Seattle, WA — With a flavor profile that features notes of cinnamon, candied orange and the sweetness of cane sugar, Starbucks introduces Starbucks® Mexico Puebla, a tribute to the passion and legacy of more than 1,350 smallholder farmers, who, through generations, have perfected the production of coffee and cultivated a coffee tradition rooted in the soul of these volcanic lands.

core/paragraph

This is a proudly Mexican single-origin coffee that pays tribute to the Puebla state's deep coffee and cultural roots.&nbsp; Grown in the region's majestic Sierra Norte and carefully roasted to Starbucks signature blonde level, this coffee captures the essence of its homeland. Available for a limited time, this coffee invites you to discover its unique history in every bean.

“Starbucks® Mexico Puebla celebrates the vast cultural heritage of the state, as well as the effort and passion of its coffee growers,” said Ricardo Arias-Nath, svp of Starbucks Latin America and the Caribbean. “We are excited to be able to offer our customers a coffee that connects exceptional flavors with the history of its land of origin and the sustainability of its production, as these are the hallmarks of all Starbucks coffee products.”

Honoring Puebla and its farmers

With its volcanic soil and high altitudes, Puebla provides the perfect terrain for growing specialty coffee. Starbucks® Mexico Puebla captivates with its unique flavor, while also reflecting the positive impact on local farming communities, many of them of indigenous origin. Since 2018, Starbucks has worked closely with farmers in Puebla through its C.A.F.E. Practices program, improving crop productivity and quality, while generating benefits for the families who depend on coffee cultivation.

One of the faces of this effort is Máximo Ponce García, a Totonac farmer from Zongozotla. Thanks to the technical support and programs from Starbucks Farmer Support Center, Máximo was able to increase his farm's yield and, most importantly, make his dream of providing a professional education for his children a reality.

"Thanks to the support and training I received, I transformed my coffee production and proudly watched my children become professionals—something I always dreamed of," Máximo shared.

Authentic Flavors and a design inspired by tradition

The packaging of Starbucks® Mexico Puebla captures the essence of the region’s culture and nature. Inspired by Puebla’s Talavera pottery, a handcrafted ceramic with Denomination of Origin, the vibrant colors and intricate patterns stand out as symbols of Puebla’s rich artisanal heritage. The design also honors the majestic Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl volcanoes, whose imposing presence not only adorns the landscape but also enriches the soil and microclimates ideal for growing this unique coffee.

With a blonde roast that enhances its acidity and medium body, this coffee is the perfect companion for baking spices, cocoa, and nuts, inviting a sensory experience that transports you to the heart of Puebla.

The Starbucks® Mexico Puebla single-origin coffee offers an incomparable flavor and reflects the tradition, land, and dedication of Puebla’s coffee farmers. It will be available at select Starbucks stores in Latin America and the Caribbean starting January 7, 2025, while supplies last. Don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy this exceptional coffee.

Santa Cruz, Bolivia – This season, Starbucks— operated in Bolivia by Delosur S.A., a subsidiary of Delosi — extends its commitment to the community through a special initiative aimed at supporting the families from Paurito, a village located just 30 minutes from Santa Cruz de la Sierra, which has faced significant challenges, including wildfires and the limited access to essential resources.

A Donation for a Better Future

As part of this initiative, Starbucks Bolivia announced that The Starbucks Foundation, through its Global Community Impact Grants (GCIG) Program —designed to address locally relevant causes—, has donated $10,000 to the Food Bank of Bolivia. This support will enable the distribution of food baskets to 50 families, benefiting approximately 250 people in vulnerable situations from children to seniors, with particular focus on promoting nutrition for children’s health and well-being. The Food Bank sources quality products from markets, businesses, and farmers to ensure they reach those in greatest need.

“This project goes beyond material aid; it’s an opportunity to empower the Paurito community, helping to strengthen its social fabric and food security. For the first time, our partners (employees) will have the chance to actively participate as volunteers in food distribution. We invite all our customers to join this cause and be part of the solution,” commented Cristel Delgado, Brand Manager of Starbucks Bolivia.

Share the Joy of the Season

As part of its Global Season of Cheer —a time dedicated to spreading joy and kindness—, Starbucks Bolivia invites everyone to join this movement of generosity. Throughout this month, customers can make non-perishable food donations until December 20th at the collection center located at Starbucks Ventura, on the Fourth Ring Road and Av. San Martín, Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia. The Food Bank of Bolivia, together with Starbucks volunteers, will help to distribute food and clients donations to &nbsp;families from Paurito. Every small gesture counts and adds to this cause!

Enjoy the Flavor of the Season

To make these moments even more special, Starbucks celebrates with a variety of seasonal beverages. This year, highly anticipated options like Starbucks® Hazelnut Caramel, Starbucks® Red Velvet, Starbucks® Cranberry White Mocha, and Starbucks® Cinnamon Toffee White Mocha will be available to enjoy anytime with friends and family. With flavors like smooth hazelnut and caramel or the festive mix of cranberry and white chocolate, every sip is an opportunity to savor the season while sharing together.

This December, Starbucks invites customers to join a movement of solidarity and support while enjoying seasonal beverages.

By contributing to the cause, customers help make a meaningful difference in the lives of families in Paurito. Together, we can create a lasting impact!

Supporting Hunger Relief Across Borders

Starbucks is committed to giving more than it takes from the planet and contributing positively to the communities it serves. Through initiatives focused on reducing food waste, donating nutritious unsold food, investing in food rescue infrastructure globally, and supporting long-term improvements in food security, Starbucks continues to make a meaningful impact.

Starbucks hunger relief efforts would not be possible without the support of its partners, customers, and local communities. Together, they continue to drive positive change across regions. Since the launch of The Starbucks Foundation’s Global Community Impact Grants program in 2022, over $10 million has been awarded to more than 150 nonprofits across 60 markets, supporting hunger relief and other causes. In addition, Starbucks supports partner volunteering, and disaster relief efforts to help reach families in need.

San Juan, Puerto Rico – Starbucks, operated by Baristas del Caribe in Puerto Rico, recently celebrated the 19th edition of its "Don't Let it Fall" (“No lo Dejes Caer”) initiative, reaffirming its commitment to supporting local coffee farmers.&nbsp; This movement, led by Starbucks partners (employees), aims to reduce the waste of ripe coffee cherries by collecting them directly at the farms during harvest season.

This year, 41 partners volunteered their time to visit Hacienda Encantos, located in Jayuya, on the northern slope of Cerro Punta, Puerto Rico’s tallest mountain.&nbsp; During their visit, the partners collected approximately 126 pounds of ripe coffee cherries, equivalent to 4.5 almuds, helping the farm maximize its production.

“The ‘Don’t Let It Fall’ initiative embodies our commitment to Puerto Rico’s coffee-growing community.&nbsp; By working together, we not only help preserve the island’s coffee heritage but also support the farmers who make enjoying an exceptional coffee possible,” said Idis Ortiz López, general manager of Starbucks Puerto Rico.

Hacienda Encantos spans 124 acres, with 35 acres dedicated exclusively to coffee production. The farm focuses on Arabica coffee varieties, including Marsellesa, Obata, and Limaní. All harvested coffee is processed on-site, ensuring quality and sustainability.

In addition to harvesting, partners enjoyed a special coffee tasting prepared using Chemex and Espresso brewing methods, enriching their experience with the coffee journey from bean to cup.

Through “Don’t Let It Fall”, Starbucks continues to reinforce its goal to contribute to the sustainable development of the local coffee industry, showcasing that coffee is more than just a beverage; it’s a connection between the land, the community, and a shared passion for excellence.

Lima, Peru — As part of its commitment to contribute positively to the communities it serves, Starbucks Peru – managed by licensed retail operator Delosi – and The Starbucks Foundation partnered with Planet Water Foundation to install a new AquaTower, a facility that includes a filtration system and handwashing stations, at the IEI No. 150 Mirador de Jesús Primary School, located in the Ventanilla district of Lima. This initiative will provide daily access to safe drinking water for up to 1,800 people, benefiting students, teachers, and local residents.

Starbucks Peru partners (employees) worked to build the tower under the direction of Planet Water Foundation. Volunteers also conducted educational workshops on health and hygiene, teaching children the importance of handwashing and maintaining healthy habits to prevent diseases. Through interactive activities, students explored the germ cycle and essential hygiene practices, empowering them to maintain and enhance their well-being.

In Peru, less than 45% of schools have access to drinking water, affecting the health and academic performance of over 1.8 million students, according to data from the Ministry of Education (Minedu, 2024). The critical need for adequate water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services in schools underscores the importance of projects like the one led by The Starbucks Foundation and Planet Water Foundation, which aims to guarantee these fundamental rights for the most vulnerable communities.

Cristel Delgado, Brand Manager at Starbucks Peru, commented: "At Starbucks, we are committed to the well-being of the communities where we operate. This project not only improves access to safe drinking water, but it also reinforces our commitment to sustainable social impact."

Planet Water Foundation is a nonprofit organization that strives to bring clean water to the world's most impoverished communities. Their Aqua Tower program – a 13-year partnership with The Starbucks Foundation – has positively impacted thirteen markets in Asia Pacific and Latin America and the Caribbean, including Cambodia, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Guatemala, Honduras, Laos, Mexico, Philippines, Peru, Thailand, Turkey and Vietnam.

San Pedro Sula, Honduras – Starbucks Coffee Company, in partnership with Premium Restaurants of America, today announced the opening of its first store in Honduras, which will start welcoming customers on Tuesday, December 10. The new store, located in the Pedregal area of San Pedro Sula marks the 26th market for the brand in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and the 88th market globally.

Premium Restaurants of America (PRA) – Starbucks trusted licensed business operator since 2010 – will operate the brand in Honduras, building on its success in the region. PRA currently manages 27 stores in Costa Rica, 28 in El Salvador, and 21 in Guatemala. The store opening is the first of four Starbucks locations planned for Honduras, with three additional stores set to open in San Pedro Sula by the end of 2025.

“We are proud to open our first Starbucks store in Honduras, marking a significant milestone in our long-standing partnership with Starbucks. This new café in San Pedro Sula is just the beginning, as we plan to expand the brand across the Honduran market, creating new opportunities for our partners (employees) and serving handcrafted beverages to even more customers,” said Sofia Flores, Country Manager of Starbucks Honduras.

“Starbucks is honored to partner with Premium Restaurants of America to bring our unparalleled coffeehouse experience to Honduran customers,” said Ricardo Arias-Nath, senior vice president of Latin American and the Caribbean. “Hondurans have a great appreciation for high-quality coffee, and we are excited to welcome our newest green apron partners to join us in creating moments of connection over coffee in our stores.”

A Sustainable Design Spotlighting Honduran Artists The new Starbucks store in Pedregal, San Pedro Sula, is a 287 m² (3,091 ft²) drive-thru location with seating for over 70 customers. As part of Starbucks global commitment to sustainability, this store is certified as a Greener Store, adhering to the company’s Greener Store Framework. This initiative focuses on eight key dimensions: Site Criteria, Energy Efficiency, Water Stewardship, Waste Diversion, Renewable Energy, Responsible Materials, Engagement, Health &amp; Well-being.

The store will feature artwork inspired by Honduran culture, celebrating the market’s rich heritage and traditions. Inside the store, a mural portrays a coffee farm landscape, with six farmers symbolizing Honduras’ coffee-growing regions—Copán, Opalaca, Montecillos, Comayagua, El Paraíso, and Agalta—celebrating the dedication behind cultivating this crop. Created by Honduran artist Dalia Balmaceda, the mural also celebrates local fauna such as the Honduran emerald hummingbird and the jaguar. The piece blends elements of street art with traditional folk art, using textures and details that reflect Honduran cultural identity.

The store’s interior design incorporates woodwork inspired by local traditions and the Lenca culture, with patterns rooted in the region’s craftsmanship. The furniture and sloping tiled roof are influenced by Honduran vernacular architecture, reflecting rural community design. Stone walls, reminiscent of traditional haciendas, add texture that connects to the local environment and cultural context.

Honoring A Rich Coffee Legacy: Celebrating Two Decades of Sourcing from Honduras To honor and celebrate Starbucks history in Honduras, the new drive-thru store will feature Honduras Cafico Reserve – a coffee that highlights our successful collaboration with coffee producers like the CAFICO cooperative, a locally renowned producer of specialty coffee. In addition, the store will offer pan catracho and semitas, beloved Honduran delicacies known for their savory and sweet flavors. The San Pedro Sula store will also sell Starbucks iconic Been There mugs, which celebrate the unique essence and coffee leadership of Honduras and provide customers with a special local memento.

As one of the largest coffee producers in Latin America and the Caribbean, Honduras plays a pivotal role in the global coffee supply chain. Starbucks connection to Honduras dates back to the late 1990s, when the brand first began sourcing coffee from the region. This year, Starbucks Honduran coffee is available in 15 markets across the world, underscoring the growing global demand for the market’s exceptional beans. Starbucks Single-Origin Honduras Marcala and Honduras Honey-Processed Los Naranjos showcase the excellence of the market’s coffee in Starbucks global portfolio.

A Commitment to Employment, Training and Community in Honduras

All of the 36 Honduran partners hired for the San Pedro Sula store were trained in El Salvador for one- to three- months ahead of the store opening to learn about the Starbucks Experience and gain crucial skills in preparing handcrafted espresso-based beverages. The partners also completed Starbucks Greener Apron certification program, which equips partners with the information and tools needed to learn about how Starbucks is committed to global sustainable business practices.

Furthermore, Starbucks has long supported Honduran communities through The Starbucks Foundation, with a focus on clean water access, empowering women in coffee, and supporting marginalized youth.

Located on Avenida Agustín M. García (Route No. 27), within Nordelta Shopping Center, the opening of this new store brings the Starbucks Experience to even more coffee fans and to new areas of Buenos Aires.

Buenos Aires, Argentina – As part of its ongoing market expansion plans, Starbucks Argentina, operated by authorized local business partner Alsea, announced the arrival of its first drive-thru store in Nordelta, in the northern part of Buenos Aires Province. The new location invites customers to enjoy Starbucks favorites, with the possibility of placing their order and picking it up from the comfort of their car. "We are thrilled to bring the Starbucks drive-thru experience to the Nordelta community, enhancing and modernizing our presence in the area. Our design and architecture teams have created a space that highlights local artwork, natural light, and work areas where all our customers are welcome, fostering moments of connection around coffee," said Claudia Aburto, director of Starbucks in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Paraguay and Uruguay.

Starbucks designs its stores to enhance the human connection that is established with a cup of coffee. The new Starbucks store in Nordelta, designed by architect Victoria Odriozola, captures the essence of the Argentine Delta. It uses native materials such as jute and walnut wood and is decorated with art inspired by the flora and river of the Delta, creating a warm and authentic atmosphere.

The murals were made by local Argentine artist RoF Varela, who was inspired by the diversity of Nordelta, also integrating the coffee plant to unite these two worlds. The murals depict the white heron, blue tacuarita and monarch butterflies, three species native to the delta, as well as the cortaderas (feather plumes), passion flower, lilies, salvia guaranítica (violet plant) and Solidago (yellow).

Further to Starbucks commitment to design and operate sustainable spaces, this new store has charging stations for electric vehicles, a space for bicycle repair, and solar panels. “With the solar panels we contribute to the reduction of the carbon footprint by 10 tons of CO2, which would be between 15-18% of the annual consumption and expenditure of the store,” added Soledad Fantuzzi, marketing manager for Starbucks in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Paraguay and Uruguay.

Since Starbucks arrived in Argentina in 2008 with its first store in Buenos Aires, the company has maintained its commitment to its customers. The new Nordelta location marks Starbucks Argentina's 133rd store with more than 2,000 dedicated Starbucks Argentina partners (employees) proudly wearing the green apron throughout the market. The Nordelta store will also contribute to the local economy by creating job opportunities for 21 future Starbucks Argentina partners.

The new store, located at Av. Agustín M. García 8554, will be open Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., Fridays from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Take part in the Starbucks Experience by visiting one of the stores in the market or through the website <a href="http://www.starbucks.com.ar">www.starbucks.com.ar</a>.

The collaboration with Fundación Alsea A.C.’s "Va X Mi Cuenta" movement stood out for its contribution to combating malnutrition in vulnerable communities across the market.

Since its launch in 2011, Starbucks Mexico’s volunteer program has accumulated nearly 8,000 hours of community work. The program not only invites partners (employees) to become agents of change but also empowers them to choose the causes they want to support, fostering a sense of belonging and genuine connection with the communities.

Partnerships with organizations such as Casa Hogar Margarita, Fundación AMAC, and the Hospital del Niño Poblano, among others, have been instrumental in maximizing the impact of these efforts. These collaborations enable Starbucks Mexico to implement initiatives that benefit a larger number of people and communities.

Starbucks Mexico continues to ensure that its social commitment extends beyond its operations, establishing itself as a key player in building a better future for communities across the country. Its focus on social responsibility reinforces its role in sustainable development and social well-being.
