That means the coffee in this bag is helping to create a better future for farmers and a more stable climate for the planet. Because we've always believed in a better cup of coffee. 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. What goes into pulling the perfect shot of espresso? A rich, high-grown bean for starters. And a blend that opens up to a longer roast with dark, head-spinning sweetness, like the sugary crown of a crème brûlée. Yes, we're talking about coffee. And we're crazy about our Espresso Roast. On its own and in a latte, the intense coffee flavor comes through every time. We'd never pull a shot without it. Our Dark Roasts: We roast coffees darker to achieve specific flavors - from subtle notes of caramelized sugar to a bold smoky taste. It takes special beans to go this dark. Anything other than dense, high-grown Arabica beans will turn to ash and leave an unpleasant finish. But when a good bean meets a skilled roaster, ah, that's something to be reckoned with.
