MSI Coffee Tasting Club: Week #2 – Italian Roast

Italian Roast by Starbucks Coffee

This sturdy Multi-Region Blend is a sweet, bold cup of coffee.

This sturdy Latin American blend is less complex than Espresso Roast and not as intensely smoky as French Roast. Nonetheless, it's a potent, bold cup of coffee.

More about this coffee: Italian Roast is the coffee flavor found in Frappuccino® blended beverages containing coffee.

Intensity: Extra Bold

Food Pairings: Italian Roast is amazing with dark chocolate and any buttery pastry.

Origin Notes: Blend of Latin American coffees.

MY NOTES:

Smell: chocolate, coffee, roast
Taste: thick, dark spice fronted by a bit of acidity
After taste: oily slick of sweet spice for a moment

I didn't want to add sugar or cream it's nice and enjoyable the way it is.

This wasn't as aromatic as the Yukon (MSI Coffee Tasting Club: Week #1 – Organic Yukon Blend® but I liked it better.
