Darkest. The Story of Morning Joe: Created to celebrate the opening of our first store in Chicago, this bold blend combines the helf of beans from the Asia/Pacific region with coffees from Latina America, plus a bit of roasty sweetness from our dark Italian Roast. Known outside our cafes as Morning Joe, this is a serious cup of coffee – full bodied and complex with hints of baking chocolate, dried fruit and caramel. The Starbucks Roast: Each coffee requires a slightly different roast to reach its peak of aroma, acidity, body and flavor. We classify our coffees in three roast profiles - Starbucks Blonde Roast, Medium and Dark - so finding your favorite is easy.
