Starbucks
also welcomes the return of Christmas Blend, our most beloved coffee enjoyed in
more than 60 countries around the world. Since 1984, Starbucks has created its
special Christmas Blend coffee every year, showcasing its artistry in roasting
and blending. In creating the 2016 blend, Starbucks ages the rare Sumatra beans
for up to five years, and as the coffee rests, it develops a cedary, deep and
earthy flavor. These beans are then combined with robust coffee beans from
Asia-Pacific and vibrant coffee beans from Latin America resulting in a
full-bodied coffee that pairs well with a variety of Christmas foods, from
savory meals to sweet desserts such as the all-time favorite Starbucks Chocolate
Toffee Nut Loaf. This year’s Starbucks® Christmas Blend stands apart
with pronounced flavors and deep, intriguing layers of spiciness and sweetness.
Customers
are invited to choose their favorite Starbucks Christmas Blend from a range of
formats to suit their tastes and preferences. Coffee connoisseurs can enjoy
whole bean offerings, or share the joy of Christmas with Starbucks® Christmas Blend Origami™, a delightful and convenient
single-use filter for the perfect portioned cup of coffee on-the-go. Another
thoughtful gift for busy coffee lovers is Starbucks
VIA® Ready Brew Christmas Blend, an instant Starbucks kick to create Christmas
in a cup – wherever, whenever.
Customers
can also explore the deeper, darker Starbucks®
Christmas Blend Espresso Roast – an added option alongside Starbucks
signature Espresso Roast in handcrafted espresso beverages this season.
Great
coffee can only be paired with great tasting food. Customers can now look
forward to the return of their favorites; Chocolate Toffee Nut Loaf, Peppermint
Brownie, Gingerbread Cookie, Chicken Fajita Roll and the Chocolate Crepe Cake.
Starbucks is also bringing in new delectable food items to celebrate the
festive season; the Single-Origin Chocolate Cake made with Venezuelan Cocoa
Beans, Chocolate Fudge Cheesecake, Triple Chocolate Truffle Cookie, Chocolate
Cruffin, Cranberry Bliss Bar, Chicken and Turkey with Cranberry Sauce on Croissant
Baguette and the Croque Monsieur on Croissant Baguette.
To celebrate the spirit of the season, Starbucks invites
customers to participate in the upcoming Christmas Grand Launch to be held on
October 29 and 30 at the Grand Atrium of Shangri-la Plaza in Mandaluyong City.
