Starbucks Japan launches matcha cherry blossom Frappuccino for sakura season.

Starbucks is dropping some cherry blossom magic with their special release, starting with the Sakura Roasted Green Tea Latte and the stunning Matcha and Sakura Warabi Mochi Frappuccino. As the sakura trees are about to bloom around March 21 in Tokyo, this pink-and-green delight brings together matcha, sakura flavor, and jiggly warabi mochi pieces. Top that with whipped cream and a drizzle of sakura-strawberry sauce, and you’ve got a flavor explosion that’s fruity, floral, and green all at once.

But hold up, there’s more! The Hojicha & Classic Tea Latte with Cherry Blossom Warabi Mochi joins the fiesta, showcasing cherry blossom freshness in a milk-tea pink. This latte blends black tea and roasted hojicha with white chocolate syrup and fresh cream for a sweet touch, while those little pieces of sakura-flavored warabi mochi bring the excitement. Both drinks hit the menu from February 28 to March 11, priced at 690 yen for the Frappuccino and between 609-750 yen for the latte. Don't sleep on this!
