Starbucks French Roast Blend
You know how some people are addicted to everything Japanese – food, clothes, car racing, etc. When it comes to gorgeous food, we think about Italy or countries in Asia. The same can be said about people who are fanatics to anything French-related.
Well, today’s review isn’t really something that came from France itself, but it’s somewhat reminiscent of something French – its coffee. I’m talking about the Starbucks French Roast.
As the Starbucks site explains it, the beans used for the French Roast is exposed to extreme temperature to give it a more intense, smoky flavor. Starbucks claims to use only the highest quality beans for this specific roast because no other beans would turn out the same way when roasted longer.
Now if I’m in the mood for something out of the ordinary, I go for the French Roast variant. It may be what some people will call dull-flavored coffee, but it’s a welcome break that I take every once in a while.
Because the French Roast is a rather dull variant, I don’t really sense bitterness in it. At least not compared to other beans that have been subjected to high heat. But don’t get me wrong, it still has a wonderful taste that I crave for every so often.
I think taking the French Roast as a break from the usual heavier blends I buy makes me appreciate the flavors of the drinks I usually order. But that’s just me.
I recommend it for people who like the caffeine perks but aren’t really into strong tasting coffees. As blunt-flavored as it may seem, the Starbucks French Roast is still something I’d recommend my friends to try out.
What I’d like to know now is if you like Starbucks French Roast or not. I know not everybody is into this variant’s flavor, but I’d like to hear your opinion about it.
