As a small token of our appreciation, I stopped by Starbucks this morning to pick up a mocha and gift card for our wonderful administrative professional, Mary, as today is Administrative Professional Day.
While there, I grabbed a cup of the Cafe Estima blend, or at least that's what I think it was. I did not have my glasses on this morning, so who knows what I'm really reviewing. Anyway, whatever I had, and I will assume it is Cafe Estima, was delicious. Very smooth, not bitter at all and full of subtle citrus and floral notes. I think I prefer it to their Pike Place roast.
Also, Starbucks in case you read my pathetically small blog, please keep the Via Tribute Blend available! It is far and away the best Via offering.
Bean rating for Cafe Estima: 4.5 out of 5
Get out today and buy a cup for your administrative professional as a means of your appreciation of their hard work and efforts.

Starbucks tribute blend
Claimed by Starbucks to be the culmination of "40 years of stories, discoveries and relationships". Not sure what that means because they never ask my opinion about what coffee they should serve. Anyway, I bought some of the Tribute Blend Via packs. I'd describe this coffee as somewhat spicy undertones. I did not detect any cherry undertones, which the box claims. Overall, a decent blend and one of the better options for the Via route. Bean rating: 4 out of 5
