It happens millions of times each week - a customer receives a drink from a Starbucks barista - but each interaction is unique. It is just a moment in time - just one hand reaching over the counter to present a cup to another outstretched hand. But it is a connection. Starbucks make sure everything it does honours that connection from a commitment to the highest quality coffee in the world, to the way it engages with customers and communities to be in business responsibly. From the beginnings as a single store nearly forty years ago, in every place that it have been, and every place that we touch, Starbucks have tried to make it a little better than it found it. This is a coffee of one true love, and three names. Starbucks created this coffee for a Seattle restaurant in 1975, as Jak"es Blend. People loved it so much Starbucks begane scooping it in its stores as 80/120 Blend, after the recipe. The love was so strong it was finally make official, calling it Verona after the city that inspires so money.
