Two Seasonal Beverages Inspired by Japanese Ingredients

“Matcha & Sakura Warabi Mochi Frappuccino®”
A delightful blend of green and pink hues, the “Matcha & Sakura Warabi Mochi Frappuccino®” offers an elegant, wagashi-like (traditional Japanese confectionery) experience.
This seasonal Frappuccino® is based on Starbucks’ classic “Matcha Cream Frappuccino®” but enhanced with sakura-scented warabi mochi, creating a delicate and fragrant seasonal treat.
The vibrant green body represents fresh sakura leaves, made by blending rich matcha powder with milk for a deep, complex flavor. The bottom layer consists of soft, pastel pink warabi mochi, adding a chewy texture reminiscent of Japanese sweets.
The topping features whipped cream with a hint of strawberry and sakura, finished with a sprinkle of bright, fragrant strawberry and raspberry powder.
The contrast between green and pink evokes the image of cherry blossoms transitioning into fresh leaves, capturing the ever-changing beauty of sakura.
“Hojicha & Classic Tea Latte with Sakura Warabi Mochi”
Starbucks’ new staple tea latte gets a springtime makeover with the “Hojicha & Classic Tea Latte with Sakura Warabi Mochi,” combining rich Japanese flavors.
This drink is a variation of the popular “Hojicha & Classic Tea Latte,” which gained popularity after its reintroduction in summer 2024. It now features the same sakura warabi mochi found in the “Matcha & Sakura Warabi Mochi Frappuccino®.”
The base combines aromatic roasted hojicha with black tea, balanced with smooth white chocolate syrup and rich fresh cream for a blend of sweetness and depth. The addition of sakura warabi mochi enhances the drink’s complexity, creating a harmonious fusion of hojicha, cherry blossom, and mochi flavors.
The creamy texture and subtle saltiness of the sakura mochi complement the tea’s deep flavors, offering a fresh and unique taste with every sip.
Perfect for tea lovers, this limited-time beverage brings a touch of spring to your Starbucks experience!
