Introducing Starbucks VIA™

admin — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 06:00:51 +0000

It is a proud day for Starbucks UK, as we are launching Starbucks VIA™ in all of our stores nationwide. We have spent years innovating and perfecting this coffee, so that you will never be without great coffee again.

Starbucks VIA™ is made with the highest-quality, ethically sourced 100% arabica beans (the same high quality as all our coffee). The finely-ground roasted coffee literally brews in your cup when you add hot water. It’s an easy way to enjoy the great taste of Starbucks coffee when you’re not near a Starbucks store.

We think Starbucks VIA™ tastes as good as our fresh filter coffee – don’t take our word for it though, come and join us in the Starbucks VIA™ Taste Challenge this weekend (12-15th March). We’ll be comparing our freshly filtered Colombia against Starbucks VIA™ Colombia – will you be able to tell the difference?

Coffee has its own sound?

Did you know that coffee has its own musical profile? According to Professor Charles Spence at the Oxford University Psychology Department, it is possible to match particular flavours to sounds of a specific pitch, tone and even instrument. The Professor’s experiments discovered that people tend to match rich, dark tastes and flavours, such as coffee, with low pitched, woodwind and brass instruments.

Using these recommendations, we’ve had a special piece of music composed, called VIA Alle Undici, which complements our new Starbucks VIA^TMItalian Roast. Why listen whilst you enjoy a nice, warm cup of Starbucks VIA™?

Getting ready for Starbucks VIA™

Jess S., coffee master and store manager, London

As a true Starbucks fan, I am always excited to try anything that Starbucks creates. I am thrilled that Starbucks UK will launch Starbucks VIA™ Ready Brew, an amazingly innovative coffee that is going to make having a quality cup as easy as tear, tip and tap! To have the ability to offer customers great coffee when they cannot see us in store is fantastic. The Taste Challenge weekend (12-15th March) is a great chance for customers to try VIA™ for themselves and talk to their barista about having great coffee, anywhere.

Having sampled VIA™ with over 150 partners (employees) in the last week, I am certain that it is going to be another great coffee in our lives. Each person had the chance to pick their favourite and many reflected on how it would create additional coffee moments in their day, and the days of their friends and family. My personal favourite is the Bold Italian Roast with its rich flavour with a hint of sweetness. I guarantee you can find a sachet of VIA™ in every bag I own. (For those times when I need a Starbucks fix on the go!)

Can’t wait to see you in stores for the Taste Challenge next weekend!

Caffè Latte

The original coffeehouse classic. A shot or two of 100% Fairtrade certified espresso in a small amount of steamed milk, with a deep layer of foam. Great to experiment with: add extra shots, some soy milk perhaps or even a flavoured syrup.

Caffè Americano

admin — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 15:06:11 +0000

What brings our 100% Fairtrade espresso to life more than a simple americano? Our dark roasted espresso coffee beans from Latin America and Asia / Pacific produce a rich and caramelly sweetness.

Every latte, cappuccino and americano coffee we hand-craft for you at Starbucks is made with 100% Fairtrade certified coffee. Learn more at Fairtrade.org.uk
