Starbucks Peppermint Mocha Naturally Flavored Ground Coffee

My peppermint coffee addiction after Christmas led me to purchase this since it was not longer available in the stores. It is wonderful coffee! Price was higher than in store though causing this to be a one time purchase. Waiting patiently for Christmas time so I can stock up again.

Peppermint mocha, ground coffee. This is a very flavorful coffee. It is though a strong bold coffee. Great for a cold afternoon.

I love this flavor of coffee. My only regret is that it is only a seasonal flavor. I wish it was available year round.

Of course this doesn’t taste the same as the peppermint mocha latte you buy at Starbucks but that’s only because they add all of that extra high caloric sugar with the different syrups and whippedcream. You can still add that stuff yourself for a lot less than you pay at the store but this tastes pretty good without all of the “add-ins”.

I really like the initial hit of peppermint when you take your first sips, and the taste and smell of this coffee really bring comfort all year round. (I buy it and freeze it so that I can have a peppermint mocha fix any time of the year.)

I’m addicted to Starbucks Peppermint Mocha. To me, it’s not for holidays anymore! LOL! I want to drink this all year ‘round. I even add additional cocoa and peppermint extract into my mug. I love Starbucks’ brand because of the strong peppermint and mocha flavor AND because these flavors in the Starbucks brand are ALL NATURAL. Find a ground arabica peppermint mocha competitor and it’s either all artificial flavor or partly-artificial flavor. I won’t do artificial flavor anything. There is the 364 organic brand in Amazon but click on it and it’s violá…out of stock. I’ve also tried The Bean version but there was zero peppermint mocha flavor. And I’ve tried the Brooklyn Beans K-cup peppermint mocha version which has no mention of artificial flavor BUT again…I could barely taste any peppermint mocha. I’m dumbfounded as to why no other coffee makers don’t make an all-naturally flavored peppermint mocha that knocks your socks off with peppermint mocha flavor like the Starbucks brand!!!I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because the expiration date was missing in the expiration date field on the bag nor was it anywhere else on the bag. Makes me wonder. Hmmmm…I realize Starbucks makes this as a limited edition for the holidays and I assume any Starbucks Peppermint Mocha are close to expiration now anyway (4/23/25)…but nonetheless, for the expiration date to be absent is VERY suspect. Probably won’t buy from this particular vendor again unless I get a legitimate excuse as to why the exp date was missing (or removed).

I love this coffee and I look for in the holiday season! The primary problem is the high sugar content. So, I have it in moderation and enjoy every single cup that I have.

We look forward to this flavor every year. We try and stock up so we have enough to make it through out the year.
