August’s reserve subscription is Honduras La Campa. This is only the second time that I have seen a coffee from Honduras, the first being Honduras Premier.
The terrain in Honduras is rugged and precipitous, so getting ripe cherries has been a challenge. I am extremely delighted by this cup, unexpectedly fruity and complex with notes of plum and caramel.
This is the second to last reserve subscription coffee that will be available, as the online store is closing in October. I will miss my exclusive coffee every month, but I know Starbucks will come up with something new and exciting to continue to delight us and expand our coffee journey. The final coffee will be Colombia la Casiana, which you can still get (until September 3rd) here….
Friday’s are one of my favorite days. Not only for the obvious reason, but that is the day that my

Every once in a while, a conversation will come up about “What Starbucks thing do you miss the most” The list is long, but toffee almond bars (and valencia!!) are always number one on my list. So I decided to make my own, and pair it with the Paradeisi Blend from the Roastery.
Colombia Café Mujeres was the Starbucks Reserve subscription for the month of June, and I had a heck of a time trying to get this coffee to my house!
Nicaragua Maracaturra is the first reserve subscription for 2016! What an epic way to kick off the year! This coffee has sweet herbal aromas, with notes of peach, apricot and honey. This is the second time Starbucks has offered this coffee, the first being in 2012.
