Frappuccinos
Autumn is around the corner in Japan when chestnut flavored products start making an appearance.
You can’t get this new treat in Starbucks’ home country or the land of Frappuccino plenty, but we just tried it for ourselves.
Starbucks gives us a delicious reminder that sakura sweets are different from cherry ones.
Robust flavours of fruit and flowers steal the limelight in this limited-edition seasonal beverage.
Real extract from the trees gives you a sense of what it’s like to drink the cherry blossoms.
The coffeehouse shows it knows a thing or two (or five) about teas too with its newest roasted green tea dessert drinks.
