Starbucks Launches 'Black Hepssal Gobong Latte' Made with Domestic Black Rice

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] Starbucks announced on the 30th that it will launch three beverages, including the ‘Black Hepssal Gobong Latte,’ which fills your morning heartily with domestically produced black rice, along with four food items to welcome the New Year 2023.

The Black Hepssal Gobong Latte is a savory-flavored drink made with an espresso shot, black rice sauce, and oat milk. To celebrate the Year of the Black Rabbit, it includes domestically produced black rice, adding meaning not only in taste and nutrition but also in color so customers can welcome a special New Year.

The Golden Mimosa Green Tea is a refreshing beverage where orange, Moscato, and green tea blend lightly with carbonation. The color was designed to evoke a celebratory toast wishing customers luck and energy for the New Year at Starbucks.

The ‘Starbucks Turmeric Latte,’ where healthy turmeric subtly blends with a blonde espresso shot, is a drink that warms you from the chest and was planned to bring tranquility for the new year’s fresh start.

In addition, Starbucks will release four new food items: the rabbit-shaped ‘Mascarpone Cheese Tart,’ the ‘Carrot Pecan Cake’ representing a carrot field, the ‘V.L.T. Sandwich’ containing a plant-based alternative omelet, and the ‘Green Onion Cheese Almond Scone,’ which features the appealing flavors of well-roasted green onions, cheese, and bacon.

Starbucks will hold a New Year event on the 1st of next month, offering the first 23 customers who visit each store one free tall-sized drink from five event beverages. Customers can choose from three new products, Cafe Americano, or Cafe Latte.

Also, until the 14th of the same month, Green and Gold level members who order New Year promotion drinks via Siren Order using their registered Starbucks card on their account will receive an additional 3 stars per drink in a special event.
