Hot (and cold) this season

CHEERS to a season of new experiences with Starbucks Malaysia’s two new Frappuccino® Blended Beverage flavours, East African coffee and merchandise.
SIPS OF SUMMER
Inspired by classic summer treats, Starbucks recommends adventure seekers to “Sip Outside the Lines” with the Roasted Marshmallow S’mores Frappuccino® Blended Beverage and Key Lime Pie Frappuccino® Blended Beverage.
With its distinctive taste of roasted marshmallows sandwiched with chocolate between graham crackers, the Roasted Marshmallow S’mores Frappuccino® Blended Beverage will evoke happy memories of outdoor campfire nights with friends.
A classic American dessert in the form of a drink, the Key Lime Pie Frappuccino® Blended Beverage comes as the perfect balance offering just the right amounts of sweet, tangy and creamy, with a dose of delicious whipped cream and graham cracker crumble topping.
For those cool summer nights, have a cup of Starbucks Kati-Kati Blend. Swahili for “in between”, Kati-Kati is made from East African coffee beans which are known for producing extraordinary summer coffees. Experience the blend of citrusy Kenyan beans softened by the flavours and aromas of Ethiopian beans, both hot and cold. Kati-Kati is available in whole bean or origami.
SUMMER MUST-HAVES
Starbucks fans will also want to snap up the attractive range of new summer merchandise featuring tumblers and mugs evocative of sunset views on the beach.
With a clear glazed body and embossed art, theStarbucks White Mug with Sandals (12oz) features a mint green hand-painted handle and golden base, and can hold hot, cold and carbonated beverages.
The Starbucks Orange Sleeve Mug is made of ceramic and comes with geometric designs in gradient pink and orange. This 8oz mug comes with a pink plastic slider lid and orange silicone sleeve to ease one’s grip, especially for hot beverages.
Those with a penchant for cold drinks will go gaga over the Starbucks Water Bottles(17oz) that come in two silkscreen designs – palms and anchors. Both come with a twist-opening at the top, making it easier to add in ice and to clean.
Fashionistas will enjoy the design versatility of the water bottles, as it can be mixed and matched with other bottle designs of the same size.
With a quirky translucent whipped cream dome lid, the Starbucks Umbrella Stripe Dome Cold Cup and Starbucks Pink Gradient Dome Cold Cup feature double-walled construction to keep Frappuccino™ blended beverages cold, at the same time, protect hands and prevent condensation. Both come in 16oz capacities.
The smooth stainless steel of Starbucks Surfboard SS Tumbler(16oz) and Starbucks Gradient SS Tumbler(12oz) gives it a polished and professional look. Made with double-walled specs and vacuum-insulated to help maintain temperatures of both hot and cold drinks while protecting hands, the black twist-style lid is also leak resistant, leaving less worries for the busy coffee lover.
For a bit of colour pop yet with the same characteristics as the stainless steel tumblers, the Starbucks Palms Purple Tumbler(16oz) is the right choice. In addition to having double-walled configuration that prevents condensation and a leak-resistant sliding lid, the tumbler is suitable for both hot and cold beverages and is BPA-free.
Tea lovers will enjoy the fashion-with-function that comes with the Starbucks Slim Line Water Bottle with Stripes(18oz). In addition to its leak-proof lid and stylish loop design, the spill-proof drinking rim also serves as a filter for teabags.
Pick up any of these mugs and tumblers along with the summer Starbucks card, which features a beach scene. The card can be activated with just RM30.
The limited edition Frappuccino® blended beverages and summer merchandise are available from April 19 onwards. The Kati-Kati Blend, priced at RM40, is already on sale in stores. For more, visit your nearest Starbucks outlet.
