Happiness arrives at Starbucks in the US: the new treat returns this fall - new flavor

Starbucks prepares the return of special flavors to celebrate the arrival of the fall season in the United States

The change of season is just around the corner and, with it, the craving for comforting flavors that bring back memories of fall. Many are already preparing their perfect summer orders, but Starbucks has started to set the stage for what's coming. This year, the fall season at Starbucks brings exciting news for coffee lovers.

The coffee chain has announced the return of one of its most iconic classics: the Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL). This drink, which turns 20 years old, will be available starting August 26, weeks before the official start of fall. Along with this, four other highly desired flavors are also returning, such as Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai, and Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte.

The classics that warm up fall are back

Pumpkin Spice Latte is an emblem of the fall season at Starbucks. This coffee combines espresso with a spiced blend of pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg that has won over millions in the United States and beyond. In fact, it is estimated that millions of these drinks are sold every year during fall, cementing its place as a cult product.

Not only is the PSL returning to Starbucks, but other options are also coming back to accompany the drop in temperatures. Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, known for its creamy texture and intense flavor, is back to refresh the afternoons, according to All Recipes.

The Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai offers a spiced and sweet blend, ideal for those who prefer something cold but with a touch of fall. Finally, the Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte adds a twist with oat milk and a crunchy touch that makes it a guaranteed hit.

New additions to renew the menu

Along with these returns, Starbucks is introducing new items that promise to become favorites. The big surprise is the Pecan Oatmilk Cortado, a drink that takes advantage of the success of the pecan flavor. This cortado keeps a 1:1 ratio of espresso and lightly steamed milk, which intensifies the coffee flavor without losing smoothness.

For those who are not familiar with this drink, it is like a strong and compact version of the flat white, but with the special touch of toasted pecans. In the words of a Starbucks representative, "this drink is like a pecan pie in liquid form." Without a doubt, this option stands out for offering a different and very autumnal flavor.

In addition, for those looking for more than just coffee, Starbucks is launching a new dish: Italian Sausage Egg Bites. This product joins the popular Egg Bites line, highly appreciated for its flavor and texture. This addition is expected to perfectly complement the fall atmosphere and menu.
