Forty years of coffee-roasting expertise inspired master roasters to perfect the Starbucks Blonde roast - a lighter, gentler take on the Starbucks roast. Roasting this blend of specially chosen Latin American beans for a shorter time allows the delicate nuances of soft cocoa and lightly toasted nuts to blossom. Flavorful without being overly bold, this coffee brews a delightfully gracious cup that's perfect for welcoming friends or greeting a new day.
