Since Starbucks has only one, as far as I’m aware, certified fair trade coffee, Cafe Estima Blend, I knew there would be many reviews online. Surprisingly, most were very favorable and almost all referenced how smooth it was.
Here’s the Starbucks product description
Fair Trade Café Estima Blend™ by Starbucks Coffee Velvety smooth and balanced with a roasty-sweet flavor this blend of coffees is a product of the relationships formed between Starbucks and the farmers who grew them. Starbucks is committed to paying fair prices to help give farming families a better life and ensure coffee farms are protected for the future.
Well, the last part almost brought me to tears, but I suppose, maybe even they are starting to get it.
The package suggests its a bold blend, but I would suggest its more medium than bold. It doesn’t have (or has only a slight) burnt taste (Starbucks trait) and the online reviewers are dead on though, it is very smooth!
Certainly a good choice to try if you are a Starbucks fan!
