"Matcha & Fruity Mascarpone Frappuccino" and "Matcha Fruity Blenz Tea Latte" will be released on December 26th at each Starbucks store (excluding some stores). The sale period is until February 14, 2018.

A new drink that combines the popular flavor "Matcha" with "unexpected ingredients". Not only matcha lovers, but also people who don't usually drink matcha flavors can enjoy a cup of "new taste", and the En-eating editorial department tried it first.

■ Every time you drink, the taste changes

Matcha & Fruity Mascarpone Frappuccino is a frappuccino that combines creamy mascarpone with the sweet fruit flavor that matches matcha as an accent. The price is 580 yen for tall size (excluding tax, the same applies below).


Notable is the green whipped cream ! Speaking of frappe, there is an image of pure white whipped cream, but the new work uses matcha whipped cream with a bittersweet flavor of matcha . Plenty of matcha shave chocolate for toppings.


At the same time as sucking it up, the refreshing muscat flavor pops in your mouth! Next, the creamy and mellow sweetness of mascarpone. Although it is rich, it is not stale and has a refreshing taste than it looks. Feel like you are drinking a sweet green smoothie with a mild finish that suppresses bitterness.


The amazing thing is from here. When you drink it with a straw while stirring slowly, the flavor of matcha is added to muscat and mascarpone, and the taste gradually changes. The bittersweetness of matcha, the mellow scent of muscat, and the sweetness of mascarpone blend together to create a wonderful gradation of taste . This is pretty good!


The occasional crisp texture is two types of raisins added to matcha frappuccino. Muscat raisins create a mellow sweetness, and sultana raisins create richness and richness, adding a sense of luxury like sweets. Matcha shave chocolate is irresistible.

■ From "mellow" to "refreshing"

Matcha Fruity Blenz Tea Latte (Hot) is a cup of tea with ingredients that enhance the taste of matcha. The price starts from 430 yen for short size.


A well-balanced addition of ingredients that match the sweetness, aroma, richness, and bitterness that are characteristic of matcha. White grapes and kabosu are combined for sweetness and aroma, almonds and pistachios are combined for richness, and yuzu peel and komatsuna are combined for bitterness.


The first impact is a mellow matcha flavor. Next, the tongue matcha shave chocolate melts gently on your tongue. The fluffy sweetness and bittersweetness are exquisite!



When swallowing, I strongly feel matcha, but after a while, the refreshing acidity and aroma of yuzu and kabosu gradually ...! Contrary to the "first fruit, later matcha" frappe, the finish is "first matcha, later fruit".


In 2018, a new Starbucks drink that will decorate the endless beauty. It is a taste that even people who are a little tired of their stomach can enjoy it relaxedly during the year-end and New Year holidays after eating a lot of delicious food. Be sure to check out the possibilities of new matcha!
