New Starbucks Espresso

While their regular espresso is an intense burst of coffee taste, their blonde is a bit lighter and sweeter, perfect for those who shy away from too bold a flavor.

According to the Starbucks website, the Blonde "delivers a seriously smooth and subtly sweet taste in the cup. Our first-ever light-roasted espresso, it’s roasted in a way that showcases the coffee’s natural sweetness, with a smooth, creamy body and light notes of lemon and orange."

It's boasted as being smoother and lighter than the regular espresso, but don't let that fool you: it has the same amount of caffeine as their traditional shot! So you don't have to worry about sacrificing your caffeine fix in favor of giving this new option a try.
