Starbucks Reserve

I was in Davao when the Starbucks Reserve in The Fort opened. You guess it right! I could have been there during the opening day, of course!!!

Exotic, Rare and Exquisite

Starbucks Reserve website: We spend a lot of time in origin countries searching for the finest coffees – ones with distinct flavors that enchant, amaze and captivate. But of the thousands we encounter, only a precious few are deemed exceptional enough to become Starbucks Reserve® coffees. These intriguing offerings are only available for limited times at select stores.

After getting back from Davao, of course, I wanted to catch up with these two people for juicy gossips and rantings, haha!

SoOoOoOooo what can I say? The coffee is raw, strong, earthy and exquisite! :)
I should try the other variants :)
The location is also perfect because it is not so crowded and it's in my neighborhood.
