Origin
Before Starbucks coffee beans make it to your cup, they've been on a long and winding trek. Almost all of the world's coffee is produced in a region known as the Coffee Belt, which stretches across the globe between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. The climate, soil, and the culture of each region affects the taste of the beans. Starbucks sources its coffee from more than 30 countries around the globe.
Most Starbucks coffees come from three regions: Latin America, Africa and Asia-Pacific. These regions are known for their full-flavor, balance of acidity and weight. Starbucks also gets some of its coffee from the island of St. Helena, a volcanic tropical paradise in the South Atlantic Ocean.
Starbucks coffee beans are roasted to perfection for the perfect, smooth taste. The coffee beans are crushed into a fine powder, and ready for brewing. The powder is then mixed with water, and poured into the cup to make a delicious cup. The result is an espresso drink that is full of flavor and energy.
Starbucks stores offer a range of single-origin beans. While most Starbucks coffees are blended from various beans, they also have a few varieties that are made with only one bean. Single-origin Starbucks coffees are available in many flavors, such as chocolatey and fruity, sweet and nutty. Certain single-origin coffees are certified organic.
Although Starbucks's beans come from all over the world but they must meet certain standards to qualify as specialty coffee. Specialty coffee first came into use in the 1980s, when roasters and cafes began to experiment with lighter roasting and manual methods. Starbucks didn't begin sourcing their coffee with these standards in mind however, it has since adopted some of them.
Starbucks also strives to improve the quality of life of the people who cultivate its coffee. It gives its farmers a profit above market prices and helps them invest in their communities. It also promotes sustainability and strives to reduce waste. This has led to the creation of new practices for coffee cultivation and methods to protect the environment.
Roast
Starbucks roasts beans in large quantities and purchases them in bulk. The process of roasting takes from 10 to 15 minutes. The end result is that the beans are dark and roasted. Darkly roasted beans have an intense flavor and a full body. The beans are then ground and sent to supermarkets and stores in the form of coffee grind. The coffee that is ground is bitter and is not ideal for making the best cup. A majority of people add sugar, cream or milk or flavorings, as well as whipping cream to their coffee. This does not really mask the bitterness of the low quality coffee, but it is an effective way of making the drink more appealing.
When the beans are placed into the roaster they begin to steam due their internal moisture. The "first crack" is an audible noise that signals the beginning of the roasting process. At this point the sugars begin to caramelize and bound-up water escapes. The same time, the bean's structure is broken down and oils begin to flow outwards from their small pockets. This stage is the time at which most coffees are considered city roasts.
The beans that have been roasted are removed from any stones, or other impurities, that might have escaped the roaster. They are then inspected by hand before being bagged and sold. Some beans have a dark spot, which is known as the quaker. The beans did not change color and taste burnt. This is a common condition and does not mean that the coffee is bad.
Often the beans are roasting in small batches, as little as 20 pounds at one time. They are referred to as "micro-lots". This is because each coffee is roasted to specifications developed by a group of masters of coffee at Starbucks headquarters. The team of coffee experts creates unique profiles that are used by all Starbucks(r) roasting facilities across the world. These profiles ensure that every cup of coffee is consistent and has a certain level of body, flavor and aroma.
Flavor
Starbucks purchases their beans directly from the farm where they were cultivated, to improve the quality of their coffee and ensure ethical sourcing. They also plant an entire coffee plant for every pound of beans sold. The beans themselves are not labeled to indicate the origins of the beans, though some of the blends do - Veranda is from Sumatra, Komodo Dragon from Indonesian and Anniversary is a blend of african and centeral american beans. The flavour profile of the beans is unique and they create a smooth, velvety cup with delicate balance of sweetness and smoothness. Each sip unveils a symphony of flavors that leave a long, pleasant taste on your palate.
