This blend features beans from Sumatra in Indonesia, Sidama in Ethiopia and the Antigua region of Guatemala, roasted to create a cup that is delicately sweet and full of depth.

With notes of candied pecan, sage and dried fig, it's an elegant and flavorful coffee that pairs beautifully with the season's gatherings.
Starbucks® Christmas Blend is one of the most anticipated seasonal coffee blends. Introduced in 1984, when Starbucks only sold whole bean coffee, tea and spices, Christmas Blend quickly became a customer favorite. It showcases Starbucks artistry in roasting and blending with an expert combination of perfectly aged beans from Sumatra with dark-roasted coffees from Asia/Pacific, Guatemala and Colombia.
Starbucks® Holiday Blend combines bright Latin American beans with rich Sumatran coffee, roasted to bring out an elegant complexity of flavor.
