What was the first blend at Starbucks?
It’s deceptively simple. A blend of fine Latin American beans roasted to a glistening, dark chestnut color. Loaded with flavor, balancing notes of toffee and dusted 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. Starbucks® Thanksgiving Blend is our expression of gratitude to the world’s most distinctive coffee regions. Beans from Sumatra in Indonesia, Sidama in Ethiopia, and the Antigua region of Guatemala are expertly blended and richly roasted to create a cup that’s delicately sweet—and worthy of the finest feast.Starbucks® Christmas Blend Christmas Blend brings together perfectly aged beans from Sumatra with dark-roasted coffee from Asia/Pacific, Guatemala and Colombia. With notes of herbs, baking spices, and a rich chocolate finish, each sip captures the magic of the season. Christmas Blend is also available as decaf.
