The Gyokuro Matcha Frappuccino is crafted for anyone desiring a complex relaxation experience. It has a luxurious matcha paste with a velvety consistency, guaranteeing that each sip conveys the unique essence of premium tea. To elevate the sensory experience, the beverage is topped with subtly sweetened matcha whipped cream and matcha feuilletine, offering a delicate, crisp texture that contrasts elegantly with the blended foundation.

The Teavana Gyokuro Matcha Latte is a refined, toasty alternative designed for the discerning adult palate. This drink combines matcha powder and Gyokuro with creamy milk, topped with soft matcha whipped cream and crunchy feuilletine for added texture. The outcome is a nuanced and profound flavour profile that highlights the inherent astringency and authentic taste of Japanese tea.

The Gyokuro Matcha Frappuccino and Teavana Gyokuro Matcha Latte are offered for a limited duration in Starbucks locations in Japan.
