This is the second summer that we are all still on lockdown. It may not be that easy to go around but Starbucks has not forgotten us. They have still come up with a cool (pun intended) Starbucks summer line-up. When the heat is on, literally and figuratively, Starbucks has our back. Let’s look at what they have for us.

Beverages

Starbucks is introducing two new iced Teavana beverages – made with premium full-leaf teas. Two fruity blends are paired with Teavana Zen Clouds Oolong tea.

The Sunshine Pineapple Oolong has real golden pineapple chunks, pineapple sauce, and a honey cold foam for a really refreshing drink.

Posted on April 10, 2019 by jane

These past days, I’ve been “dying” from the heat. So it’s a comfort to know that I can cool off at Starbucks with the latest frappuccinos (there are 4!) and a new selection of food items.

The summer beverages and food items, as well as other summer Starbucks merchandise including two new cards and a coffee blend, were introduced in a fun, island carnival event called the Siren’s Island. Set within the Music Hall of SM’s Mall of Asia, Siren’s Island treated bloggers and the public to the carnival feel.

Experience Sakura spring time at Starbucks!

Posted on March 5, 2019 by jane

It’s springtime!

I know….we are in tropical Philippines. There is no spring. But in many other countries with four seasons, the ground is suddenly coming out of its wintry sleep as plants and trees start to come alive. What a great time it would be in Japan as spring brings with it the sight of cherry trees all abloom with cherry blossoms.

Starbucks embraces the changing of the seasons with Sakura merchandise, beverages, a special card, and a special spring coffee blend.

Welcome the New Year with these Starbucks Year of the Pig goodies and new Teavana beverages

Posted on January 9, 2019January 9, 2019 by jane

February 5, 2019 will be Chinese New Year — the Year of the (Earth) Pig. To usher it in with abundance and prosperity, Starbucks Philippines has come up with Year of the Pig merchandise and an accompanying Year of the Pig Starbucks card.

I love the look of The Year of the Pig mug. It helps that the dominant background color is a vibrant red. A cute pig face with a prominent snout is embossed on the front. The handle is a stylized version of a pig tail and you realize, as you turn the mug, that the handle gives you a back view of the pig.

Enjoy Christmas 2016 with Starbucks holiday food and beverage items

Posted on November 5, 2016November 5, 2016 by jane

It’s my favorite time of the year again — Christmas time! Starbucks holiday food and beverage items are here once more to put us in that Christmas spirit as early as now. Going by the Christmas theme: “Crafted by Hand and Heart“, Starbucks’ food and beverage choices indeed celebrate the treasure of creating by hand and from the heart.

Let’s start with the holiday beverages! There’s a new variant this year, making it three (3) holiday beverages in all.

HOLIDAY BEVERAGES (from November 2, 2016 to January 8, 2017)

Santa Hat Dark Mocha Frappuccino

This is the NEW holiday beverage – Looking like Santa’s hat, this frappe is made from dark mocha topped with classic and strawberry whipped cream, strawberry drizzle and a dollop of snowy white whipped cream on top. I love the strawberry flavor so sipping this one was a delight and a strong contender against my holiday favorite — the next beverage I’ll talk about.

The Santa Hat Dark Mocha is available in hot, iced and blended variants. Tall – PhP 170; Grande PhP 185; Venti– PhP 200.
