The Starbucks Peach Panna Cotta and Earl Grey Tea Frappuccino is the latest addition to the brand's menu in Japan where coffee enthusiasts will be able to enjoy a sweet yet energy-boosting refreshment.
The drink features a base of blended Earl Grey tea that's balanced with slight bitter notes for complexity and is cut with a creamy sweetness thanks to the panna cotta in the mix. The drink is finished with a peach fruit and jelly layer in the bottom that offers a final burst of sweetness.
The Starbucks Peach Panna Cotta and Earl Grey Tea Frappuccino is only available at a handful of locations in Japan where it's arriving alongside a few additional Early Grey drinks. This includes the Earl Grey Classic Tea Latte that's available hot or iced.
