During the hot summer months, everyone looks forward to refreshing treats. The well-known coffee brand Starbucks releases different limited-edition drinks each season, and this time they’re bringing back the once sensational “Taiwan No. 9 Peanut Tapioca Frappuccino” that took Taiwan by storm in 2016. Not only is it a flavor exclusive to Taiwan, but it also combines authentic local ingredients such as peanuts, brown sugar, and tapioca, making it highly anticipated as soon as the news broke.

The “Taiwan No. 9 Peanut Tapioca Frappuccino” was created by Starbucks partners using their unique taste creativity, featuring real Taiwan No. 9 peanut pieces and ground peanut powder. The rich aroma of peanuts blends with the creaminess, complemented by smooth tapioca jelly and the flavor of brown sugar — perfectly incorporating beloved traditional Taiwanese flavors into a Frappuccino.

In addition, alongside the launch of this second wave of summer Frappuccinos, Starbucks has also introduced another new flavor: the “Summer Mango Frappuccino.” Featuring the quintessential summer fruit — mango — it uses carefully selected Indian Alphonso mangoes known for their unique honey-like sweetness and citrusy aroma. These are blended with milk and a mix of two fruit juices, then enhanced with mango jelly for added texture and mango fragrance, resulting in a rich, multi-layered mango flavor throughout the drink.

Starbucks’ new summer Frappuccino drinks will be available as a limited release starting May 14th — definitely a must-try summer refreshment this year.
