As the temperatures start to rise, Starbucks is kicking off the spring season with a delightful array of beverages and treats. The coffee chain is set to launch its newest creation, the Iced Cherry Chai, alongside the return of popular lavender-infused drinks. The Iced Cherry Chai, available starting from March 4, is a unique blend of black tea infused with cinnamon, clove, and other spices, mixed with milk, ice, and topped with cherry cream cold foam and a cherry crunch topping. This marks Starbucks’ first-ever springtime chai offering, adding a fruity twist to the classic chai flavour.
People who have had the opportunity to taste the new Iced Cherry Chai have praised the warm spices paired with the fruity notes of the foam and crunch. The combination offers a refreshing and satisfying beverage to welcome the arrival of spring. Additionally, Starbucks is bringing back three lavender-based drinks – the Iced Lavender Cream Oatmilk Matcha, Iced Lavender Oatmilk Latte, and Lavender Crème Frappuccino. These beverages, known for their subtle floral hints, have been favourites among customers and are making a comeback to celebrate the season.
In addition to the new beverages, Starbucks is expanding its food menu with the introduction of the Jalapeño Chicken Pocket. This savoury delight features diced chicken, charred poblanos, green jalapeños, three-chile-pepper cheese, and jalapeño cream cheese, all tucked in a toasted chile lavash flatbread. To sweeten the deal, customers ordering select breakfast and lunch items will receive a complimentary packet of Truff Original or Jalapeño Lime Hot Sauce for a limited time.
For those visiting Starbucks Reserve Roasteries in Chicago, New York City, and Seattle, exclusive menu items await. Specialty drinks like the Lavender Matcha Malt, Iced Ube Coconut Latte, and Sakura Float offer a unique and premium experience. On the food side, options like the Twice Baked Pistachio Rose Cornetto, Blueberry Lavender Donut, and Butterfly Pea Swirl Cake are sure to tantalize taste buds. Additionally, Starbucks is proud to introduce the Sunsera Blend, a smooth and bright blonde roast coffee, touted as the “smoothest, brightest, and most versatile” offering yet.
As part of the seasonal menu changes, Starbucks is bidding farewell to certain less popular drinks to make way for new and exciting offerings. The decision follows a strategic move to streamline the menu, as CEO Brian Niccol revealed plans for a 30% reduction in both beverages and food items during an earnings call. The discontinued drinks include favourites like Iced Matcha Lemonade, Espresso Frappuccino, and Royal English Breakfast Latte, among others.
In conclusion, Starbucks is inviting customers to spring into the new season with a refreshing lineup of beverages and food options. Whether you’re a fan of traditional chai with a twist, lavender-infused drinks, or savoury delights like the Jalapeño Chicken Pocket, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Don’t miss out on the chance to indulge in these limited-time treats and exclusive offerings at Starbucks locations nationwide and at select Reserve Roasteries.
