The Starbucks Japan Matcha & Crushed Pistachio Milk Tea Latte is making its way to participating locations in Japan for customers to try out on their next visit, but only for a limited time.
The drink is on the menu at the brand's Tea & Cafe locations and features a two-layer profile that maximizes flavor, sweetness and creaminess. The beverage features powdered green tea mixed with a plant-based milk made from pistachio and cashew nuts before being finished with a shot of white mocha syrup for a touch of sweetness. The result is a sweet, creamy and slightly complex flavor profile that's the perfect alternative for consumers to pick up in place of existing items on the menu.
The Starbucks Japan Matcha & Crushed Pistachio Milk Tea Latte is being offered from April 17 through July 2, 2024.
