Starbucks introduces a new and unique beverage to its Japanese menu, the Matcha & Crushed Pistachio Milk Tea Latte, available exclusively at its Tea & Cafe branches. This innovative creation combines the fragrant flavors of matcha and almonds with the rich, nutty taste of pistachios, making it a must-try for matcha enthusiasts and adventure-seeking coffee lovers alike.
Exclusive Availability
According to SoraNews 24, the Matcha & Crushed Pistachio Milk Tea Latte can be found at only 12 locations across Japan, specifically in the prefectures of Tokyo, Osaka, Saitama, Fukuoka, Toyama, Kyoto, and Hyogo. This limited distribution makes the beverage a rare find, offering a unique tasting experience for those who manage to get their hands on it.
A Unique Flavor Experience
Building on the cold matcha latte, a popular choice for the summer season, this year's addition elevates the traditional drink with a twist. A press release noted that the latte blends powdered green tea with a special pistachio and cashew nut 'milk,' enriched with a splash of white mocha syrup for a touch of sweetness. The drink's presentation is visually appealing, presented in two distinct layers, with crunchy pieces of pistachio and almonds at the bottom, creating a multi-dimensional flavor profile to be enjoyed with each sip.
Perfect for Early Summer
Starbucks highlights that the Matcha & Crushed Pistachio Milk Tea Latte is an ideal refreshment for the early summer days, designed to introduce customers to the alluring charms of matcha. Priced at 687 yen (about US$4.49) for takeout or 700 yen for dine-in, it's available in a tall size only. The new beverage will be offered from April 17 to July 2 or while supplies last, encouraging fans to visit Japan's Tea & Cafe branches for this limited-time offer.
Starbucks' latest concoction, the Matcha & Crushed Pistachio Milk Tea Latte, promises a unique and delightful tasting experience. It merges the beloved flavors of matcha with the unexpected twist of nuts. It's another reason for Starbucks aficionados to explore Japan's Tea & Cafe locations this summer.
