Starbucks Honeycomb Crunch Frappuccino, New Food Items, Starbucks Cards, and Promotion for July – Sept 2015

It has been a busy rainy season. Not a day goes by without a drizzle or a shower in the afternoon which makes the day gloomy. I’ve found a way to inject some sunshine into my day, even if the weather suddenly become gloomy: the third round of new Frappuccino® Blended Beverages! These are going to be available starting on July 28, 2015.

Let me start with the ORANGE HONEYCOMB CRUNCH CREAM FRAPPUCCINO® BLENDED BEVERAGE (Tall – ₱ 165, Grande ₱ 175, Venti– ₱ 185) which totally blew me away! I’ve never imagined orange in a cream-based Frappuccino. It is something I love because orange reminds me of sunshine and it’s energizing. This Frappuccino does the same to me as it is made with citrusy and fragrant orange sauce made with real orange bits then finished with whipped cream, crunchy honeycomb and a swirl of tangy orange drizzle.

While the HONEYCOMB CRUNCH MOCHA FRAPPUCCINO® BLENDED BEVERAGE (Tall – ₱ 165, Grande ₱ 175, Venti– ₱ 185) tastes like a decadent coffee-flavored cake! It is Mocha Frappuccino layered with golden crunchy honeycomb, whipped cream and chocolaty drizzle to create a multi-textured & well-balanced cool beverage treat.

Featured Coffees

STARBUCKS® KATI KATI BLEND (₱425)

Kati Kati (which is Swahili for “between”) blend displays a great example of the art of blending and roasting in action. The beans from East Africa produce extraordinary coffees that are great over ice – Kenya brings body and distinctive citrus forward flavors, whilst Ethiopia coffee softens the blend and adds more complexity in flavor and aroma. The roast is dark enough to bring the acidity, body and flavor into an invigorating balance between citrus and spice notes from Kenya and the subtle floral aromas and crisp acidity from Ethiopia.

STARBUCKS WILLOW BLEND™ (₱425)

The bright, crisp flavor and subtle complexity shine through beautifully to create a breezy, delicious and easy-to-drink cup.

STARBUCKS RESERVE® KENYA KARATINA AA (₱595)

This wonderful coffee takes its name from both the town and the wet mill that processed the coffee for Starbucks. It is comprised of coffees representing the Barichu Farmers Cooperative. The farms are located in Nyeri, a region known for its high quality coffee and where the cherries mature slowly, which translates in the cup to produce complex flavors. Traditional fully washed coffees are sun-dried for 2-3 weeks to allow the flavors to intensify producing a bright citrusy acidity with savory umami notes that are complex and lingering. The flavors of the coffee can be enjoyed whether hot or iced.

This is available only in Starbucks Reserve® stores:

• Starbucks Tomas Morato, Quezon City
• Starbucks 8 Forbes Town, Bonifacio Global City
