It pushes the boundaries of the combination as the pork-flavored drink joins the menu for the [Lunar New Year](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unforgettable-taste-for-new-beginnings). The palette fuses rich espresso tastes with a sauce that is developed with inspiration from Dongpo pork -- this is a dish that dates back to the 11th-century poet. It is topped with steamed milk and a drizzle of the aforementioned sauce then finished off with a pork slice on a skewer. The Lucky Savory Latte is exclusively available at the Starbucks Reserve locations and is a part of the gourmet offerings by the locations.
