Christmas at Starbucks is a special time for coffee as our Christmas Blend returns to our stores. This year sees us celebrate 25 years of Christmas Blend at Starbucks with a smooth, spicy and warming blend of beans - a perfect complement to rich Christmas foods and good cheer.

Coffee is at the heart of Starbucks history. Since 1971, our passion has been to excite and inspire you to enjoy the finest quality coffee available. Our commitment to this is the same today and we hope you share our passion as you begin to explore the world of coffee. Your adventure starts here...

At Starbucks, we sample coffees from around the world – more than 150,000 cups a year, in fact. We have to taste that many because we seek only the finest, richest and most interesting beans. Starbucks purchases only the finest, high altitude Arabica coffee beans available as they have a more refined flavour and quality than the more common Robusta beans.

Building relationships with farmers has ensured our success in having access to the highest quality coffee. We search for those who will bring the same passion to growing, harvesting and processing that Starbucks does to blending, roasting, packaging and brewing.  Passion equals attention to detail at every step of the journey.
