It may seem like Starbucks has been around forever, but the coffee chain is actually only 50 years young this year. To celebrate this milestone birthday, Starbucks is releasing a limited-edition coffee blend with some breathtaking packaging.
Starbucks' Anniversary Blend certainly sounds like something worth celebrating. It is described as a "bold blend sourced exclusively from Indonesia that displays tasting notes of smoked cedary spice, black truffle, & fresh tarragon." The chain, which launched its first shop in Seattle in 1971, has often offered an Anniversary Blend over the years, with the first time being for its 25th anniversary in 1996. Since then, the blend has become a fan-favorite.
In case you're not into buying a bag of whole bean coffee, Anniversary Blend will be offered as the dark roast brew in most Starbucks stores from March 8-14 so you can try it for yourself. Hey, it's going to be cold out a little bit longer so you may as well warm up with this cozy-sounding brew.
Starbucks will also be offering some limited-edition Starbucks 50th Anniversary Merchandise featuring the iconic Siren logo that it's come to be known for. We, as Starbucks fans ourselves, know how much our fellow fans love coffee-inspired merch, so we'll be sure to keep our eyes peeled for this stuff the next time we hit up the store. Maybe, perhaps, when we head over to get some oat milk in our coffee for the first time today?? Who knows!!
