Coffee That Blossoms
Summer is also measured in meaningful moments worth recognizing and celebrating.

Starbucks® Single-Origin Mexico highlights the rich heritage of Mexico’s coffee-growing regions with smooth and balanced notes, while Starbucks® Sunsera Blend™ offers a bright and approachable profile with vibrant citrus character.
At the heart of the lineup is Starbucks® Single-Origin Perú Mujeres de Junín, a whole bean coffee grown by around 75 women farmers who are part of the Cafetalera del Centro producer association. Their work honors the strength and leadership of women cultivating coffee where the Andes meet the rainforest. Grown at high altitudes, where cool nights allow the cherries to ripen slowly, this coffee offers sweet meringue and chocolate notes.
