Flavorful without being overly bold, Starbucks Blonde Veranda Blend Ground Coffee brews a delightfully gracious cup that's perfect for welcoming friends or greeting a new day. Forty years of coffee-roasting expertise inspired Starbucks' master roasters to perfect Starbucks Blonde roast--a lighter, gentler take on the Starbucks Roast. Roasting this blend of specially chosen Latin American beans for a shorter time allows the delicate nuances of soft cocoa and lightly toasted nuts to blossom.
