  • Starbucks Coffee

    Seattle, Washington

  • Special Reserve, Harvest 2003

Roast: Dark Review Date: November 2003
Origin: Not disclosed Price: NA
 

Blind Assessment: Pungently roasty with cantaloupe notes in the aroma. In the cup softens nicely, allowing some sweet lemon and grapefruit notes to glisten in the smooth, rather delicate roastiness. Sweet but gently astringent finish.

Notes: Judging by the best by date and the complex aromatics, the sample reviewed here was relatively freshly roasted, not always the case with Starbucks coffees. Visit or call 800-782-7282 for more info.

Who Should Drink It: Plenty good enough for emergencies.

Coffee, more so than wine, is a continually changing product. Recent reviews, whether written by Coffee Review or readers, are most likely to reflect current versions of a given coffee.
