        San Juan, Puerto Rico – <\/strong>This year, Starbucks Puerto Rico is celebrating its 20th<\/sup> anniversary of retail operations in the market and its commitment to bringing the Starbucks Experience<\/em> to customers across the island.\u00a0 Since unveiling its first store at Old San Juan in 2002, Starbucks Puerto Rico has expanded to 29 retail locations across eight cities, with nearly 600 partners proudly wearing the green apron.\u00a0 Of the past two decades, the last seven have been in partnership with Baristas del Caribe, LLC. (BDC), licensed retail operator of Starbucks in Puerto Rico.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n

        As part of Puerto Rico 20th<\/sup> anniversary celebration, Starbucks Puerto Rico will release an assortment of limited-edition products, including a unique anniversary beverage, a Puerto Rico-inspired Espresso mug and, the first ever Starbucks Card dedicated to the island.\u00a0 These products will be available in all stores across the market starting on September 7, 2022. In addition, Starbucks announced the return of the popular Starbucks\u00ae Single-Origin Puerto Rico coffee to the local market.<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n

        \u201cOver the past 20 years, we have witnessed remarkable market growth while maintaining the highest standards of quality and service.\u00a0 Today, we are proud to achieve this milestone with the support of our partners (employees), customers and the communities that we serve and with a deep respect for all who are a part of the coffee industry in Puerto Rico,\u201d expressed Idis Ortiz-L\u00f3pez, general manager of Starbucks Puerto Rico.\u00a0 \u201cWe wish to commemorate this special occasion by presenting for a limited time the Choco Nut Spice beverage, created by our talented barista champions, whose passion for coffee craft and connection impress us daily,\u201d added Ortiz-L\u00f3pez.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n

        The Choco Nut Spice beverage, a combination of white mocha with a touch of caramel nut, oat milk and cinnamon, is designed to make anyone feel at home. The beverage will be available from September 7 to 14 and can be served hot, iced, or as a Frappuccino\u00ae Blended Beverage.\u00a0 Proceeds from sales of the beverage will go to the non-profit organization supported by the Starbucks store where partners accumulate the most community volunteer hours by the end of September 2022.<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n

        The 20th<\/sup> anniversary Starbucks Card and espresso mug will also be available in the 29 stores across the island, while supplies last.<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n

        \u201cThe design of the Starbucks Card depicts the Puerto Rican \u201ccoqu\u00ed\u201d frog, the national flower of Puerto Rico (the maga flower), and mountains and greenery from our beautiful countryside framed by coffee tree branches from farms of Puerto Rico.\u00a0 The design also includes our 20th<\/sup> anniversary logo that represents the passion for elevating the everyday coffee experience, guided by our mission and values,\u201d said Diego Moyett, marketing manager of Starbucks Puerto Rico.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n

        \u201cWith the 20th<\/sup> anniversary Starbucks Card, customers can be a part of our loyalty benefits program called Starbucks\u00ae Rewards, where they can earn two stars for every dollar spent.\u00a0 Rewards range from free birthday drinks, and coffee refills, special offers and the opportunity to redeem earned stars for your favorite Starbucks beverage or food,\u201d Moyett added.<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n

        The Espresso mug\u2019s, design showcases iconic places of Puerto Rico including the Pine Forest in Cayey, the Mayag\u00fcez city square, the mango fruit, surfers in Rinc\u00f3n, the well-known \u201cColibr\u00ed\u201d bird, which is commonly found in municipalities such as Orocovis, Jayuya, Utuado, and Adjuntas, and the Tropical Rain Forest El Yunque, in R\u00edo Grande.<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n

        Finally, as part of the 20th<\/sup> anniversary, Starbucks announced the reintroduction of Starbucks\u00ae Single-Origin Puerto Rico, a whole-bean coffee made exclusively with coffee produced in the mountains of seven coffee microregions in the central-western part of the Island, Yauco, Maricao, Jayuya, Adjuntas, Lares, Utuado, and Casta\u00f1er.\u00a0 The warm days and cool nights of the region help create thicker green beans, rich in complex flavors that add a low acidity to the medium-bodied coffee.\u00a0 Starbucks\u00ae Single-Origin Puerto Rico, with a medium roast, contains flavorful notes of walnut, coconut, and cinnamon.\u00a0 This coffee will be available in bags of 250 grams (8.82 ounces).<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n

        The 20th<\/sup> anniversary celebration of Starbucks in Puerto Rico also includes various community initiatives, including events with La Fondita de Jes\u00fas, a nonprofit organization that recently received a Global Community Impact Grant from The Starbucks Foundation; the 17th<\/sup> edition of \u201cDon\u2019t Let It Fall\u201d (\u201cNo Lo Dejes Caer\u201d) coffee picking event; commemorative events with partners (employees), such as a latte art competition between baristas; and other activities aimed at the appreciation of day-to-day customers.<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n
