Blonde espressos are one of my favorites. This roast was one of the best light roasts I’ve had in years. The taste was refreshing and very similar to tea, which is quite different than most of the coffees I’ve brewed at home. Because it is only available for a short time as it is included in the 2019 winter collection hurry and find it before it is too late! I’ve already seen it listed on eBay for nearly twice the retail value as quantities run low in Starbucks stores.
Pros – Brews well, light flavor, single origin, nice creama
Cons – Limited availability
Personal rating – 3/5
