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.
