Coffee Review: Starbucks Colombia Nariño Supremo

Colombia Narino coffee review

As I enter my local coffee shop, I get an instant whiff of the fresh coffee beans brewing. While standing in line, I begin to hear soft voices having a conversation in the corner. The Starbucks near me has just opened for the day and two familiar faces are praising their decision to grab a cup of Starbucks Colombia Nariño Supremo. Just as I approach the counter, a smiling face greets me. “Would you like to try an espresso made with our Colombia Nariño Supremo coffee”, the smiling face asks ( check is working at Starbucks a good job). The, once popular, single-origin coffee had made its way back onto the menus of select stores and today was the perfect opportunity to give it a try.

I take my cup to an isolated table near a large window just out of sight of the gathering morning commuters and immediately notice the rich aroma, which is unexpected considering my normal affection for coffees made with a medium roast . A smooth taste is accompanied by a hint of nut, and there is a sweet harshness as the aftertaste begins to dominate. Dark roasted coffee beans can sometimes produce a harsh taste. You may have heard coffee enthusiasts suggest dark roasted coffee beans for espressos alone, but Starbucks Colombia Nariño Supremo has a balanced flavor. Acidity is slight and enhanced the smooth quality of the coffee. Even more, the taste of walnuts gives the coffee a richness without being overbearing.

This allowed researchers to isolate the flavoring characteristics associated with each source of newly discovered coffee beans, expanding the Starbucks menu.
