Today’s farmers are facing constant challenges to their long-term future. Starbucks currently operates nine farmer support centres and one satellite agronomy office in coffee-producing countries around the world, providing farmers with free access to the latest findings of Starbucks agronomists, including new varietals of disease-resistant trees and advanced soil management techniques. Its original Costa Rica agronomy office has relocated from an office building in downtown San José to the Hacienda Alsacia farm on the slopes of the Poas Volcano, the company’s global agronomy research and development center.

Crafted from Ethiopia, Indonesia, and Guatemala – a seasonal blend with rich coffee experience

Starbucks EMEA introduces a new blend that is a perfect fit for a feast: Autumn Blend. First offered in 2008, Starbucks® Autumn Blend is truly a celebration of the season with richly roasted and delicately sweet distinctive notes.

Starbucks® Autumn Blend was originally developed in collaboration with an award-winning Seattle chef in a food pairing exercise with a table filled with hearty traditional foods. The inspiration for this blend remains unchanged.

This unique blend showcases flavours from the world’s major coffee-growing regions, featuring beans from Sidama in Ethiopia, Sumatra in Indonesia and Guatemala’s Antigua region. Created by our master blenders the way a chef might prepare a Thanksgiving feast. The result is an elegant cup with notes of candied pecan, sage and dried-fig sweetness.

In addition to Starbucks Autumn® Blend, celebrate the enchanting season with <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/emea/stories/2022/hello-pumpkin-spice-season/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the return of the iconic PSL</a> including the brand new Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew.

Autumn Blend is available for a limited time at participating stores across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. To find your nearest store, <a href="http://www.starbucks.com/store-locator">click here</a>. Order in store, via the Starbucks App, or on Starbucks Delivers.

Introducing Starbucks® Autumn Blend

PSL season is back, and there’s a brand new pumpkin-flavoured innovation joining the ranks this year across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa: The Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew.

Crossing the Atlantic for the first time, the new iced innovation is perfect for coffee-lovers who crave a taste of PSL while seeking Starbucks signature coffee flavour. Combining Starbucks® Cold Brew, steeped in small batches for 20 hours, the smooth, rich coffee is infused with a touch of vanilla and topped with pumpkin cream foam, where vanilla cream is frothed and blended with pumpkin spice sauce to create layers of creamy texture and flavour. To finish, it’s dusted with pumpkin spice topping for an extra taste of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.

core/gallery

As well as the new addition, Starbucks original Pumpkin Spice Latte is of course back for another year – a combination of Starbucks® Espresso Roast, pumpkin spice flavoured sauce and steamed milk, topped with whipped cream and pumpkin pie spice topping.

As a testament to Starbucks customers’ growing love of our cold coffee, the Iced Salted Maple and Caramel Latte is making a comeback after its successful 2021 debut. Featuring a blend of milk, Starbucks Blonde® Espresso Roast and salted maple sauce, it’s served over ice and topped with a delicious caramel crunch topping.

Just Cluysenaer, Food and Beverage Director, leading Starbucks beverage development and innovation, said: “Each year, our customers eagerly anticipate the return of the PSL, knowing that it officially marks the change in season”.

“We’ve already made great advances in cold coffee innovation, and with a growing number of our customers drinking their coffee iced all year round, this year we are delighted to introduce a new iced, pumpkin beverage. Combining two of our customer’s favourite tastes, iconic pumpkin spice and our refreshing Cold Brew, each sip of Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew will deliver the familiar, creamy flavour of pumpkin spice followed by the uplifting coffee flavour of Starbucks® Cold Brew”.

Available while stocks last, from 1 September 2022, in select markets across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.&nbsp;Check your local Starbucks App or website for availability.

Hello, Pumpkin Spice Season

Looking for the perfect escape with the best coffee spot? From a vibrant store within touching distance of a historic cathedral to Starbucks first all-female run store in the Middle East, here are the most unique stores to visit in EMEA this summer that offer the ultimate wanderlust for coffee lovers.

In the south of the Iberian Peninsula, you will find the city of Cordoba – known for its unique Moorish architecture. Starbucks opened its second store in Cordoba, located in front of the Mezquita Cathedral – one of Spain’s major historic monuments and tourist attractions, as well as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The interior of the store is reminiscent of the traditional architecture of the city. You will also find a beautiful wall mural of the iconic Starbucks Siren, created by a local graffiti artist called Sake Leneka.

Bloemfontein, South Africa

Mimosa Mall in Bloemfontein is now home to the first store in the capital state region of South Africa, the nation’s seventh-largest city. Visitors to the landmark store in Bloem (as it is more affectionately known by locals) can expect comfort and efficiency as they discover the Starbucks warm welcome and connect with green apron partners (employees). The new store’s design and third place serves as a home away from home, including exotic woods, warm whites, and fresh greenery.&nbsp;

Coast Road, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Located in the Eastern Province of the Kingdom, this is the first-ever all-female-operated Starbucks Drive-Thru store in Saudi Arabia. The trailblazing women behind the store are true coffee experts, ready to hand-craft your perfect beverage on the go. This store forms part of Starbucks KSA’s ongoing commitment to creating more work opportunities for Saudi women in line with the Kingdom’s 2030 vision.

Taking another spin of the globe you’ll reach the first Starbucks store in Tyrol in the city centre of Innsbruck, west of Austria. An iconic and beautiful store, it sits in the centre of town, close to the “Golden Roof”, a famous gold balcony from the 1500s considered the landmark of Innsbruck.

Now heading towards the Mediterranean, Erbusco in the beautiful northern Lombardia region is home to the first-ever Drive-Thru in Italy. Here you will find a sustainable-friendly store that sources 100% of its energy from certified renewable sources and it also embraces Italian culture in both the design and food offering.

Home to Renaissance art and architecture, sticking with Italy, head to this stunning store located within a shopping mall on the outskirts of Florence, the first Starbucks to open in picturesque Tuscany. Make sure you stop by for an espresso or treat yourself to a Frappuccino blended beverage.

Next to Istiklal Avenue in the heart of Istanbul and you’ll find this unique store complete from floor to ceiling with historic architecture and innovative finishes. To complete the bespoke&nbsp;Starbucks Experience, the store serves a range of traditional Turkish coffee alongside our handcrafted iconic Starbucks beverages – all made with the world’s highest quality of Arabica.

Prague Castle, Czech Republic

Live out your own fairytale romance at one of the largest ancient castles in the world. You can step back in time at Prague Castle while enjoying a handcrafted Starbucks beverage overlooking the beautiful panorama of the city, which some say offers the best views of Prague.

Boulevard des Capucines, Paris, France

Located near the beautiful Opéra Garnier in the heart of Paris, the Starbucks along the Boulevard des Capucines is housed in a structure that dates back more than three centuries. You’ll be mesmerised by the dramatic 19th-century ceiling murals and admire the elegant chandeliers while sipping a handcrafted beverage in one of the most enviable locations in Paris.

Bluewaters Reserve Store, Dubai, UAE

Situated at the heart of Dubai’s newest island, Bluewaters Reserve Bar marks Starbucks 1000th store in the Middle East. It sits within the bustling entertainment hub at the base of Ain Dubai, the world’s largest observation wheel. You can enjoy a Starbucks beverage and admire the hues of blue and green design that draws inspiration from the meeting of the land and sea, the rich tones of the Persian Gulf and our very own Siren.

Best Starbucks stores to visit in EMEA

The crown jewel of Starbucks EMEA, situated in the heart of Milan, where the art and science of coffee collide with the rich heritage of Italian coffee culture, and no trip to Italy's second biggest city is complete without a visit: the Starbucks Reserve Roastery Milano. The largest Starbucks across Europe, the Middle East and Africa and flagship store for the region.

Here are eleven things you can expect:

The Milan Roastery is a hop, skip and jump from the iconic Duomo di Milano, Italy's largest church that took nearly six centuries to complete.

Head to Piazza Cordusio and the historic Poste building, which first opened at the turn-of-the twentieth century. This beautiful building became home to the Milan Roastery in 2018.

Before stepping inside the 25,000-square-foot space, look to your left where you will be greeted by a full-size statue of the Starbucks Siren, hewn from marble.

Once inside, grab a map and you’ll surely be in need of your first fix of coffee, so head right to the main bar where classic espresso beverages sit alongside a range of innovative brewing formats like the Siphon and Pour Over.

You can explore, learn, and taste rare and exotic high-quality Arabica coffees, responsibly sourced from up to 30 origins around the world. Just speak to one of the knowledgeable, skilled, and friendly partners (employees) who will be able to take you on a journey from bean to cup.

Take your favourite Starbucks Reserve coffee home with you by visiting the Scoop Bar, where you can purchase specially-packaged, freshly-roasted coffee beans from the Roastery.

Next, you'll be ready for a bite to eat, freshly baked breads, Italian pastries, and other specialties by iconic Milanese baker Rocco Princi are served fresh daily.

Make sure you pick up a reusable, a must-have accessory for the everyday and perfect memento of your trip. Take it with you and fill it up when you grab your next coffee to-go. You will find an extensive range of merchandise exclusively available in Milan.

It's now time for the main event, unprecedented visibility to all aspects of our roasting process, with a 360-degree walk-around view of the manufacturing site.

The centrepiece is the 6.5-meter-high bronze cask. If you are in luck, the cask will dramatically unfold like a blooming flower, allowing a rare glimpse inside of the de-gassing chamber – a natural part of the roasting process.

Keep your ears peeled for the distinctive sound of the bright green clacker board, the sound synonymous with transport arriving, letters flip to announce the roast arriving that day.

After a day of coffee wonder and amazement, what better way to see out the day than Aperitivo – carefully crafted coffee cocktails paired with small delicacies – upstairs and the Arriviamo bar.

Named for our heritage and the Siren that symbolises Starbucks, every aspect of this coffee’s journey has been shaped by women - from sourcing, roasting and blending to the design on the bag. The juicy, citrusy, and chocolaty blend combines coffee from East Africa and Latin America, two regions where we work every day to elevate women’s leadership and responsible farming practices.

Women have always been the backbone of many coffee communities around the world, bringing strength, leadership, and purpose to the industry.
