Much like fine wine, the aroma and flavour of different coffee varies depending on where it is grown and how dark the roast is.
Each coffee is selected for the defining qualities that distinguish its region of origin. Indeed, also like wine, coffee is tasted in a certain way to discover its aroma, flavour, acidity and body.
Coffee can also be paired with complementary foods to bring out particular taste notes. This careful selection process demonstrates Starbucks passion for buying and roasting the world's best coffee.

For example, coffee from Africa will typically display a sparkling citrus flavour whilst coffees from Sumatra have earthy herbal notes.
