Starbucks® celebrates summer with the new Ube family and refreshing seasonal sips
Raise your favorite Starbucks® beverage to celebrate summer with the launch of the Ube family and Protein beverages, as well as the return of Raspberry Pearls – offerings that fill the season with freshness, flavor, and moments to share.
Seattle, WA – Summer is in full swing and so is the desire to make the most of it. During those warm days when customers look to step away from their routines, Starbucks® becomes part of the occasion with new beverages and products that bring refreshing moments through unique flavors.
Starbucks is celebrating summer by introducing a new lineup of seasonal beverages and products designed to accompany the sunniest days with refreshing options, bold flavors, and moments of connection under its iconic green umbrellas.
Among the new launches are:
Ube Family: tropical sweetness in every sip
Inspired by ube, the root vegetable popular in Southeast Asia, the new Ube Family arrives to bring a tropical touch to summer through an unexpected and delicious combination. The creamy smoothness of ube blends with the light taste of coconut to create vibrant, colorful beverages full of personality.
The Ube Coconut Latte combines espresso with steamed milk blended with ube powder and coconut syrup, creating a warm and comforting beverage with a hint of vanilla-like sweetness. The Ube Coconut Frappuccino® blended beverage combines milk, coconut syrup and ice, topped with a vibrant ube cream cold foam and toasted coconut flakes for a smooth and indulgent experience. Its bold color and tropical flavor profile make this line one of the most eye-catching offerings of the season.
Protein beverages: a new way to level up your day
As more customers incorporate protein into their daily routines, Starbucks introduces a lineup of handcrafted protein beverages, all crafted with Protein-boosted milk* and designed to offer flavor, quality and functionality throughout the day. The selection includes the Protein Matcha, Iced Protein Matcha, Sugar Free Vanilla Protein Latte and Iced Sugar Free Vanilla Protein Latte.
In addition to the protein beverages, customers can also enjoy the Iced Vanilla Latte with Vanilla Protein Cold Foam ^, Iced Matcha with Vanilla Protein Cold Foam ^, and the Cold Brew with Mocha Protein Cold Foam ^.
*Crafted with Protein-boosted Milk, Starbucks Protein Lattes will deliver approximately 23 to 35 grams of protein per Grande beverage while maintaining the rich, bold flavor and smooth texture customers know and love.
^Protein cold foam adds about 15 grams of protein per grande to any cold beverage.
Raspberry Pearls return: refreshing fun for sunny days
Summer also comes alive with one of our customers’ favorite offerings: Raspberry Pearls. Bursting with color, freshness, and fun, these beverages combine raspberry, blueberry, and blackberry flavors with vibrant layers of color and flavor in options such as Iced Matcha with Raspberry Pearls, Strawberry Crème Frappuccino® with Raspberry Pearls blended beverage, Berry Pearls Refresher, Berry Pearls Lemonade Refresher, and Skies Pearls Drink. The result is a refreshing and joyful experience for the hottest days of the season, featuring tiny pearls that gently burst with every sip.
Coffees that accompany every summer ritual
From southern Colombia, where the Andes Mountains meet the Pacific Ocean, Starbucks® Single-Origin Colombia Nariño whole bean coffee returns. Grown in the volcanic terrain of the mountainous region that gives this coffee its name, it delivers a sophisticated flavor highlighted by notes of hazelnut and dusted cocoa in every cup. The combination of fertile volcanic soil and a microclimate shaped by alternating sunshine and rainfall creates a balanced profile that makes it the perfect companion for customers looking to discover new coffee nuances.
Additionally, inspired by the rich coffee heritage of Africa’s Great Rift Valley, Starbucks® Kati Kati Blend™ combines washed Kenyan and Ethiopian beans to create a vibrant and bright blend. Each cup reveals notes of grapefruit, red berries, and delicate honeysuckle florals, offering a refreshing experience ideal for those seeking more complex and fruit-forward flavors.
A collection designed to celebrate every day with pride
The summer will continue with the launch of a new collection of mugs and glasses inspired by some of the year’s most meaningful moments. Among the products designed for the season’s most important days is a collection inspired by Pride Month, created to recognize and celebrate diversity and inclusion.
During summer, any moment can become a reason to celebrate. That is why Starbucks® continues creating experiences that enrich every occasion through refreshing beverages, the finest quality coffee, and merchandise designed to keep connecting with people who proudly express themselves every day.
