STARBUCKS JAPAN has launched two seasonal drinks for JAPANESE NEW YEAR on DECEMBER 26, 2025: the GYOKURO MATCHA FRAPPUCCINO and TEAVANA GYOKURO MATCHA LATTE. Both drinks feature PREMIUM-GRADE GYOKURO, a rare Japanese tea known for its rich UMAMI FLAVOR, accompanied by MATCHA PASTE, MATCHA WHIPPED CREAM, and CRUNCHY MATCHA FIANTINE toppings.
The GYOKURO MATCHA FRAPPUCCINO is made for those looking for a fresh yet layered flavor. It features RICH MATCHA PASTE with a smooth texture, delivering a clear taste of high-quality tea in every sip. It is topped with slightly sweet MATCHA WHIPPED CREAM and MATCHA FIANTINE for a light and crisp contrast.
Meanwhile, the TEAVANA GYOKURO MATCHA LATTE is a more refined and warm option that suits more mature palates. It combines MATCHA POWDER and GYOKURO with rich milk, with both whipped cream and fiantine as accents. The result is a balanced blend that highlights the natural ASTRINGENCY and authentic flavor of JAPANESE TEA. Both beverages are available for a limited time at Starbucks branches in Japan.
