Created in 1996 in honor of our 25th anniversary, Starbucks® Anniversary Blend is a big, bold, full-bodied blend of Asia/Pacific coffees accented with rare aged Indonesian beans.
More about this coffee:
The aged coffees deepen the earthiness and spiciness of this blend. This coffee celebrates the spirit of Starbucks and our coffee expertise.
The most catchy thing about this blend is definitely the presentation. I would know how catchy it is, for I bought not only the drink, but also the mug and travelling tumbler.. never have I bought so many merchandises based on one single product, but who can resist the lure of a half naked siren doing her thing, just like in the folklore. I think Starbucks' up to something.
Good marketing stratedy, I'd have to give them that.
PHILOSOFFEE ASSESSMENT
The general mood created by the coffee's aroma is definitely relaxing and mallowed. On the first introduction to the palate, I could almost taste the sweetness, reminding me of cotton candy or roasted marshmallow. And being an aged Indonesian produce, the earthy fragrance is distinctive.
Aroma 7/10 soft and gentle, the sweetness resembles roasted marshmallow
Acidity 4.5/10 rather low
Body 8/10 strong and confident, the coffee saturates the palate rather easily
Flavour 7.8/10
Aftertaste 6.5/10 quite clean aftertaste
RECOMMENDATIONS
Sipping the coffee slowly will reveal the slightly briny sweetness, not unpleasant, something of a strong caramel. Definitely something to relax with.
