This is my favorite blend and every year when it’s released I stock up. No sense drinking the swill they serve at the Daily Planet when my taste buds can dance and sing to a Canlis creation like Casi Cielo!

Yum I had my first cup of this for the season yesterday, it was wonderful to have it back!

They haven’t brewed this in a while. It’s been Verona recently.

I love to see Starbucks store partners abuzz with excitement about the return of a favorite coffee! I tried Casi Cielo once at Roy St and wasn’t that impressed by it, but maybe I’ll have it again in a Starbucks store if I see it available. My first impression was that the coffee seemed a little dull, not very acidic, lacking complexity, but sometimes I gradually grow to enjoy coffees I didn’t like before.

I love this coffee! It in my opinion is the best lighter roast coffee at Starbucks. One of my stores was brewing it today.

(Reply to Kelly and LatteRose) – Glad to hear you two liked Casi Cielo. It’s a seasonal favorite of mine.

This year I was more than a little disappointed to see that Starbucks made almost no fanfare over one their most popular coffees. The blogs at MyStarbucksIdea.Com have focused on skinny lattes and foods and somehow Casi Cielo got forgotten.

I feel like Starbucks should have had a blog post for their seasonal coffees, in a similar fashion to what I have done in this post.

So I tried the Cielo – very good! Another new favorite. Off to buy another bag or two as a gift.

I definately need to try this coffee now. I’m discovering as I try the different blends I favor the Guatamalan Beans.

@Camspi I was curious too so I looked at their menu online. Main courses at Canlis run $36 – $84. Don’t know what coffee costs. I wonder if they would let someone come in and just get a coffee at the bar? Oops, I guess it’s not a bar at Canlis, it’s a lounge.

@LatteRose I should have waited till morning! I was too eager to try it and ended up buzzed when I was ready for bed!

I realize that I have tried this coffee before. They have the (rare?) decaf version year round from the Clover at the Village Roadshow Gold Class Theater in Redmond.

A Clover at a theater? I asked them about it and they said it was a special favor from Howard who apparently likes the fancy movie place. Don’t blame him, it’s nice. Haven’t seen the decaf Cielo anywhere else.
