Our boldest blend is making an impact outside the cup, too.
This assertive, confident coffee has been delighting its many fans since we first introduced it in 1987. In 2009, it became the coffee that symbolized a relationship between Starbucks and the MSNBC program Morning Joe.
An example of this alliance in action is our support for education through DonorsChoose.org. This nonprofit connects community members with classrooms in their neighborhoods. By highlighting the materials and support those classrooms need, donors can contribute and help make a real impact in their communities.
Meanwhile, the source of this blend’s impact inside the cup is a secret recipe of Latin America, Asia/Pacific and dark roast coffees. The interplay of these very different coffees weaves a deep and densely rich, complex taste, with waves of flavour unfolding as you drink it.
Because of its great depth, this coffee is a fun one to pair foods with. Here are four flavours that can hold their own next to it: tangy cranberry, woodsy maple, buttery-sweet caramel and dense cheesecake.
