The Tribute blend of coffee that Starbucks releases each year is certainly one of our favorites. The blend incorporates Ethiopian, Sumatran, Colombian, and Papua New Guinea origin coffees and has distinct fruity, spicy, nutty, herbal, and smokey tastes and a smokey aroma. This blend definitely didn’t disappoint while we savored every last drop. Starbucks knocked this year’s out of the park.
