Nothing rings in the fall season like the reemergence of the Pumpkin Spice Latte, but Starbucks Japan has just released three new fall-inspired beverages to serve as alternatives to the caffeinated treat.
The daring new flavors include the 'Grapy Grape and Tea Jelly Frappuccino,' as well as the 'Grapy Grape and Tea,' and a 'Hojicha Cream Frappuccino.' The grape variations feature a fruity pink colorway, that's said to be as delicious as it looks, helping the drinker to reminisce on the sweet scents of the summer. The Hojicha Cream drink maintains a more seasonal aesthetic, as its green tea leaves are toasted prior to brewing, resulting in a full flavor profile that contains warm and rich spices.
The perfectly Instagrammable beverages are currently only available in Japan, but the company hope for an eventual global expansion.
