All ‘Good’ at Starbucks

STARBUCKS Malaysia’s “Give Good” Holiday Cup features hand-drawn scenes of the good things to expect during the holiday season. From connecting over a cup of coffee to gifting a thoughtful present or just celebrating the season being with loved ones, Starbucks sets the scene and has the props – their stores, food and beverage offerings, as well as their range of merchandise that meets form and function.

With the latest additions to the Starbucks Malaysia Holiday merchandise range and the return of the Starbucks Holiday blend, customers can also “Give Good” this season.

CONNECTING OVER A CUPPA

The beloved Starbucks Holiday Blend roasted coffee beans returns time and again to Starbucks stores. It was first introduced in 1984.

Enjoyed across over 60 countries, the blend features rare aged Sumatran beans – hence its exclusivity, ideal for the holiday season. The blend delivers a distinct cedary, spicy note that is balanced by a sweet, rich and smooth flavour. Complemented with peppy Latin American and mellow Indonesian beans – the outcome offers coffee lovers with a cuppa filled with character.

For those who prefer a deeper, darker side of the signature blend, opt for it in Espresso Roast, piquant on cedary and herbal with an intense caramel sweetness; or go for the Blonde Roast if subtle, warm woodsy flavours and soft spicy notes are your “cup of coffee”.

Available in the VIA range – the VIA Holiday Blend offers coffee lovers the chance to enjoy the signature blend anytime, anywhere, even share the “good” with those around them. The whole beans are retailed at RM40 per pack while the VIA Holiday Blend is priced at RM55.

GIVE ‘GOOD’

The gift of a cup of good coffee is only one card away, for the unsure gift-giver. Choose from any of the Starbucks three available holiday themed Starbucks cards, top it up with a minimum of RM30 and hand it over to a loved one or a good friend. Inform recipients to register the card, as rewards await Starbucks cardholders.

This season, the Starbucks Planner 2018 is yours (while stocks last) with a purchase of 15 Grande handcrafted beverages, three of which should be promotional beverages, purchased via a Starbucks card or mobile app.

Starbucks celebrates “Giving Good” in all forms. Whether coffee, togetherness, creativity or wonder, Starbucks invites one and all to join in and spread this contagious joy and meaningful connection – the act of giving, at its outlets, spaces that foster co-creation.

Since 1971, the Starbucks Coffee Company has been committed to ethical sourcing. Starbucks Malaysia, owned, run and operated by Berjaya Starbucks Coffee Company Sdn Bhd, has been recognised with the HR Best Practices Gold Award, as well as Malaysia’s Best Employer and Best of the Best awards, among other accolades and citations.
