You have told us you want more thirst-quenching beverages at Starbucks. So we dabbled, played, mixed, and tasted...and... what we came up with is simply delicious! Introducing Starbucks Refresha™ beverages, a new line of iced beverages now available in stores across the UK and Ireland.

Starbucks Refresha™ Iced Beverages come in two flavours: Berry Hibiscus with real blackberries and Cool Lime with a slice of real lime. Each contains real fruit, fruit juice and green, unroasted coffee extract shaken over ice.

Around here we like to say “the newest thing in coffee tastes nothing like coffee.” Green Coffee Extract is a new ingredient made solely of green coffee beans, so it has a light, subtle taste unlike that of roasted coffee, but it still provides a bit of natural caffeine.

This beverage is a perfect solution for customers looking to refresh and recharge, and pairs really nicely with food, too. All that, and less than 100 calories for a Grande!  

I’m a big fan of these drinks because they are super thirst-quenching. I’m hoping you all will be fans, too. I’d love to hear what you think so please feel free to leave your comments below.
