Shawn: When did they come up with the name of the blend? Before Starbucks was established in their area? A café in Gothenburg was called Starcup (with a green & black logotype), before Starbucks was established in the city. They got a letter from Starbucks' lawyers, but I don't think that they had to change the name.
