Malawi Sable Farms with nsima inspired waffles

Malawi sable farms

Peaberry. What is a peaberry? Normally, two beans grow inside a single coffee cherry but occasionally the cherry only produces one bean, or seed, inside the fruit.  The round-shaped bean that forms when one of the two flat-sided beans in the coffee cherry fails to grow is called a peaberry. Dense and uniform in size, they roast more evenly. You’ve heard the saying good things come in small packages, right? Though small in size, the peaberry’s internal development gives it an intense and concentrated flavor….

Happy Birthday Pike Place Roast

April 8, 2013 by jocelyn 1 Comment

On April 8th 2008, Pike Place Roast was introduced! Ever since then, this coffee has been our every day brew from open to close.

Here in Seattle, there is a Special Reserve Pike Place that is only sold in two stores, the original 1912 Pike Place store, and around the corner at 1st and Pike. This blend was created in 2003 to commemorate the first Starbucks store. Inspired by our rich history, this is a blend of three Latin American beans; Costa Rica Bella Vista, Guatemala Antigua and Colombia Nariño Supremo. Pike Place Special Reserve is roasted a bit darker than usual, is incredibly smooth with a touch of roast intensity.

Every year I celebrate Pike Place day, and I always bring a bag of Pike Place Special Reserve to kick things off. This is Starbucks history in a cup.

One of my favorite things I made were these turkish coffee cookies. Coffee, chocolate and cardamom all rolled in to one delicious cookie!

Honey bees are attracted to the flowers on coffee trees. When they feed on the nectar of the coffee flowers, they ingest small amounts of caffeine. The effect of caffeine on bees is similar to the effect on humans. It gives them an energy boost, improving concentration and performance.
