Tasting NotesSmooth & BalancedWell-rounded with subtle notes of cocoa and toasted nuts balancing the smooth mouthfeel. The Starbucks® RoastEach 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. Committed to 100% Ethical Sourcing in partnership with Conservation International. starbucks.com/responsibility The Story of Pike Place® RoastFrom our first store in Seattle's Pike Place Market to our coffeehouses around the world, customers requested a freshly brewed coffee they could enjoy throughout the day. So in 2008 our master blenders and roasters created it for you, a blend so consistent and harmonious that no single characteristic dominates—or disappears. A smooth, well-rounded blend of Latin American coffees with subtly rich flavors of cocoa and toasted nuts, it's served fresh every day at a Starbucks® store near you.
