Batch roasting since 1971. Tasting Notes: Dark cocoa, roasty sweet. Flavor Intensity: Bold. Good coffee, doing good. We believe in purchasing all our coffee ethically. It's simply a better cup - from the farmers, to us, to you. Only 3% of the coffee grown around the world is good enough to make it into a bag of Starbucks coffee. And it's always 100% arabica. Inspired by Italian passion for wonderful food and coffee, this rich, well-balanced blend has a dark cocoa texture and a roasty sweetness, like the flavor of fire-roasted marshmallows after you pull of the darkened cap. Enjoy with chocolate truffles and dinner guests.
