Tropical Ready-to-Sip Lattes

Starbucks Joyful Mango Earl Grey Tea Latte is at 7-Eleven in Japan

The Starbucks Joyful Mango Earl Grey Tea Latte is the brand's latest addition to its chilled cup range of refreshments that allow consumers to enjoy a wide range of refreshment options without having to head to their nearest cafe.

The drink was created in collaboration with Suntory in Japan and is arriving at 7-Eleven locations for the summer season as a decidedly fruit-forward, flavorful beverage to enjoy. The drink is crafted with a blend of Earl Grey tea alongside mango juice that work well together as a juicy, tropical and light refreshment to enjoy in the heat.

The Starbucks Joyful Mango Earl Grey Tea Latte is a limited time offering that's also vibrantly branded in order to catch the attention of shoppers this season.
