Starbucks to Release Smoked Butterscotch and Teavana Citrus Green Tea Latte
Starbucks is coming out with some unusual new flavored lattes, and they’re about as complicated and appetizing as you might expect from a Starbucks drink.The two upcoming flavors are Smoked Butterscotch Latte and Teavana Citrus Green Tea Latte, and they’ll be seeing a limited release around the United States and Canada starting Feb. 16.
While butterscotch flavored lattes are already part of the Starbucks secret menu, the official smoked butterscotch flavor will include espresso, steamed milk and smoked butterscotch sauce, with a smoky butterscotch sugar sprinkled on top.
And the citrus green tea flavor, built on the long established green tea latte, combines green tea with citrus mint syrup, along with steamed milk and notes of citrusy lemon.
They’re based on seasonal drinks that were available at the Starbucks Reserve Roastery and Tasting Room in Seattle, near their original store. Starbucks said the the response was overwhelmingly positive, and this prompted them to push a wider release into their several thousand stores across the nation.
It hasn’t been announced how long the two drinks will be available, so there may be a limited window to satisfy any butterscotch (or citrus-green tea) cravings.
