-ground to a medium grind — approximately 28 cups per 14 oz bag based on 2 tablespoons per 6 oz serving. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place after opening. Do not refrigerate or freeze pre-ground coffee.
