I think today’s brew really did justice to this ultra floral beans from India 🇮🇳

Starbucks lie to your face and call that medium-dark monstrosity as “blonde” roast. I remember feeling cheated when I bought their “light” Indian estate beans and all of them were in some range of medium roasts

Flavor-wise there’s nothing citrusy in blonde roasts and even the acidity is clearly lacking. But at least their dark roasts are nutty and chocolatey and my general preference when going Starbucks
