Starbucks coffee in India

Coffee lovers in India should be eagerly awaiting the opening of the first Starbucks outlet. Mumbaikars are lucky as they get the first chance to taste the world's best coffee. Tata Global Beverages Limited has tied up with Starbucks.

Starbucks has nearly 18,000 outlets in as many as 60 countries. Our neighbor China has 700 Starbucks outlets. India is latest addition.

I have heard about Starbucks coffee a lot and even wrote a couple of blog posts and got paid for them. Personally, I wonder how the Madras coffee lovers would react to Starbucks coffee as I believe the standard of coffee in Tamilnadu is very high already.

However, I don't know whether local Government would allow global retail outlets to start their business.

May be I can go over to Bombay just to taste the Starbucks coffee as it would be much cheaper than going to China.

Initially, the coffee range include:
* Starbucks’ espresso-based beverages,
* Starbucks VIA Ready Brew
* Starbucks Reserves
* Tata Tazo tea
* Himalayan mineral water (products of TGBL).

I believe there are 14 different coffee varieties served at all Starbucks outlets.

Freeze dried aromatic organic coffee.

Actually I love cocoa, that too organic cocoa is preferred. For a refill pack, I searched for yummy and delicious organic cocoa. During the search, I stumbled on to aromatic coffee and tea that are also organic.

We say 'NO' to anything not organic in my house and we are 100% vegan. To quench my husband's thirst for aromatic organic coffee, I took my time to select the best and finally
ordered this instant organic coffee. Isn't it packed attractively? I fell for the packing itself at first sight.

The pack contained 6 jars and each jar can generate 60 cups of hmmm.... heavenly coffee. My husband can't wait for it to arrive.

This organically grown Highland coffee is said to be freeze dried. (What is that?)

I am supposed to use just one teaspoonful per cup of boiling water. That would be economical indeed. Of course I like coffee with milk but no sugar please. I have enough in my blood stream.
