Starbucks Hong Kong is exclusively launching three new drink options for the summer, honoring its experimental approach to create innovative beverages. The exclusive selection features a new iced matcha latte that has tofu pudding, a pure matcha latte drink, and a frozen mango hibiscus tea.
The first option highlights a whimsical approach by taking the popular Hong Kong tofu dessert and infusing it into a drink with new flavors. The green tea base is matched with the Chinese desert chilled with crushed ice. The second option celebrates Japanese matcha powder that is made rich with steamed milk. The frozen drink is paired with juicy pomegranate pearls blended with hibiscus tea, mango puree, and the signature Teavana citrus green tea.
