#FOOD: STARBUCKS CANADA UNVEIL NEW SPRING 2025 MENU INCLUDING LAVENDER AND CHERRY CHAI

On Tuesday, March 4, 2025 Starbucks is saying goodbye to the chill of winter and ringing in the long-awaited spring.

– A cheerful combination: The new Iced Cherry Chai puts an elevated springtime twist on the beloved Iced Chai Latte, featuring a cherry cream cold foam that offers notes of cherry with a cherry crunch topping.

– “When you take a sip of Iced Cherry Chai, you immediately get a creamy texture and warm spices along with notes of cherry – and it all comes together in an approachable way,” said Billy Altieri, lead beverage developer for Starbucks.

–Pocket full of spice: Joining the permanent menu are the new, certified vegan, Spicy Falafel Pocket, combining smashed falafel, creamy hummus, roasted red bell peppers, pickled onions, and a spicy herb sauce, all wrapped inside a toasted lavash flatbread, and the new Jalapeño Chicken Pocket, stuffed with diced chicken, charred poblanos, green jalapeños, three-chile-pepper cheese and jalapeño cream cheese, wrapped in a toasted chile lavash flatbread.

–Love for lavender: Back by popular demand, lavender returns to the Starbucks Spring Menu, including the Iced Lavender Cream Oat Matcha, Iced Lavender Latte and Lavender Crème Frappuccino® Blended Beverage.

– A new blonde in town: Starbucks Sunsera Blend is a new blonde roast crafted with easy drinking in mind, launching at Starbucks cafes in Canada on March 4. Starbucks Sunsera will be available to purchase as a whole bean 1Lb bag or as the featured light roast in cafes.

–This new blend is Starbucks smoothest, brightest coffee yet, crafted with 100% Arabica coffees from Brazil and Colombia. It’s naturally sweet with notes of bright citrus and toasted almond, available for a limited time only.
