Starbucks Anniversary Blend

You know that it's time to put something hot in your cup as the weather turns and the stores begin to look like fall. I know that everyone has special fall drinks, but fall is also the beginning of the special coffee releases at Starbucks. The Anniversary Blend kicks everything off and this year they were doing a promotion that if you bought the Anniversary Blend, then you got a 3 ounce espresso cup. Not only is the Anniversary Blend a new coffee, but it also gets a new package design as well. This year's coffee is spicy and crisp. I know that crisp isn't usually a word that describes coffee, but the spice stands out and the crispness comes like the chill in the air. It ends with a smooth buttery taste and doesn't have the lingering bitterness. If you want to make your coffee extra falley, than add a few dashes of pumpkin pie spice to it. It seems to really bring out the spice notes and makes it seem a bit like the Pumpkin Spice Latte. But don't get me wrong, this is definitely not a replacement for that fabulous drink! Be sure to try it before it's gone...as sure as the weather changes so does the coffee at Starbucks.
