Medium Roast. Tasting Notes : Cocoa & Toffee. Ground 100% Arabica Coffee. Kosher. The Starbucks Roast. Each coffee requires a slightly different roast to reach its peak of aroma, acidity, body and flavor. We classify our coffees in three roast profiles, so finding your favorite is easy. Medium Balanced Smooth & rich. The Story Of House Blend. 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 our beginning, the very first blend we ever created for you back in 1971. And this one blend set the course for the way our master blenders and roaster work even today. A true reflection of us and a delicious cup of coffee, period. It all staerts from here.
