From our first store in Seattle’s Pike Place Market to our coffeehouses around the world, customers requested a freshly brewed coffee they could enjoy throughout the day. So in 2008, our master blenders and roasters worked together with customers to create it for you. The result was Pike Place Roast, a blend so consistent and harmonious that no single characteristic dominates—or disappears.

We source 100% arabica beans when crafting our coffee. Each coffee bean requires a unique balance of temperature and time to reach its individual peak of aroma, acidity, body and flavor. This delicious medium-roast blend has a smooth body and the subtle flavors of cocoa and toasted nuts. It’s a rich, satisfying and balanced cup.

The Starbucks Difference: It's where sustainable and ethical sourcing meet to create a long-term supply of high-quality coffee and positively affect the lives and livelihoods of coffee farmers and their communities.

Starbucks, in pursuit of premium quality coffee, sources beans from more than 30 coffee-producing countries located within the "Coffee Belt." As a result, we have instituted our own set of comprehensive guidelines to help ensure the coffee we buy is ethically grown and responsibly traded.
