Background: Starbucks' Gold Coast Blend is a blend of Latin American and Asia/Pacific coffees. Introduced in 1987 to mark Starbucks' move into the Chicago market, Gold Coast is intended as a coffee to juxtapose th harsh, wintry weather of the Great Lakes region while maintaining the luxury of Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood. It is recognized, therefore, by customers as a bold yet elegant blend.
Tasting: Aroma*****; cripsy, roasty scent of deep, dark cocoa. Acidity****; bright, popping acidity from the front to back of the tongue, pronounced on the back. Body*****; lingers powerfully and smoothly. Aftertaste is just as good and consistent as immediate taste. Flavor*****; rich, dark chocolate with a truffled texture. Extreme notes of heavy cream and buttery caramel with layered herbs and spices.
