For a limited time, Starbucks is also releasing its winter coffee to offer bold flavor notes:
- STARBUCKS SINGLE-ORIGIN GUATEMALA CASI CIELO™: Sourced from Guatemala’s high-altitude volcanic Antiguan region, this batch of Guatemala Casi Cielo coffee represents our expression of one of our most-beloved coffee origins. With elegant floral aromatics and notes of citrus and dark chocolate, this single-origin coffee is not to be missed. Bright, smooth, and irresistibly balanced.
- STARBUCKS SINGLE-ORIGIN HONDURAS MARCALA: Located in the Western Highlands of Honduras, Marcala experiences both cool mountain air and tropical heat throughout the day, creating the perfect conditions for growing sublime coffee. However, the true success of this region lies in its resilience. Challenged by urbanization and climate change, coffee farmers continue to preserve in the effort to ensure the future of Honduran coffee. Each cup captures the spirit of their dedication, layered with notes of orange blossom and macadamia nuts.
- STARBUCKS RESERVE COSTA RICA TRES RIOS: This coffee represents Starbucks’ long-standing partnership with Bella Vista farm. Their dedication and commitment result in a cup with delicious notes of Hazelnut Chocolate and Cara Cara orange with an inviting demerara-syrup sweetness.
Tres Ríos may be one of the smallest coffee-growing regions in Costa Rica, but it’s also one of the best. With its high altitude and mineral-rich soil cultivated by the nearby Volcán Irazú and the microclimate’s hot days and cool nights, this region consistently produces incredible coffee. And Bella Vista, the farm that’s been producing this coffee for us for more than 20 years, is one of the last-standing farms in the area after years of urban development.
