Celebrated with MAMI Bombay, the exclusive event marked the arrival of Starbucks’ mellow Blonde Roast across India — now available at no extra customisation cost
Starbucks India stirred up an evening of flavour, finesse, and creativity on 10 July, inviting coffee enthusiasts to “Take a Blonde Turn” with the launch of its globally popular Blonde Espresso Roast, now officially available in all Starbucks stores across India. Known for its smooth, mellow body and citrusy brightness, the Blonde Roast is Starbucks’ lightest espresso blend — ideal for those who enjoy a more delicate coffee profile.
To mark the occasion, Starbucks partnered with MAMI Bombay to curate an exclusive, culture-forward evening that celebrated not just coffee, but craftsmanship and creativity. The event featured the unveiling of a limited-edition Blonde Roast Tiramisu, specially crafted by Italian chef and founder Enrico, offering guests a unique dessert that captured the essence of the new espresso in a culinary reinterpretation.
Though the tiramisu was created only for the night, the experience highlighted Starbucks’ continued push towards coffee innovation and personalisation, showing how the Blonde Roast can transcend beverages to become an inspirational flavour canvas.
Available at no extra charge for customisation, the Blonde Espresso Roast can now be enjoyed across the brand’s entire range of espresso-based beverages in India — from flat whites and lattes to cold brews and more.
The launch reinforces Starbucks India’s vision to offer choice and elevate personalisation for its customers, inviting them to explore lighter, nuanced espresso profiles tailored to their individual tastes.
So whether you’re a long-time coffee aficionado or new to espresso, it’s time to take a Blonde turn — your coffee, your way.
