Starbucks has announced the launch of its Spring 2024 beverage line-up across the Asia Pacific region.
The new line-up comprises the French Vanilla Mille-Feuille Oatmilk Latte, Peach Passion Blossom Pure Matcha Latte and Peach Passion Blossom Cream Frappuccino Blended Beverage.
The French Vanilla Mille-Feuille Oatmilk Latte was inspired by the French dessert.
It combines Starbucks' signature espresso with oat milk, caramel swirls and flaky pastry toppings. It is available in hot, iced and blended variations.
Peach Passion Blossom Pure Matcha Latte is a combination of Pure Matcha and nectarine.
The drink is topped with cold foam and a sprinkle of cranberry custard sugar. It is available in hot or iced options.
The Peach Passion Blossom Cream Frappuccino Blended Beverage is a combination of blossoms and strawberry-flavoured sauces topped with red cranberry custard-flavoured sugar and green Pure Matcha powder.
This month, Starbucks introduced its Inclusive Spaces framework to enhance store accessibility for employees and customers with disabilities.
The framework includes both physical and digital features such as an updated point-of-sale (POS) system that can accommodate a wider range of users. The POS system offers an adjustable stand, voice assist, screen magnification and visual order confirmation to support diverse needs and languages.
The framework also introduces customer order status boards for visual updates on order progress and power-operated doors with an easy-to-use vertical push button.
The initiative was part of the company’s commitment to inclusivity and has been integrated into the design of a new store that opened on 16 February 2024 in Washington DC, US.
