Celebrating an Indivisible Nation with an Indivisible Brew

One of the reasons I decided to work at Starbucks was that I knew I would have the opportunity to work on some really cool community-focused projects. But I didn’t know that I would have the opportunity to work on a product that would have a positive impact on one of the most pressing problems facing America today: creating jobs.

Indivisible Blend is a Starbucks® Blonde Roast coffee that represents the spirit of America, past and future. Like our indivisible country, this coffee celebrates our history through world-class blending expertise; and our future through our new Starbucks® Blonde Roast coffees, and it’s delicious both hot and iced.

I have a great job. I was in Kona, Hawaii, recently, where I got to see the passion and pride that farmers bring to the coffee they grow there. They are resourceful, creative, adventurous, and completely committed to their farms, their mills and their craft.

The Return of Starbucks Tribute Blend

Tribute Blend is back

It’s true. We said we’d never bring it back.

Timeless Sidamo

“Our grandfathers left us a timeless treasure,” Lankamo Lana tells me as we walk through the impenetrable lush garden farms of the Homacho Waeno Cooperative in Sidamo. “The ability to understand how to keep coffee ageless through garden farms,” he says.

Most coffee farms can be traversed with ease through the relatively wide spaces between growing coffee trees, but here, the spaces between are filled with growing food. I can barely keep up with him as I carefully avoid destroying the delicate crops. I stare at him, pretending I understood what he just said, as he disappears into the next garden.

Java Means Coffee

 

Blue Java Indonesia is here.

So, what’s with the name Blue Java? Well, blue refers to the color of the raw coffee beans before we roast them up. Most unroasted coffee beans have a greenish hue, but what is unusual about these raw beans is that they show distinctive deep blue-green color. In the cup, the coffee has herbaceous notes of sage and fresh earth and a sweet and syrupy mouthfeel.
