In Latin America, coffee farms are often run by families, with their own homes on the same land where their coffee grows. We’ve sipped coffee with these farmers for decades, sitting on their verandas, overlooking the lush beauty of the coffee trees rolling out in the distance. Most times it was a lightly roasted coffee like this one. It took us more than 80 tries to get it right—mellow and flavorful with a nice softness.
The Perfect Blend: Starbucks Veranda Blend and 100% Arabica Beans
Starbucks sources 100% Arabica beans when crafting the coffee. Each coffee bean requires a unique balance of temperature and time to reach its individual peak of aroma, acidity, body and flavor. This Veranda Blend is crafted with beans harvested from Latin America. With flavor notes of nuts, cocoa and soft spice, these beans are known for their consistent taste and quality.
