Starbucks This Holiday Season

Jalapeno Cheese Roll Php 55

This was too plain for the price it came for. I don't think the jalapeno and the cheese were a good match. I wouldn't try it again.

Chocolate Cream Frappe

This was much too sweet for me... I probably wouldn't get it again.

Espresso Frappe

After the rhumba frappe, my personal fave was discontinued, I have finally found my new holy grail frappe drink.It isn't as bitter as most espresso drinks. T
he whipped cream was a great balance to the dark taste of the espresso.

it's starting to feel like christmas

It was my friend's birthday. We decided to celebrate it later on when we were more free and less stressed from school. But to at least lighten our spirits up, we headed off to Starbucks, the only 'okay' place left open at that time...

Peppermint Mocha Latte

All I can say was that I felt like I just had eaten several Mentos candies prior to having this drink.

Peppermint Chocolate Brownie Php75

This was not as disturbing as the drink was. Enjoyable enough if you don't have it that often.
In general though, I don't really think that mint-chocolate combinations are for me...ever.... :)

hmmmm....Toffee Nut Latte

Okay, so it's obvious I desperately want that planner...hehe... Anyways, of their 3 Christmas specials, I would have to say that I like the Toffee Nut variants the most. I just love the toffee sugar  crystals on top...I could eat those by the spoonfulls!

Starbucks' Holiday Creations

I've been buying coffee from Starbucks like crazy. Want that planner. Anyway, I thought I'd share my insights on their new flavors.

Christmas Blend
Dark and bitter. I found out that these were Indonesian beans that have been aged.


Gingerbread Latte

A basic latte flavored with Gingerbread syrup, and topped with whipped cream and nutmeg.I could slightly taste then ginger in the coffee. I like this one and I know I'll be having more of this.

Peppermint Latte

Latte flavored with peppermint syrup, whipped cream, and red sprinkles. May take a little bit of getting used to.
