In celebration of the Lunar New Year, Starbucks is set to launch a distinctive beverage in China that combines the unexpected flavors of Dongpo Braised Pork with espresso and steamed milk. The unconventional drink, aptly named the “Abundant Year Savory Latte,” aims to blend traditional Lunar New Year customs with the coffee culture that Starbucks is known for.
The new latte features a harmonious blend of Dongpo Braised Pork Flavor sauce, espresso, and steamed milk, creating a unique fusion of sweet and savory notes. To enhance the pork-infused experience, the drink is garnished with an extra pork sauce drizzle and topped with succulent pork breast meat. Starbucks enthusiasts looking to try this innovative concoction can indulge in the “Abundant Year Savory Latte” for approximately nine dollars and 45 cents, as per information available on the Starbucks delivery app.
The Shanghai Starbucks Reserve Roastery, where the novel beverage will be available, emphasizes the cultural significance of the drink, stating that “eating meat means prosperity in the coming year.” By introducing this unconventional blend, Starbucks aims to bring a touch of traditional New Year customs into the realm of coffee, offering a unique and festive experience to customers.
As Starbucks continues to embrace the diversity of global tastes and cultural celebrations, the introduction of the Dongpo Braised Pork Flavored Latte underscores the brand’s commitment to creating innovative and culturally resonant offerings for its patrons.
