Thanksgiving Blend, Christmas Blend, and Blonde Coffee
Yum, Yum, What?
It's the busy season for coffee retailers! Starbucks has been industriously rolling out its holiday specials, including my personal favorite, the pumpkin spice latte. (A lot of people have tried making their own, using actual pumpkin puree. All I can say is, gross.)
I don't know if Thanksgiving Blend was a new thing this year, or if I had just never noticed it before. A friend gave me a pound as a gift, I probably would not have bought it for myself otherwise. I'm usually pretty skeptical of the special blends Starbucks offers. There have been too many that I disliked intensely. (I don't like the acidic fruity berry tone coffee flavors, and Gazebo blend is of course an atrocity.)
