Calling for all Starbucks lovers, we’ve got some great news for you!
Starbucks Malaysia just announced that they are releasing two new beverages which are inspired by cherry blossoms. If you didn’t know, the spring season has kicked off this time around and that means cherry blossoms are already blooming in their native countries. It’s only a matter of time until these pretty flowers are fully bloomed!
Therefore, in honour of the spring season, Starbucks’ new beverages for this season – Azuki Blossom Creme Frappuccino and Matcha Azuki Blossom Creme Frappuccino – will be available in stores from 26 March 2019 with prices starting from RM17.50 onwards.
FYI, Azuki is the Japanese word for red bean.
