We visited Starbucks one fine afternoon, with the intent of trying their new summer, Japanese inspired frappuccinos and also quenching our thirst from the sweltering heat outside. We had the Red bean with Green Tea Frappuccino and Hojicha with earl grey jelly Frappuccino. I personally like the Hojicha one better over the green tea. Hojicha is basically roasted green tea, so it has a really nice earthly tea taste to the drink which is complemented by the nice earl grey jelly which spurts out nice

Hojicha is basically roasted green tea, so it has a really nice earthly tea taste to the drink which is complemented by the nice earl grey jelly which spurts out nice citrusy bergamot taste as you chew on them. I am a green tea fan, in fact I like most matcha based drinks, especially when this green tea frappuccino served by Starbucks has a decent amount of matcha powder in it and goes really well with the huge azuki bean toppings. However, the matcha flavour becomes overly diluted as the remaining ice in the drink melts, resulting in a very diluted, almost tasteless drink towards the end. The first few sips were good, but after that it becomes less enjoyable.
