Starbucks launches new spring menu with Lavender-infused beverages

Starbucks launched a new spring menu earlier this month with two new drinks - "the Iced Lavender Oatmilk Latte and Iced Lavender Cream Oatmilk Matcha." Packed with the floral notes of Lavender, the new beverages have joined the chain's menu for a limited time and are available at stores in the United States and Canada since March 7.

Introducing the new drinks through a press release on March 7, Patrick Penny, Beverage Developer for Starbucks, commented,

“Lavender is the perfect flavor to transition us from the winter season into spring. Its soft sweetness, light floral notes, and beautiful color ignite feelings of rejuvenation and awakening associated with the change of seasons.”

Priced at $7.45, the Iced Lavender Cream Oatmilk Matcha is made with the chain's creamy smooth matcha, ice, and real Oatmilk. The aesthetically pleasing beverage comes with toppings of lavender cream cold foam and is served chilled to offer subtly sweet notes of lavender in every sip.

The Iced Lavender Oatmilk Latte also goes for $7.45 and is made with the chain's Blonde Espresso, ice, real Oatmilk, and the floral infusion of lavender. Unlike its counterpart, the Iced Lavender Oatmilk Latte is available in hot and cold variants.
