Ever since its debut in the Kingdom in 2000, Starbucks has been committed to serving and connecting with the local communities in Saudi. In line with Saudi Vision 2030, the company has been investing heavily in its partners (employees) and in new stores, including the Starbucks Reserve store opening in Jeddah on 4 May 2023. In January this year, the Saudi Ministry of Culture also recognised Starbucks as a key contributor to the success of the 2022 Year of Saudi Coffee. 

Nationalisation, empowerment and increased diversity of women in the workplace are at the heart of Starbucks regional recruitment plan. Through an active recruitment agenda, over half of Starbucks workforce is local talent and female, including its first <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/emea/stories/2022/best-stores-to-visit-in-emea/#:~:text=Coast%20Road%2C%20Kingdom%20of%20Saudi%20Arabia">all-female run Drive-Thru</a> in Saudi which opened in June 2022. This is an ongoing effort, working with the Saudi government to support the broader nationalisation agenda.

Andy Holmes, president, Starbucks Alshaya Group said: “We are proud to mark the opening of 400 Starbucks stores in the Kingdom, which would not have been possible without the hard work of our partners (employees) and the support of the local communities we proudly serve. Reaching this milestone is a testament to our unmatched coffee expertise, commitment to bringing bold new beverage innovations to Arab coffee lovers and evolving our dynamic store concepts to meet our customers’ needs where they are. We have big ambitions to continue our accelerated growth in the Middle East, and this will be driven primarily through our ongoing investment in the recruitment, development and empowerment of young national talent.”

Starbucks is committed to creating unique and inviting spaces for customers to connect and enjoy their favourite beverages and food through distinctive store design, featuring brighter colours, dynamic material palettes, modern artwork, and harmonious lighting. The store aesthetic is constantly evolving throughout the region, leading the way in store design and innovative new store concepts. 

The 400th store opening milestone was celebrated at an event in Starbucks Jeddah Park Reserve store on Monday 10 July. This is the first Starbucks Reserve store to open in Jeddah and the Western Province, joining an exclusive number of Reserve stores in the Kingdom, such as the iconic Riyadh Boulevard Starbucks. Reserve offers coffee connoisseurs a bespoke coffee craft experience, with baristas displaying their coffee craft and expertise through an array of coffee brewing methods, infusing coffee into surprising beverage creations with rare and extraordinary coffee beans.

Eighty Starbucks partners (employees) from Europe, the Middle East and Africa visited Rwanda in May, as part of the 2023 Origin Experience. The goal? To immerse in the story of coffee on the farms where it’s grown.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Similar Origin Experiences occurred earlier this year in Costa Rica, for North American partners, and Indonesia, for those in Asia Pacific. In total, 929 partners company-wide participated in Origin Experience in 2023. Since the program started in 2010, 3,344 partners have visited Origin.

The partners in Rwanda represented a variety of roles and perspectives within the company, from baristas to manufacturing to operations leaders, in both company-owned and licensed markets. They met farmers, agronomists, exporters and buyers; planted coffee seedlings and harvested coffee cherries; and saw how coffee is grown and processed.

See what they experienced, through this photo essay, and hear from partners about what they’re taking away.

The lessons begin at Dukundakawa, a farming cooperative where partners learn about the different stages of the coffee plant: how a seed sprouts into a “little soldier” and then a “butterfly” before it’s planted in the ground to become a tree that will bear fruit in 2-3 years.

They harvest cherries from trees that Origin Experience partners planted in 2019.

Later that day, at Abakundakawa, a different cooperative,&nbsp;they see how the coffee is washed, processed and graded in the traditional manner – pushed by paddles along narrow canals – and dried on long, raised beds that stripe the lush green hillsides of Rwanda, a country nicknamed “the land of a thousand hills.” The coffee grown in Rwanda will eventually be used in Starbucks blends worldwide – Siren’s Blend, Green Apron Blend and Cold Brew Blend – as well as in high-end Starbucks Reserve selections like Rwanda Sholi and Rwanda Hingakawa.&nbsp;

Smallholder, subsistence farmers in Rwanda don’t have enough money for all the fertilizer they need, and often, the only way to get it is by having a cow. Cows make manure, which provides the raw material for compost, which helps coffee farmers improve their production. In the village of Musasa, Origin participants meet Faustin, a farmer who Starbucks gifted with a cow 10 years ago. Since then, he’s increased his yield – from 1.5 kilograms of coffee per tree to 4 kilograms per tree – and he’s used the extra income to pay for his children’s schooling, make improvements to his house and reinvest in his farm. 

In communities like Faustin’s, tradition means gifting the first-born female calf to a neighbor in a public ceremony, and partners witness one such heartfelt exchange between families. “If I give you a cow, by default, you’re my friend forever,” says Arsene Mustafali Bin Uwihoreye, an agronomist at the Rwanda Starbucks Farmer Support Center who works with farmers in Musasa to improve yields. “It unites people.”&nbsp;&nbsp;

The next morning, partners visit RWACOF, the largest exporter of coffee in Rwanda and Starbucks biggest coffee supplier in the country. After the coffee is processed on the farms and the cooperatives, it’s brought here by truck to the RWACOF dry mill and warehouse to be hulled and sorted – both by hand and a buzzing assembly line of machines. The quality is re-inspected in a lab, where test batches are roasted and screened for taste and issues like Potato Taste Defect. Then it’s all bagged for delivery on container ships.

Partners also visit the Starbucks Rwanda Farmer Support Center to learn how the team helps coffee producers throughout east Africa grow and deliver the best product. 

And finally, they meet with representatives from Rwanda’s <a href="https://naeb.gov.rw/index.php?id=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">National Agricultural Export Development Board</a> for a formal presentation about the coffee industry.

Throughout the experience, Origin participants learn about how the <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/productions/hingakawa/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">coffee industry helped Rwanda recover</a> from a violent past. They spend one afternoon in contemplation at the Rwanda Genocide Memorial in Kigali, the capital city, that commemorates the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda when Hutu extremists killed an estimated 1 million people. The memorial sits atop mass graves where an estimated 250,000 people are buried. Many participants come out shaken. Later, they hear the testimonies of the Women of Ineza, the victims of sexual violence during the genocide, who formed a support group and sewing cooperative. For all the sad moments, there are uplifting ones as well. Each cooperative greets Origin participants with welcome dances and singing. One night, a dance troop delights the participants back at the hotel with a beautiful celebratory performance.

On the final day, Origin participants visit a small village in the Musenyi sector for a community service project with The Starbucks Foundation and one of the nonprofits it supports, <a href="https://rippleeffect.org/us/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ripple Effect</a>. The day’s work options – building a cow shed, planting vegetable gardens, plastering the exterior walls of houses, building bricks or constructing rainwater tanks – will help five women in this coffee-growing community, including four widows. The atmosphere is festive. Pop music blares from speakers on a big central field. Dozens of people from the community join the muddy, sweaty work. And afterwards, everyone dances in a big circle. Laurent Munyankusi, country director for Ripple Effect, tells the Starbucks participants, “For you to come here to Rwanda, it’s a big blessing. The only way to address the problems of this world is through partnership.”

Starbucks Origin Experience takes Starbucks partners (employees) from behind the bar or office desks and places them among&nbsp;the people that grow, harvest and produce the coffee.​

The aim of the experience: build a bridge between what Starbucks calls “the first 10 feet” – the coffee farms themselves – and&nbsp;the “last 10 feet,” where a customer orders and consumes their&nbsp;favourite&nbsp;coffee. Iced, hot or shaken – however the beverage&nbsp;is crafted – the coffee is&nbsp;<a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/press/2020/cafe-practices-starbucks-approach-to-ethically-sourcing-coffee/">ethically sourced&nbsp;</a>by farmers around the world.&nbsp;​

Vi presentiamo Oleato™, la storia della nuova linea di bevande al caffè Starbucks® emulsionate con olio extravergine d'oliva di alta qualità, al suo debutto presso la Starbucks Reserve® Roastery di Milano e gli store Starbucks in Italia.

Per Starbucks, l'Italia rappresenta da sempre un luogo speciale. Quattro decenni fa, lungo le vie lastricate di Milano, Howard Schultz è rimasto affascinato dai bar italiani. Quel viaggio lo ha spinto a introdurre in Starbucks, e in America, l'esperienza del caffè di quartiere, un'intuizione che ha portato l'azienda dagli appena 11 store ai ben 36.000 che ogni giorno servono bevande preparate al momento, in ogni parte del mondo.

Oggi, la storia si ripete. Schultz e Starbucks hanno di nuovo trovato ispirazione in Italia, ma questa volta nei soleggiati oliveti siciliani, con l'introduzione di una nuova linea di bevande, Oleato, costituita da caffè Starbucks emulsionato con olio extravergine d'oliva di alta qualità. Le nuove bevande verranno svelate al pubblico domani (22 febbraio 2023) presso la <a href="https://www.starbucksreserve.com/en-us/locations/milano">Starbucks Reserve Roastery di Milano</a> e negli store Starbucks italiani. Nei prossimi mesi Starbucks introdurrà le bevande in mercati selezionati di tutto il mondo, a partire dagli Stati Uniti, dalla California meridionale questa primavera. Entro la fine dell'anno le bevande saranno lanciate in Giappone, Medio Oriente e Regno Unito. Le cinque bevande Oleato servite presso la Roastery di Milano sono Oleato Caffè Latte, Oleato Iced Cortado, Oleato Golden Foam Cold Brew, Oleato Deconstructed e Oleato Golden Foam Espresso Martini. Gli store Starbucks in Italia offriranno Oleato Caffè Latte, Oleato Iced Shaken Espresso e Oleato Golden Foam Cold Brew.

Schultz, attualmente a Milano per il lancio di Oleato, ha sottolineato come ritenga di aver chiuso il cerchio in Starbucks grazie a due momenti salienti: uno all'inizio della carriera in Starbucks e l'altro verso il termine del suo mandato di amministratore delegato ad interim di Starbucks, che lo ha visto impegnato negli ultimi 10 mesi. 

"Nel 1983, ho compiuto il mio primo viaggio in Italia, dove ho potuto scoprire la straordinaria relazione che unisce gli italiani ai bar e, in particolare, al caffè espresso. Sono tornato negli Stati Uniti con un'idea, animato dalla passione di portare in Starbucks ciò che avevo sperimentato", spiega Schultz.

Durante un viaggio in Sicilia compiuto l'anno scorso, Schultz ha scoperto qualcosa di ugualmente dinamico e interessante. Dopo essere venuto a conoscenza di una locale usanza di assumere un cucchiaio di olio d'oliva ogni giorno, ha presto fatto sua quest'abitudine, assaporando un cucchiaio di olio extravergine d'oliva ogni giorno in aggiunta al caffè mattutino, e presto ha maturato l'idea di provarli assieme. È così che ha scoperto la deliziosa quanto sorprendente alchimia delle bevande al caffè Starbucks emulsionate con olio extravergine d'oliva.

"Sono rimasto assolutamente stupefatto dall'esclusivo sapore e dalla consistenza creati dall’emulsione di olio d'oliva extravergine con il caffè Starbucks", racconta Schultz. "Con bevande al caffè sia calde che fredde si è prodotto un sorprendente sapore cremoso e vellutato che esalta il caffè e permane a lungo sul palato."

'Un'esperienza sensoriale voluttuosa'

Successivamente, presso il laboratorio di sviluppo delle bevande ha iniziato a sperimentare l’emulsione dell'olio extravergine d'oliva con alcune delle sue bevande al caffè preferite, per creare un'esperienza che fosse completamente nuova.

"L’emulsione è davvero la chiave della ricettazione. Quando si emulsiona l’olio extravergine d'oliva montandolo o mescolandolo con una bevanda vegetale a base di avena, si viene a creare una consistenza voluttuosa simile al latte intero", chiarisce Dilger. Per trovare un caffè che si abbinasse perfettamente all'olio extravergine d'oliva ha provato un gran numero di miscele Arabica di alta qualità Starbucks, scegliendo due caffè espresso Starbucks. Per quanto riguarda la linea negli store Starbucks, Dilger ha riscontrato che l’emulsione con olio extravergine d'oliva Partanna si sposava perfettamente con Starbucks Blonde Espresso Roast, che presenta un sapore morbido e un gusto rotondo nella versione sia calda che con ghiaccio. Per le bevande delle Starbucks Reserve Roastery ha utilizzato l'espresso Starbucks Reserve, aggiungendo anche un Iced Cortado con un accenno di arancia. Venendo al nome, il team ha optato per Oleato, un gioco di parole che richiama il termine latino che sta per "oliva" e il termine italiano "oliato".

I clienti italiani saranno giustamente i primi ad assaporare le nuove bevande Oleato a partire da domattina, presso la Starbucks Reserve Roastery di Milano e gli store Starbucks italiani. Entro l'anno l'azienda prevede di offrire varianti regionali delle bevande su mercati selezionati in tutto il mondo, tra cui Giappone, Arabia Saudita, Emirati Arabi Uniti, Regno Unito e Stati Uniti.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Schultz ha affermato: "Sentirete le persone dire ‘Olio d'oliva nel caffè?!?!" Ma la prova sta nella tazza. In oltre 40 anni, non riesco a ricordare un momento in cui sia stato più entusiasta all'idea di dimostrare l'orgoglio, la qualità, la passione, l'eredità culturale e la maestria di cui Starbucks è capace".

L'unicità delle bevande Oleato™

Gli store Starbucks in Italia offriranno tre bevande Oleato:

Oleato Caffè Latte è semplice ed elegante, a base di Starbucks Blonde Espresso Roast e di olio extravergine d'oliva montato con una bevanda vegetale a base di avena, per creare un ricco caffè latte.

Oleato™ Iced Shaken Espresso

I mercati delle aziende agricole siciliane abbondano di mandorle, pistacchi, noci e castagne. Tutti prodotti che hanno ispirato l'aroma di frutta secca della bevanda Oleato Iced Shaken Espresso. La bevanda si realizza partendo con strati di Starbucks Blonde Roast Espresso, sciroppo di nocciole e bevanda vegetale a base di avena shakerati con olio extravergine d'oliva e ghiaccio.

Oleato™ Golden Foam Cold Brew

La schiuma fredda cremosa rappresenta dal 2018 il tocco finale preferito per le bevande fredde Starbucks, dal classico Salted Caramel al nuovo Pistachio Cream Cold Foam. La bevanda Oleato™ Golden Foam Cold Brew è decorata con uno strato di Golden Foam, unasetosa emulsione di olio extravergine d'oliva e crema fior di latte che ricade lentamente nella bevanda per creare una consistenza al contempo morbida e ricca.&nbsp;&nbsp;

La Starbucks Reserve Roastery di Milano servirà la linea di bevande Starbucks Oleato a base di squisito caffè Starbucks Reserve™: &nbsp;

Espresso Starbucks Reserve unito a un’emulsione di cremosa bevanda vegetale a base di avena e olio extravergine d'oliva per un caffè latte ricco e vellutato.

Espresso Starbucks Reserve, sciroppo Demerara, bitter all'arancia e bevanda all’avena emulsionata con olio extravergine d'oliva. Servito con ghiaccio e decorato con peel d'arancia.

Starbucks Reserve Cold Brew viene leggermente addolcito con sciroppo di vaniglia e guarnito da una schiuma fredda emulsionata con l’olio extravergine d'oliva, per regalare un aroma invitante unito a una sottile dolcezza.&nbsp;

Una vera e propria ode alla tradizione italiana che vede abbinare l'olio d'oliva a una spruzzata di limone. Questa bevanda nasce dall'unione dell'espresso Starbucks Reserve e l'olio extravergine d'oliva emulsionato con una schiuma fredda inebriante al frutto della passione.

Oleato™ Golden Foam Espresso Martini

Starbucks Reserve Espresso, vodka e sciroppo di bacche di vaniglia con Golden Foam (schiuma dorata) al fior di latte emulsionata con olio extra vergine di oliva.

Starbucks stores across the world create environments for Starbucks partners to connect with, engage and represent the communities they serve. And our new store in Camden, London is no exception – one of the city’s most vibrant areas, a hub of creativity and artistic talent, filled with buzzing street markets, unique fashion and live music.

From the moment it caught people’s eye, everything about it had to resonate with the community, so who else to help bring the store to life than talented <a href="https://www.instagram.com/davebainuk/">Dave Bain</a> a muralist from Bristol.&nbsp;

Known for his distinctive, colourful, idiosyncratic illustrations which feature expressive stylised characters, Dave Bain is inspired by screen-printing and risograph techniques, as well as colour combinations, jazz and electronic music and visual culture.

For this particular work, Dave drew from Camden’s musical heritage, punk and counter-culture characters, mixed with a newer influx of tourists and diverse visitors to inject into his mural.

Dave was inspired by the energy, liveliness, quirkiness, and irreplaceable charm of Camden, and tried to squeeze as much of this spirit onto the bricks in-between windows and on the narrow walls of this store.

His work aims to reflect the famous diversity and richness of the neighbourhood, exuding positivity and inclusivity so that everyone can perhaps see a bit of themselves in the mural.

See if you can spot the classic Camden punk figure, complete with embellished coffee leaf leather jacket, as well as the multiple musicians paying homage to Camden’s rich musical history, and of course, the green apron partner representing the store’s partners, the beating hearts of our store!

Located in Sheffield, England - a city steeped in hundreds of years of rich, industrial history, Carbrook Hall itself goes back over four centuries. 

So it's no surprise that the historic building, which now proudly stands as a Starbucks store, continues to bring history to life, enriched with Starbucks coffeehouse culture.

Maintaining all the building's original features, including plaster mouldings and wood panelling, the Grade II listed stone wing is all that is left of the building after it was demolished in the 19th century. But as well as the interiors highlighting the site's extensive past, there's a few other friendly reminders of the past also making themselves at home within Carbrook Hall's walls, with the store well-known by locals to be frequented by some unusual happenings.

From unexplained footsteps running up stairs to bags of coffee beans flying off the shelves, Starbucks invited professional ghost hunters, Lee and Linzi Steer, to visit the property to verify the ghostly vibes with specialist equipment.

Lee and Linzi set up their equipment around the building to test for spooky sensations, and after seeing an intriguing response from their detectors - particularly around a certain chair in the far corner which they believed to be a friendly woman, and the store's spectacular stone fireplace complete with intricate detailing which seemed to arouse some interest from spirits potentially keen to talk about the building's history - they dubbed the building "the UK's most haunted coffee shop".

“We sensed that the spirits were eager to talk to us. We even heard one say ‘the siege’, which is incredible knowing the Carbrook Hall was a meeting place during the siege of Sheffield Castle. 

Our specialist equipment was reacting quickly and with strength – the most we’ve seen in a while and in more than one room, including the wood panelled Oak Room where we often come to enjoy a Starbucks coffee. We would undoubtedly say this is the most haunted coffee shop in the UK.”

One of London, England’s most iconic landmarks, Battersea Power Station, will open its doors for the first time in almost 40 years on Friday, after a huge redevelopment project. With Starbucks taking pride of place in the next era of its history with our new store inside the distinctive building.

Battersea Power Station itself was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, one of the most prominent architects of the day (and also responsible for Britain’s red telephone boxes), with the Starbucks store taking inspiration from the Art Deco elements and industrial legacy of the building. The concept is intended as a modern and refined evolution of this idea, leaning on the industrial aesthetic which is visible through the raw shell of our unit.

Looking to the industrial elements within for inspiration, alongside the mechanical accents coffee remains at the core of the store design. We intentionally honed into our coffee legacy and the human connection which remains central to our brand with an illuminated, sweeping overhead canopy, a roasting curve feature that reflects our bean-to-cup journey and highlights the theatre of our coffee bar.

Putting focus on the equipment, romanticising the machinery and mechanical elements, the store, located proudly at the grand entrance of Turbine A is a showcase of Starbucks coffee story, steeped in history.
