With New Year resolutions and ambitions still fresh, Starbucks is bringing its own hot start to 2013: the comeback of its espresso innovations the Double Mocha Machiatto and Vanilla Latte beverages which will give customers a bright new beginning to each day. Coffee lovers can also indulge their senses in the returning exclusive and remarkable rich coffee blend Guatemala Casi Cielo.

There’s no doubt that chocolate and coffee are flavours that are meant for each other. The Double Mocha Macchiato, a Starbucks original that mixes both flavours, is a rich white chocolate blended beverage with freshly steamed milk and a topping of velvety foam, an intense hit of espresso roast, and a finish of dark chocolate drizzle.

Starbucks is also bringing back its signature Vanilla Latte, a best-selling classic. This drink features a lusciously rich, full bodied Starbucks espresso with sweet vanilla syrup, steamed milk, lightly topped with silky foam for the perfect finish.

Rana Shaheen, regional communications and CSR manager of Starbucks Coffee MENA, said: “Our returning Double Mocha Machiatto, Vanilla Latte and Guatemala Casi Cielo blendare the perfect way to start the year fresh and ready to take on those 2013 resolutions. If you’re a fan of espresso based beverages, you will certainly enjoy these additions to our menu. As always, ensuring coffee excellence is of the utmost importance for Starbucks, and our resolution will be to continue enhancing the coffee experience for our loyal customers all year round.”

With the weather slightly getting cooler, it is the perfect time for Starbucks to reintroduce its masterpiece, the Guatemala Casi Cielo which combines four coffees from the Antigua Valley. The Guatemala Casi Cielo brew has a delightful floral aroma, lemony acidity, rich flavour and smooth body, finished with hints of dark cocoa. It is one of Starbucks’ most prized coffee blends, popular with customers and partners alike.

Relish the cooler weather but keep toasty with Starbucks’ winter beverages and blend which are now available in all the Kuwait Starbucks stores.
