Starbucks Morning Joe Ground Coffee: This big, bold, dark-roast blend is stout and refined with notes of baking chocolate and dried fruit. It’s a full-bodied and sweet cup. Morning Joe is crafted with beans sourced from multiple regions—Latin America and Asia-Pacific. The blending of beans from varied regions results in unique flavor combinations. We source 100% arabica beans when crafting our coffee. Each coffee bean requires a unique balance of temperature and time to reach its individual peak of aroma, acidity, body and flavor. More than a drink, a cup of Starbucks coffee is part of your coffee ritual. It's the start to a new day, or a reward at the end of a long one. It's a lazy weekend morning, or a reason to share a moment with friends. Whatever your moment, savor it. The Story of Morning Joe: Created to celebrate the opening of our first store in Chicago, this bold blend combines the helf of beans from the Asia/Pacific region with coffees from Latina America, plus a bit of roasty sweetness from our dark Italian Roast. Known outside our cafes as Morning Joe, this is a serious cup of coffee – full bodied and complex with hints of baking chocolate, dried fruit and caramel.
