Why the Iced Caramelised Banana Matcha Latte Is Getting Attention
Among all the new drinks, the Iced Caramelised Banana Matcha Latte is attracting the most attention.
While banana and matcha may sound like an unusual combination, Starbucks says the pairing creates a balanced flavor experience. The caramelised banana adds a rich, sweet, toffee-like taste, while the matcha provides a fresh, earthy flavor that keeps the drink from becoming overly sweet.
The result is a creamy and refreshing summer beverage that offers something different from traditional coffee-based drinks.
Coffee Lovers Have New Options Too
The new coffee drinks use Starbucks Blonde Espresso Roast, known for its smooth and lighter flavor profile.
The Iced Caramelised Banana Latte delivers a dessert-inspired coffee experience, while the Iced Caramelised Banana Oat Shaken Espresso offers a brighter and fruitier taste. The caramelised banana sauce blends with the espresso to create a sweet summer coffee flavor without overpowering the coffee notes.
