Starbucks Guatemala Casi Cielo coffee

Starbucks Guatemala Casi Cielo is a seasonal single-origin whole bean coffee. The brand, which was founded in 1971 in Seattle's Pike Place Market, has grown into a global coffee powerhouse. This specific blend is sourced from the Antigua region of Guatemala, known for its high-altitude volcanic soil, and is typically roasted and packaged in Starbucks' large-scale roasting facilities located across the United States and Europe for global distribution.

While Starbucks Corporation remains the owner of the Starbucks brand and its retail cafes, the 'Global Coffee Alliance' formed in 2018 granted Nestlé the permanent rights to market, sell, and distribute Starbucks consumer packaged goods (CPG) and foodservice products (excluding ready-to-drink beverages) globally. This means that while Starbucks maintains the brand's identity, the coffee bags found in grocery stores are managed through Nestlé's extensive supply chain and distribution network.
