It’s deceptively simple. A blend of fine Latin American beans roasted to a glistening, dark chestnut color. Loaded with flavor, balancing tastes of nut and cocoa, just a touch of sweetness from the roast. This coffee is their beginning, the very first blend Starbucks ever created back in 1971. And this one blend set the course for the way their master blenders and roasters work even today. A true reflection of them and a delicious cup of coffee, period. It all starts from here.
