It’s an expertly handcrafted beverage, a daily ritual, the final step in an incredible, global, coffee-production story connecting you to farmers, agronomists, roasters, buyers, engineers, Green Apron baristas and more. Starbucks was founded on a love for high-quality coffee. Coffee is our heart. We invite you to learn about our story - the coffee fields to your stores, the many hands that nurture the coffee along the way, the incredible journey of a little bean that ends in your cup.
