Ano ang namiss nyo sa Starbucks?

Bigla ko namiss mag Starbucks event. Usually every December and April ang mga event nila to bring in their new merchandise and coffee drinks sa mga Starbucks customers and hobbyists/collectors. 

I miss going in to their events. Tapos magpi picture ng what's new and join din sa games nila to win some Starbucks premium items. 

Sa Starbucks ko lang na discover by chance yung mga gusto kong sandwich, cinnamon, corned beef pandesal and chocolate donut na di nakakaumay.  And sa kanila din ako natuto mag collect ng Starbucks cards. Ang cute ng collection ko. . When I am travelling, I tried to as much to avail ng kahit ano merchandise or taste/sip kung ano latte bestseller nila like when I was in China and Dubai recently. It never dissapoints. Iba iba ang lasa pero mas masarap yung coffee jelly dito sa tin. 

Dito ko lang din nakikita yung mga #ootd ko before. Namiss ko tong bagelya ko. 

Dito ko din minahal yung cold brew series nila, aside of course from Teavana and coffee jelly.  Ang sarap!! Promise. After the lockdown , ktakitz mga ka Starbucks. =) 

Starbucks Reserve now offers its first ice cream and coffee pairings

If youre like me who wants to pair coffee with ice cream, then youre in for the winning combination with Starbucks Reserve.

Opposites make perfect combinations and this holds true for the unique pairing of ice cream and coffee. Both are well-loved: Coffee has always been seen as a comforting, warm drink while ice cream is known as an indulgent, cool dessert. But when these two ingredients are put together, it’s like fate, the results are bound to be something wonderful.

 
Delightful fusions are now making their way to select Starbucks Reserve stores, as the global coffee brand now offers its first ice cream and coffee pairings.


The new  exciting and delectable coffee with ice cream lineup is part of Starbucks continuous efforts to further elevate the coffee experience for their customers, thoughtfully crafting beverages that amaze with every sip.

The roster of coffee-based ice cream beverages includes the Classic Affogato, the House Affogato, the Cold Brew and the Nitro Cold Brew Float, and the Cold Brew Malt.

Starbucks provides a premium coffee experience, transporting its customers to the cafes of Italy with a staple dessert – the Classic Affogato which is made with two shots of Reserve espresso poured over vanilla ice cream. The simplicity of pouring hot espresso over cold ice cream not only offers a rich creaminess at first taste, but exposes the nuanced flavors unique to each espresso.

A sweeter and more indulgent variation of the Classic Affogato is the House Affogato that includes a drizzling of rich, caramelly Demerara syrup and a dusting of cinnamon which adds a subtle aromatic spice to the dessert.

There is also the Cold Brew Float for those looking for a little something extra for their mid-afternoon coffee run - a smooth and bold cold brew topped with a thick dollop of vanilla ice cream. Customers can also try the Nitro Cold Brew Float which is made with nitrogen-infused cold brew for a creamier finish.

Finally, there is the Cold Brew Malt, a drink that pays homage to the old-school malt milkshake but with a special coffee twist. This ultra-creamy drink is spindle-blended with cold brew coffee, vanilla ice cream, and chocolate bitters.

Starbucks introduces Cold Brew Vanilla Sweet Cream and Nitro Cold Brew

Cold Brew is growing in popularity and more and more Filipinos are falling for its smoother and naturally sweet flavor. Using a custom Cold Brew blend, Starbucks has introduced to many coffee lovers the complex and compelling flavors of Cold Brew.

From the name itself, we can glean that Cold Brew undergoes a different process than ordinary brewed coffee. Cold Brew is made using cold water all throughout the 20-hour preparation process. It uses coarsely ground coffee, and is steeped slowly in cold water. This procedure which relies on time instead of heat gives Cold Brew its naturally sweet flavor and smooth texture.

Today, the flavor of the Cold Brew we know and love is elevated with the Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew. Complementing the soft and chocolaty flavors of Starbucks Cold Brew is a delicate float of house-made vanilla sweet cream that cascades throughout the cup.

“We’re introducing two new innovative and coffee-forward beverages that will surely excite our customers especially those who are Cold Brew drinkers, giving a new way to experience cold coffee,” Keith Cole, head of marketing for Starbucks Philippines said.

Aside from the Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew which will be available in all Starbucks stores starting July 25, coffee enthusiasts can also try the new Starbucks Nitro Cold Brew at Starbucks Reserve 14 Jupiter store in Makati.

Starbucks Nitro Cold Brew is perfect for coffee lovers who are in a constant search for new ways to enjoy coffee.  The infusion of nitrogen to Cold Brew gives it a naturally sweet flavor and a rich and velvety crema that can be tasted and seen. It is deliciously cold and served unsweetened, without ice, to highlight the flavor the cold-brewing process brings out in the coffee. It is dispensed through a tap and it also gets a dense and creamy head akin to the look and texture of stout beer fresh from the tap.
