howard July 26, 2010 at 11:29 am: ‘Starbucks Melody’ mentioned these 2 among others as
being Organic at the s-bucks stores.
i’ve tried both recently.

1 – … Organic Shade Grown Mexico – Starbucks – This is a single-origin coffee from the Chiapas region of Mexico.
2 – …Organic French Roast – Seattle’s Best Coffee – This coffee is a core coffee in the Seattle’s Best whole bean coffee menu. As with any “French roast” coffee the majority of the flavor comes from the roast profile and not the bean itself.

of the two, Melody, i prefer the Mexican. It seems to have
a more distinct character and taste.
there are those in my office who think the SB French Organic
is the meow-best-est though i found it a bit toasty for me
as a daily beverag
