MSI Coffee Tasting Club: Week #5 - Caffè Verona

See prior posts to learn more about the tasting club

Caffè Verona® by Starbucks Coffee

April 5-11

A versatile blend combining Latin America and Asia / Pacific coffees with a touch of Italian Roast.

If Cupid used coffee instead of arrows, this blend might as well be his weapon of choice.

Caffe Verona is a seductive blend of beans from Latin America and Indonesia, with a gentle touch of Italian Roast lending depth, soul and sweetness.

Because this delectable combination pairs so very well with chocolate, it has become a Valentine's Day favorite - and the coffee we most associate with romance. Bella, Bella!

Intensity: Bold

Food Pairings: Savor with a decadent chocolate mousse or chocolate-dipped fruit.

Origin Notes: A blend of 80% Yukon Blend®, an array of Latin American and Indonesian coffees; and, 20% Italian Roast - a blend of Latin American coffees.

My Notes:

Smell: chocolate, spice
Taste: smooth, coco, spice
After taste: bitter / acidic

This coffee is my new top of the list for this bold adventure

My preferences, best to worst, so far:
1) Caffe Verona
2) Italian Roast
3) Yukon
4) (STARBUCKS)RED
5) Komodo Dragon
