Starbucks Tribute Blend returns to stores on March 17th! This popular coffee was created for the 40th Starbucks anniversary, in 2011. Aged Sumatra comes together with Sun-Dried Ethiopian coffees, Papua New Guinea, and Colombia coffee. Tribute Blend is wonderful whether you’re having it as a drip coffee or a shot of espresso! This year’s is amazing! I’m genuinely a fan of Tribute Blend, as you can see. Originally, Tribute Blend was going to be a one-time coffee offering in 2011 only, but due to strong customer demand, has returned every year since then.
Be on the look out for many more exciting things coming in the month of March. It’s going to be a big month. The annual shareholder’s meeting is the 18th. You can view the very first Starbucks annual report – the 1992 Starbucks shareholder report – is here.
Don’t forget that March is full of “Happy Monday” promotions, with great deals for MyStarbucksRewards members.
I’ll have lots more to write about soon!

Omg, you know im excited for this! Bought 8 lbs last year to last me till July. I drink 2-3 French Press coffees a day. People say I drink too much coffee but thats impossible! ;D Is this year’s blend more fruity/cherry or overall way tastier than last years?
This year’s blend paired much more nicely with chocolate covered cherries than last year’s blend. On that basis I would go with better tasting and a hint fruitier than last year’s entry.
Has always been one of my favorites! Hope this makes the mark; )
@DeniseR – Me too!
Always look forward to this blend, mainly because it contains Sumatra and Ethiopian coffees. Those are two of my favourites.
I have been a fan of Tribute since Day One.
I was one of the people that emailed and called Starbucks about bringing this blend back every year.
Starbucks even sent me a free 1/2 pound of Tribute to thank me.
I have never felt so strongly about a coffee.
Thank You Starbucks, keep the Tribute coming!
Best coffee ever!I stock up and buy around 10 lbs.every year.
Thanks for informing us. I think Tribute is my favourite roast to drink!
Thank you sooo very much for bringing this coffee back again! After the very first year in 2011 I was in love with the tribute blend, I wrote to the company and begged you to please bring it back again! Every year around this time I look forward to my favorite coffee coming back! Last year I bought too many pounds of it to count and I stocked up on K-cups! Thank you thank you thank you!
I love this coffee, too, my favorite. However, anyone else as annoyed as I am that Starbucks stores sell seasonal coffees in 8oz packages only!?! Of course you then pay more for a full pound. I wonder what marketing genius thought of this.
Tribute is $8.95 for 1/2 pound in Starbucks stores. $14.95 for 1 pound online. No available in pound packages in stores. This is not right. Must be the “strong customer demand”.
Where is the Tribute Via! Bring that back too!
I agree about the half pound packs – we like the Tribute Blend a lot, but the cost is prohibitive this way. I have bought much more other years when I could buy pounds in the store.
And yes, where is the Tribute Blend Via? We drink mostly brewed coffee, but use via when one person needs a cup. I usually buy a bunch of Christmas blend, then a bunch of Tribute Blend, and that’s will hopefully last until the Christmas blend is out again. They are SO much better than the ones normally available. We don’t all use K-cups – bring back the Tribute Blend via!
Please bring back the Tribute Via!!! We stocked up on them from the previous year but was devastated when you didn’t have the Vias this year.
I bought 8lbs of Tribute a few months ago and am now on my last bag! Does anyone know when or if it is coming out again???
My husband and I feel it is the best tasting coffee Starbucks ever put out!
Does anyone know the portions of the 4 coffees that make up tribute. I will mix them at home since SB has not had available for several years (or I missed it when it was available).
