Espresso Roast is the basis for all espresso beverages (lattes, cappuccinos, macchiatos etc.) served by Starbucks. This special blend is the core ingredient of countless beverages sold under the Starbucks brand worldwide. It is one of our top-selling whole bean coffees and harks back to the tradition of Italian coffee houses. Espresso Roast now carries the Fairtrade label, known in The Netherlands under the name Max Havelaar. The beans for this coffee come from Guatemala, Costa Rica and Peru. The plantations in these countries are the first to reap the benefits of the extended collaboration. Further producers will also be involved in the collaboration in due course.
