Microblend No. 21 Coffee

Candied citrus notes enrobed in dark chocolate.

Starbucks Reserve™ Microblend No. 21, named for nature’s golden ratio, was developed first and foremost as an espresso. But much to our delight, it not only stood up to other brew methods—it brought something new and dynamic to each of them. Latin American beans give the blend its rich, chocolaty base—a flavor we’ve come to know and love over the years. And by contrasting that character with a wildly complex East African coffee, we’ve landed on a blend at once familiar and vibrant. Pulled as an espresso shot, the density of the Latin American beans mixes beautifully with the candied citrus notes of the East African coffee. Perfect as a doppio, it pairs handsomely with steamed milk in your latte. Frankly, we love this blend unconditionally, a harmoniously balanced composition, good for all occasions.
