"Being a Starbucks partner is one of the most special experiences I have ever had. I have accompanied the expansion of the brand in Colombia for 8 years and every day that passes I feel happier to be part of this team. Being part of the celebration of 10 years of Starbucks in Colombia fills me with pride, and the creation of these drinks reflects it. We spent months searching with our partners for the best way to represent our customers with the most iconic flavors in our market," said Nicolas Ramos.

“We are very excited to celebrate our tenth anniversary in Colombia, and the launch of these drinks is just one of the many ways we want to thank our partners, customers, and community in the market for being part of the Starbucks Experience since we opened our first store in Bogotá in 2014,” said Soledad Fantuzzi, Starbucks marketing manager at Alsea Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Paraguay and Uruguay.

In addition to the beverages, Starbucks unveiled a new merchandise line inspired by Colombia’s mountains, wildlife, and coffee heritage, aiming to highlight the market’s natural and cultural beauty.

Mexico City, Mexico - Starbucks, operated in Mexico by licensed business partner Alsea, has revealed a vibrant new packaging design for its medium roasted Single-Origin Starbucks® México Chiapas whole bean coffee, which features notes of chocolate almond and candied orange. The new packaging showcases an image of a jaguar surrounded by lush jungle vegetation set against the backdrop of a majestic waterfall in the Sierra Madre of Chiapas, where a rich legacy of coffee cultivation spans generations.

Starbucks recognizes and honors the coffee farmers near the El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve in southern Mexico, who are committed to preserving biodiversity through traditional growing methods. The high altitudes and fertile volcanic soil in this area create ideal conditions for producing exceptional coffee. As a result, every cup of Starbucks® Mexico Chiapas embodies the biodiversity and cultural richness of the region.

For over 30 years, Starbucks® México Chiapas whole bean coffee has symbolized Starbucks commitment to exceptional coffee growing in the market. The renewed product aims to honor and highlight the unique coffee community and natural heritage of Chiapas, setting it apart in both Mexico and the world. The new coffee packaging, with whole beans ideal for preparing at home, is now available in all Starbucks stores in the Mexican market. It also features an ethics seal, emphasizing Starbucks dedication to fair and responsible practices with Mexican coffee growers under the C.A.F.E. Practices program.

"We aim to enhance our packaging while honoring Chiapas and its wonderful coffee-growing community. Their hard work is reflected in the flavor and aroma of every drink we serve. We acknowledge and appreciate their significant contributions to Mexico and the market’s coffee culture. Behind every cup of coffee lies the dedication of these communities, who have cultivated some of the world's best coffee for generations," stated Francisco Tosso, General Director of Starbucks Mexico.

Starbucks® Chiapas, originally known as Shade Grown Mexico, is sourced from the mountainous region of the state, renowned for producing high-quality Arabica coffee. According to the Mexican government, Chiapas is the largest coffee-producing state in the market, accounting for 41% of the national volume, followed by Veracruz (24%) and Puebla (15.3%). Starbucks plays a pivotal role as a major purchaser and roaster of high-quality Arabica coffee in Chiapas.

Since entering the market, the company has enhanced its relationships with thousands of Mexican coffee growers, supporting them not only through regular bean purchases but also initiatives like <a href="https://historias.starbucks.com/en-es/press/2023/starbucks-mexico-celebrates-nine-years-of-supporting-local-coffee-growers-through-we-all-grow-coffee-program/">"Todos Sembramos Café."</a> This program has been providing coffee plants resistant to rust and other vital resources since 2014. This is especially important considering that the climate crisis poses a significant challenge for coffee farmers. For this reason, Starbucks will continue to promote initiatives that prioritize the work of local coffee growers and invites customers to savor Starbucks® México Chiapas. This product embodies the flavor and essence of one of the world's most significant coffee growing regions.

Bogotá, Colombia – In recognition of National Coffee Day, celebrated on June 27, Starbucks, operated by Alsea in Colombia, announced the return of its "Together for Coffee" program. This initiative allocates a percentage of the sales from its whole bean coffee to support local coffee-growing communities that are constantly addressing climate challenges.

"Together for Coffee"was initially launched as a pilot program in 2022 by Starbucks Colombia and the Starbucks Farmer Support Center in Manizales. In the first year, 1,500 native trees were donated to coffee growers in Nariño. In June 2023, an additional 2,000 trees were collected for growers in Santander following severe drought in the region.

This year, Starbucks Colombia aims to donate over 2,000 native trees to Huila's coffee growers through contributions from customers and partners (employees). The native trees offer necessary shade to coffee plants, reducing crop temperatures and ensuring higher grain quality and profitability.

"The return of the 'Together for Coffee' program underscores our commitment to Colombian coffee growers and strengthens our resolve to address climate challenges while securing a prosperous future for the local coffee industry," said Soledad Fantuzzi, Starbucks marketing director.

From June 27 to August 27, customers can visit Starbucks stores in Colombia to support this initiative where for every bag of Colombian whole bean coffee purchased at select market stores and through Didi Food and Rappi delivery platforms, Starbucks Colombia will donate $1,000 COP to purchase native trees to mitigate climate impact on coffee plants. The total donation will be matched by the Farmer Support Center in Manizales.&nbsp; Coffee blends included in the campaign are Starbucks® Colombia, Starbucks® Espresso Roast, and Starbucks® Colombia Nariño.

With over five decades of sourcing, roasting, and selling Colombian coffee worldwide, and with a Farmer Support Center located in Manizales, Starbucks is dedicated to collaborating with Colombian coffee growers to support their well-being, their families, and their communities, while ensuring a sustainable supply of high-quality coffee. Most recently through its Origin Grants program, <a href="https://historias.starbucks.com/en-es/press/2024/the-starbucks-foundation-and-mercy-corps-join-forces-to-uplift-women-coffee-growers-in-colombia/">The Starbucks Foundation and Mercy Corps launched two new projects</a> to promote the leadership and well-being of women coffee growers in Cauca and Nariño.

Santo Domingo - In partnership since 2020, The Starbucks Foundation, Starbucks Dominican Republic and Habitat for Humanity have continually strengthened their collaboration to positively impact local communities. This year, supported by The Starbucks Foundation’s <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/stories/global-community-impact-grants/">Global Community Impact Grant</a> program and marking the brand’s fourth anniversary in the market, a new project was implemented to support seven women microentrepreneurs who operate businesses from their homes.

With over 40% of households in the Dominican Republic led by women, who play a critical role in low-income sectors managing both productive activities and domestic responsibilities, the project aimed to integrate these entrepreneurs into the formal banking system through microcredits, enhancing their business infrastructure and income.

As part of this initiative, 55 Starbucks Dominican Republic partners (employees) participated as volunteers in service projects on June 11 and 12, contributing to construction tasks to ensure high-quality improvements in the microentrepreneurs’ business infrastructure, fostering significant economic and social development.

Since the inception of their partnership, The Starbucks Foundation, Starbucks Dominican Republic and Habitat for Humanity have impacted more than 260 people through various support programs aimed at empowering Dominican communities with decent housing. In 2022, this included supporting 16 families in improving their living conditions by progressively building their homes, facilitated by access to microcredit with financial allies.

core/group

Previously, in the form of a subsidy and supporting vulnerable families, Starbucks Dominican Republic and Habitat for Humanity have supported 14 additional families. Eight were impacted under the initiative to rebuild decent apartments called Floors to Play, together with the Inter-American Cement Federation. Two were supported during the recovery efforts from Hurricane Fiona in the east of the region and four were supported with a home painting program. Additionally, as part of its program to support vulnerable families, Starbucks Dominican Republic contributed to improving the living conditions of a coffee-growing family.

As part of their commitment to corporate social, The Starbucks Foundation, Starbucks Dominican Republic, along with Habitat for Humanity have carried out four construction brigades involving 148 volunteers, with an estimated 620 hours contributed since 2021. These brigades have supported families in improving their living conditions, including replacing dirt or poor-condition floors with concrete and painting work.

Lima, Peru - Building on its commitment to ensure a sustainable future of coffee for all and to improve the quality of life for Peruvian coffee farmers, Starbucks Peru – managed by licensed retail operator Delosi – today announced increased support to Peruvian coffee producers in Cusco as part of its “Todos Somos Café” (“We Are All Coffee”) campaign. The initiative, launched in 2019, has supported farmers in Pangoa, Junín, and Jaén, Cajamarca, and this year expands to Quillabamba, Cusco.

The coffee growers of Cusco have faced significant challenges in recent years, including severe droughts that have caused substantial losses in their production. Given these circumstances and to commemorate the relaunch of Starbucks® Single-Origin Peru whole bean coffee, from now through July 10 Starbucks Peru will donate a portion of the profits from the sale of whole bean coffee nationwide to fund solar dryers, harvesting kits, and water tanks for the community of Quillabamba in Cusco.

How this helps coffee growers in Cusco

The solar dryers and harvesting kits will significantly impact coffee production processes, enabling local coffee growers to evaluate humidity and promote the standardization of the product. The water tanks are crucial due to the droughts in Quillabamba, which hinder the post-harvest process. Without adequate water, farmers cannot properly pulp and wash the fruit, risking declines in the coffee's quality.

"To honor the relaunch and new packaging of Starbucks Peru whole-bean coffee, we aim to reinforce our commitment to Peruvian coffee producers by expanding the reach of “Todos Somos Café” (“We Are All Coffee”). This initiative – spearheaded by our passionate green apron partners – invites our customers to join us in supporting the coffee farmers of Quillabamba, deepening connections across the bean to cup journey and allowing farmers to sustainably produce premium-quality coffee, while also boosting growth and improving their quality of life," added Cristel Delgado, manager of Starbucks Peru.

By reinforcing its commitment to protecting the planet and improving working conditions in coffee communities, Starbucks strives to ensure optimal performance in the coffee supply chain, helping to protect the environment and preserve natural resources for future generations.

Located at Mall Paseo Valdivia, the store opening underscores Starbucks Chile's commitment to job creation, economic growth, and expansion across Chile’s Los Ríos region.

Valdivia, Chile – As part of its market expansion plans, Starbucks Chile, operated by authorized local business partner Alsea, announced the arrival of its first store in Valdivia, a tourist destination located at the confluence of the Calle-Calle, Valdivia, and Cau-Cau rivers.

Starbucks designs its stores to enhance the human connection made over a cup of coffee and to reflect the local community. The new Starbucks store in Valdivia offers a unique experience with a mural by a local artist that fuses art and nature, capturing the native flora and fauna of the Los Ríos region. Customers will feel like they are walking through forests and rivers while enjoying their coffee, creating an authentic Valdivia experience.
