Blonde Espresso Roast is one of Starbucks' best-known varieties, and like all Stabucks coffee, is made from 100% Arabica beans. The beans are native to Latin America, and are roasted so the natural sweetness of the beans has been particularly highlighted. This has resulted in a soft and well-balanced coffee, whose character makes it ideal for use in combination with milk, where Starbucks uses it in many of their classic espresso drinks, to give the coffee a rounder taste, without the burnt notes, like a stronger espresso will give.
