Starbucks Brings Back Guatemala Casi Cielo Coffee

Returning for its 10th season at Starbucks is Guatemala Casi Cielo coffee, meaning “almost heaven,” described as a rich and elegant coffee with smooth, balancing lemony acidity and hints of dark cocoa.

The coffees that make up Guatemala Casi Cielo were selected from the Antigua region of Guatemala because they deliver the finest the region has to offer, according to Starbucks.

The Antigua Valley is one of the most renowned areas in the world for production of high-quality coffee. At altitudes above 1,525 meters, coffee trees produce dense beans with a remarkable complexity. Floral aromas, lemony flourishes and deep dark cocoa notes combine to create a smooth, versatile brew that pairs with the entire meal, from savory herb dishes to rich chocolate desserts, caramel, apples and artisanal cheeses.

The coffee is ideal for espresso, coffee press or automatic brewer, and is available for a limited time in whole bean, K-Cup packs and Verismo pods at participating Starbucks retail stores and at Starbucksstore.com.
