To celebrate 52 years since the global founding of Starbucks, in addition to seasonal drinks, in Brazil the season will have a special edition whole bean coffee: Starbucks® Anniversary Blend 2023. A testament to the past and a celebration of the future, this coffee was developed in 1996 for the 25^th anniversary of the brand. Originating uniquely and exclusively from Indonesia, this blend features aged beans from Sumatra, West Java, and Sulawesi, which together create a bold blend. This dark-roasted coffee stands out for its notes of smoked cedar and Jamaica spice combined with touches of fresh herbs and black truffle, creating a siren song of earthy flavors and spices. Available at all Starbucks stores across Brazil, from R$45.00, or the redemption of 150 Starbucks Rewards stars. Customers who purchase any of Starbucks whole bean coffee have the option to ask the baristas to grind them for free, according to their preferred brewing method.

To celebrate all the moments that Spring has to offer in style, new collectibles, with varied functions, complement the Spring portfolio, with ceramic mugs; plastic, ceramic, and stainless steel cups; and incredible tumblers to keep drinks at the ideal temperature, making customers’ days even more colorful and functional, according to their needs.
