Eight weeks ago Starbucks began serving one featured bold selection each week-- one featured bold drip coffee for eight weeks. You get a sticker each week when you visit and after the eight weeks you can redeem those stickers for one free pound of bold whole coffee beans.
After eight weeks and many cups of coffee later, I've enjoyed the variety and complexities that each new week provided. Many new favorites I would have never tried had it not been for the promotion and even a few that I don't know if I'll ever try again.
Anyone else out there try the eight week challange?I'd really be interested in knowing which where your favorites or least favorite.
March 9: Yukon Blend
March 15: Italian Roast
March 22: East African Blend
March 29: Komodo Dragon Blend
April 5: Cafe Verona
April 12: Cafe Estima Blend
April 19: Gold Coast Blend
April 26: Sumatra
My favorites of the eight weeks were Yukon, Italian Roast, Verona, and the pleasant surprise of the challenge... Gold Coast Blend. It's not really a surprise that two of my favorites were coffees that I had purchased and brewed at home in the past. I guess I'm a creature of habit and familiar flavors that I return to time and time again.
