Facts About Starbucks


Since 1997, the musical partners (employees) of the Starbucks Chorus haveraised more than $350,000 for local charities, performing coffee-inspired twists on holiday tunes such as “I’m Dreaming of a Tall Latte” and “Walking in a Coffee Wonderland.” 




Since 1985, Christmas Blend has been part of Starbucks holiday tradition. Its magic comes from rare Sumatran beans that have been aged three to five years.


Starbucks is named after the first mate inHerman Melville's Moby Dick. Our logo is also inspired by the sea – featuring a twin-tailed siren from Greek mythology.


Starbucks Porto Chino (Bangkok, Thailand): We love a good Starbucks drive-through, and this may just rival the urban container Starbucks drive-throughs in the U.S. The first drive-through Starbucks in Thailand (and the first Starbucks in Asia to receive a gold LEED certification for its environmentally friendly practices), the Porto Chino drive-through takes a modernist approach to the traditional Starbucks store. At the end of 2012, the number of Starbucks planned for Thailand numbered at 154 -- but this just may be the coolest one there.  


Starbucks Cineleisure Orchard (Singapore): This gorgeous Starbucks is located in a mall -- would you believe it? The newly opened Starbucks location has all of the decor you'd expect from a Starbucks and we can't get enough of it. Bonus? It's open 24 hours a day.  


"Starboxer," USS Boxer (California): Cruise ship Starbucks are so yesterday. Introducing the newest floating Starbucks aboard the USS Boxer, a navy warship, called the "Starboxer." It's a fully functioning coffee shop with trained baristas and the Starbucks signature drinks, but all earnings from the Starbucks location go to the Boxer's Morale, Welfare, and Recreation Fund. (Of course, Starbucks coffee has been served on navy ships since 2011, The Huffington Post points out, aboard the USS Carl Vinson.) 





 Evolution Fresh™ Juice Bottled Beverages

When it comes to juice, freshly squeezed and cold-pressed fruits and vegetables can provide delicious flavor and nutrition in every sip. But like picking an orange from the highest branch, attaining freshness like this is not easy.
Evolution Fresh is one of the few major juiceries left in the industry that still peels, squeezes, and presses its own raw fruits and vegetables. After cold pressing and squeezing the fruits and vegetables, an innovative technology called high pressure processing (HPP) retains more of the flavors, vitamins and nutrients of raw fruits and vegetables without the use of heat. Through this, Evolution Fresh offers accessibility and convenience of fresh‐picked, nutritious and delicious juices.
