The change of season invites us to enjoy the now—taking a pause, reconnecting with what matters and discovering new ways to enjoy coffee. Beginning August 25^th, Starbucks^® will welcome the season across Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) markets with the return of the beloved Pumpkin Spice family and Pecan Crunch beverages. Starbucks will also introduce two whole-bean coffees that showcase coffee artistry: Starbucks® Brasil Blend and Starbucks® 1971 Roast™ as well as limited-edition merchandise.

Hello Again, Pumpkin Spice

Pumpkin Spice beverages return to mark the beginning of a season many look forward to, bringing people together through flavors woven part of fall rituals and traditions. Made with Starbucks^® Signature Espresso, milk and the distinctive notes of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove, the beverages offer a known seasonal experience that many customers associate with this time of year.

Customers can enjoy the flavors of the season in several ways, including the Pumpkin Spice Latte, Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte, Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino® Blended Beverage, Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew Cold Foam and Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte.

More than beverages, the Pumpkin Spice family has become a seasonal ritual that brings people together year after year. It transforms any moment of connection—with others and with oneself—and reflects how a single beverage can become a shared tradition.

Feel the Crunch from the Very First Moment

Another highly anticipated return for those seeking a more indulgent experience is the Pecan Crunch family. Its familiar and comforting pecan profile combines the smooth character of Starbucks^® Blonde Espresso with browned butter, seasonal spices and a crunchy topping that adds texture to every sip. Whether enjoyed as a Pecan Crunch Latte or an Iced Pecan Crunch Latte, this seasonal beverage offers a different way to enjoy fall, bringing warmth, comfort and a satisfying crunch to everyday moments.

Two Coffees, Two Expressions of Starbucks Mastery

The season also introduces Starbucks^® Brasil Blend, made with high-quality Brazilian arabica coffee beans and featuring notes of nuts and chocolate, offering a smooth and approachable profile. Inspired by the tradition of the “cafezinho” and the moments that emerge around a cup, this coffee becomes a flavor that invites people to share it at any time.

 Also joining the seasonal lineup is Starbucks 1971 Roast™, a new dark roast inspired by Starbucks beginnings at Pike Place Market. Crafted with high-quality arabica coffees from Colombia, Sumatra and Brazil, the blend brings together bold, complex flavors with a rich body and a smooth, velvety finish. Developed over more than a year and through more than 40 recipe iterations, it features notes of toasted sugar and rich walnut, reflecting the care and precision behind Starbucks roasting craft.

From the selection of the beans to their preparation, both offerings recognize the work of the people and coffee-growing communities who make every cup possible, reinforcing Starbucks commitment to sharing high-quality coffee beans and contributing to a sustainable future.

Change Is in Your Cup

As with every season, consumers will be able to purchase limited-edition reusable cups and mugs to celebrate upcoming holidays, featuring designs that bring creativity and seasonal personality to enjoy favorite beverages while encouraging the use of reusable cups and mugs as part of a more sustainable routine.

Between a pause, a conversation and the next step in the day, Starbucks® once again brings visibility to the moments that connect us. Whether slowing down or moving forward, the season is an invitation to enjoy the now—finding meaning in everyday rituals and sharing them with others. With iconic flavors, new experiences and the care of the partners behind every preparation, the season arrives at Starbucks stores as an invitation to pause for a moment, enjoy what matters and share it with others.
