“It is my pleasure to be back in India to share my passion for coffee with all the coffee lovers. During my last trip to India to celebrate Tata Starbucks’ 1st anniversary, I had the privilege of launching the exquisite India Estates Blend, a winning concoction of the finest Arabica beans carefully selected from Tata Coffee’s estates spread across Coorg and Chickmagalur. This time around as Tata Starbucks approaches its 3rd Anniversary, I am extremely thrilled to introduce the celebrated Flat White beverage in the country” said Major Cohen.
The event also saw the winner of the first Starbucks India Coffee Championship, Saili Rane a partner from the Mumbai Domestic airport store and the 1st runner-up Rubeena Qureshi from the Bandra store sharing the platform with Major Cohen and conducting a coffee story session.
