Background: Starbucks' customer favorite Verona blend is a blend of blends. It is composed partly of Starbucks' Yukon Blend and partly of its Italian Roast blend. It is recognized as a hearty but sweet roast--comparable to Starbucks' Espresso Roast. Verona is among Starbucks' most popular coffees, being sold in Starbucks stores as well as in the grocery aisles. In the 1980s, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz took a trip to Italy and was inspired by the espresso culture that Starbucks would later seek to emulate. Cafe Verona is a blend reminiscent of Schultz's Italian experience. It is a good 'romance' coffee--notable for its sweet and refined texture.
Tasting: Aroma****; rich roasty cocoa and burnt caramel with faint floral notes. Acidity**; very slight and brief bite on the sides of the tongue. Body***; smooth body. Lingers but not heavily. Good balance. Flavor****; Intense notes of rich, dark chocolate, slight nuttiness, and a buttery smooth mouthfeel. Sugary with faint notes of marshmallow.
