Starbucks® Blonde Espresso Roast Last Updated – March 2021
Blend History
• For more than 40 years, our signature espresso coffee has been Starbucks® Espresso Roast. Its hallmark is a special blend of beans
darkly roasted in the classic Italian style to produce a rich and caramelly sweetness with a lingering roast finish. Starbucks® Blonde
Espresso offers beverages a lighter roast that provides a balanced and sweet flavor with a smooth, creamy feel.
• Starbucks® Blonde Espresso Roast is not simply about roasting coffee beans lighter. It’s about blending the right coffees to target a
flavor profile and then finding the precise roast to release those flavors in the beans.
