The said launch was held at the newest Starbucks branch in Eugenio Drive, Quezon City. Starbucks introduces newest tea experiences for the press, media and Starbucks lovers. Just like what they have done with your coffee experience, Starbucks Teavana is tea reimagined.
Fueled by innovation, the new individually handcrafted
beverages are the result of an in-depth, creative exploration of flavor,
culinary trends and premium ingredients by Starbucks industry-leading beverage
innovation team, with the goal of bringing something new and unexpected to
customers. These ingredients come to life as skilled baristas craft each
beverage by hand and unleash a sophisticated, delicious flavor profile.
Beginning today, Starbucks Philippines is offering three new Starbucks Teavana Handcrafted Beverages:
Iced Shaken Hibiscus Tea with
Pomegranate Pearls
This refreshing beverage combines Starbucks® Teavana™ hibiscus tea and
bursting pearls of real pomegranate juice for a tart kick of flavor.
Iced Shaken Black Tea with Ruby
Grapefruit and Honey

tea experience with a creative twist that is delicious iced with bites of
pomelo fruit, grapefruit and honey for a touch of added sweetness.
Matcha & Espresso Fusion
Our fine
Matcha powder layered with milk and Starbucks signature Espresso Roast creates
a beautiful layered beverage and is an inventive combination of coffee and tea,
to be enjoyed hot or iced.
With Starbucks Teavana, Starbucks also draws on
