Tasting Notes

Sweet Orange & Brown Sugar

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.

The Story of Breakfast Blend

We introduced this blend in 1998 for those who prefer a milder cup. A shade lighter than most of our offerings—more toasty than roasty—it was the result of playing with roast and taste profile together for a flavor that appealed to a wider range of palates. Perfect if you want to wake up to a less intense coffee but still want a lot of character, it's light and lively with a soft sweetness.
