As we’re nearing another Christmas season we see more and more Xmas-labelled products leading us into the festive mood. Last week I stopped by local Starbucks to try the new seasonal brews blessed by Santa. The one that got my attention was the Espresso Roast, or dark roast in Christmas apparel. If you like coffee with a rich taste but without sour undertones, this one’s for you. If, however, you prefer lemon hints in your coffee similar to Starbucks daily brews like Pike or House Blend, the Blond Roast is a better option. From my experience of a coffeeholic, dark roasts are quite rare on Starbucks menu so if you happen to see Espresso Roast and just want a cup of coffee why not spend the same money on something tasty and more unique?
