Description
Muted with oil, the tumbling beans become eerily silent. A master roaster watches, knowing that if he pushes them a second too long, theyÕll burst into flame. White smoke hangs down as the glistening beans turn ebony. This is Starbucks French Roast, and you canÕt roast it darker. Straightforward, light-bodied with low acidity, and immensely popular since 1971, the darkest roast is adored for its intense smokiness.
Starbucks sources 100% Arabica beans when crafting their coffee. Each coffee bean requires a unique balance of temperature and time to reach its individual peak of aroma, acidity, body and flavor. The French Roast is crafted with beans sourced from multiple regionsÑLatin America and Asia-Pacific. The blending of beans from varied regions results in unique flavor combinations.
