The month of October in Japan will see the launch of two new "nectarine peach" Starbucks drinks that will be available for a limited amount of time.
The first of the drinks is in the form of Starbucks' well-known Frappuccino and is topped with Bavarian cream and strawberry sauce. The Nectarine Peach & Cream tea has an Earl Gray base that is infused with white peach and yellow peach pulp -- and is also topped with strawberry sauce. The Frappuccino will only be available for the month of October while the tea will be available until the end of November.
If it proves popular, the nectarine peach beverages by Starbucks could potentially be offered in markets outside of Japan.
