Iced Coffee Blend
First launched in the United States in the summer of 2006, Iced Coffee Blend is a blend of Latin American and East African coffees. It was designed to feature the refreshing citrus notes and caramel flavors that make the perfect cup of iced brewed coffee. This coffee is great served hot, but Starbucks master roasters designed this blend of East African and Latin American coffees specifically to be great over ice.

It is approachable, refreshing and has a great taste, whether enjoyed straight, with milk and sugar, hot or over ice.

Curry Chicken Mango Wrap
The perfect complement to beverages such as an iced Americano or Iced Coffee Blend is the Curry Chicken Mango Wrap, a bright, summery combination of Asian and European taste profiles that creates a fresh, satisfying experience. The flavors of curried chicken, fresh mango and juicy caramelized onions, topped with an invigorating fusion mayonnaise spread delivering a blend of lime, ginger and herbs, all come together in a traditional white flour tortilla. This wrap is delicious served cold, making it the ideal summer snack.

Great Gifts for Music Lovers
For those who love the smooth sounds of Starbucks, two new CDs are now in store. Stax was the first name in soul during the genre's 1960s heyday. Home to some of the most vital singers, musicians and producers of the era, it put the vastly influential label on the map as the capital of soul music. Soulsville U.S.A – Stax Classics 1965 -1973 covers almost an entire decade of great recordings.

Also in store is Buddy Holly Opus: Not Fade Away. Buddy Holly was one of the most influential artists of the burgeoning rock 'n' roll genre. This is a collection of the songs that not only established Holly as a musician, but came to help define this genre as it began to grow. It includes such timeless classics as That'll Be The Day, Peggy Sue and Every as well as a dozen other great songs.
