Starbucks Japan has announced two new Frappuccinos that help to bring summer to a close and welcome the arrival of autumn. The Green Apple Jelly Frappuccino and Baked Pink Apple Frappuccino are deliciously harvest season-inspired, and are characterized by their sweet, dessert-like profiles.
The Green Apple Jelly Frappuccino has crips bits of apple along with soft apple gelatin in the mix along with green apply candy bits on the whipped cream topping. The Baked Pink Apple Frappuccino features a pink apple compote that's paired with crumbled pastry for a drinkable, pie-like experience.
The two new Frappuccinos will be available as part of the Starbucks Japan Artful Autumn menu that will launch August 30 with the blended beverages themselves only available until September 19.
