Celebrate The Year of the Rat With Starbucks

Hi Huneybees,

It's a brand new year and as we enter a new year of new possibilities, Starbucks welcomes the season with comforting beverages, a refreshed breakfast menu and exclusive merchandise fit for festive celebration this Year of the Rat.

Back by popular demand, the Starbucks® Okinawa Brown Sugar Latte returns to energize you for the day ahead; the Starbucks® Pure Matcha Latte and the all-new Starbucks® Black Sesame Pure Matcha Latte with Taro Foam will mesmerize you with its rich intensity. That's what I'm sipping on as I write this post, I'm loving the combination of the slight sweetness in taro, that elevates the fragrance from the matcha latte. 

Starbucks has also added to its suite of customizable drink options with Oatly – another dairy-free alternative for all! If you are a Starbucks member, check out the free customization reward in your app. 😋

To motivate a good start to the day, Starbucks has some new additions to their breakfast sets, such as the Truffle Scrambled Egg, Chicken, Kale & Cheese Wrap or Chicken Ham, Wholemeal Bagel with Egg White, Chicken Ham & Tomato Wholemeal Bagel at $8.50 per set. Otherwise, indulge in the scrumptious Scrambled Egg & Turkey Ham Pita or Turkey Bacon, Spinach & Egg Panini for $7.50 per set. For customers who prefer a lighter meal, get your hands on the Ham & Cheese Toast for $6.50 per set.

*Each Starbucks Breakfast Set comes with a tall sized freshly brewed coffee. Starbucks Breakfast menu is carried at all outlets island wide and is available for all-day enjoyment, while stocks last. Starbucks Breakfast Sets are available till 11:30am on weekdays and 2:30pm on weekends and public

Enjoy these delights over the festive season as a refreshing breakfast or mid-day snack. Starbucks all-new Overnight Oats with Pomegranate, Apricot, Fruit & Nut Mix and assorted Yogurt Parfaits promise a smile on your face.

No matter the time of day, there is always room for dessert! Take a slice of paradise with the Milk Tea Chocolate Cake and Green Tea & Espresso Cake, or ring in the festivities of the Year of the Rat with the light and creamy Say Cheese Mango Cheesecake. There’s also the dreamy, creamy palm-sized treat – Green Tea Pudding Cup, the perfect pick-me-up that you can enjoy in-store or on-the-go. These treats are available for a limited time, so grab them quick!
