Begin your day the right way The Caffe Verona by Starbucks brings together a seductive blend of beans with a touch of Italian roast that gives it added depth and sweetness. It consists of 100% ground coffee beans with a dark cocoa texture that is more bold and full-bodied than other blends. Ever since it was founded in Seattle, Washington almost 50 years ago, Starbucks has become globally renowned for its high-quality ingredients and richly flavoured coffee, which is sold and enjoyed in over 30,000 locations worldwide. It is committed to 100 percent ethical sourcing of coffee in partnership with Conservation International.
