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