Gazebo Blend® is back and this year celebrates its 20th anniversary at Starbucks.  This coffee blend is a Starbucks tradition.  Each summer it makes its annual debut to celebrate coffees of Africa.  These East Africa coffees are perfectly blended for summer refreshment.  To highlight the great summer pairing of this coffee, this year’s Gazebo Blend has gotten a name change and some snappy new packaging.  Gazebo Summer Blend™ is a refreshing, medium-bodied blend of East African coffees with crisp, clean acidity and fruity, floral flavors.  The coffee is featured in a package that showcases its refreshing side, and encourages customers to enjoy it over ice.  Aaaah! 

How will you enjoy Gazebo Summer Blend™ this year?  Let us know what food you pair it with or your coffee occasion.  Summer BBQ or brunch?  Share your pairing ideas with us.

I love it with the iced lemon loaf cake.  Don't have too often but that's my pairing with Gazebo.

It's definitely a nice coffee, iced, from the Clover with some classic syrup and a splash of milk. Though I thought for sure I had read that Gazebo was launched in 1991, which would make this its 19th year, and not 20th. I am also a HUGE fan of iced (Red)EastAfrican Blend - That's amazing iced too.

I'll be using my treat receipts for a grande iced Gazebo or iced (Red) at my local Starbucks. Thank you!

I'm alternating this now as my morning coffee....reminds me of the reasons I used to love getting Bella Vista Costa Rican in the spring...kind of crisp and refreshing.  I have my 2nd cup (NOTHING ever with my thank-you-God-first cup, of any coffee in the morning) with my fave Go Lean (regular one) cereal and, luckily, right now, blueberries;)  

It does say first released in '91....depends on if you count that as the start of its first yr., or as #1???  to say 20th or not.....I'm guessing?

I would also like to add that every yr I think it is released a little later in the summer than alot of us would like.  It's already well into summer, it seems, here....by the time they bring it out.
