MANILA — The Philippine summer is in full swing, sparking cravings for something refreshingly new. Starbucks Philippines has unveiled its “Fresh Takes, Bold Flavors” lineup, delivering innovative coffee experiences crafted for a new generation to savor and share.

To introduce these exciting flavors, Starbucks brought its iconic “Starbucks Venti Van Campus Tours” to Far Eastern University (FEU) and Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU), transforming ordinary midweeks into memorable breaks filled with cool sips and surprises. Students enjoyed an exclusive first taste of Starbucks’ vibrant new offerings.

The Nutty Crème Crunch Latte transforms the classic iced latte into a decadent, drinkable dessert. This playful creation blends rich espresso with milk, sweetened by White Chocolate Mocha sauce, and is topped with a generous swirl of caramel whipped cream and sugar-glazed almond topping.

Starbucks describes it as “familiar flavors in a creative format,” inviting you to savor each layer of texture and taste in your own way.

Then there’s the Caffe Mello, a sophisticated fusion of espresso and milk tea. This unique beverage starts with black tea brewed in a warm blend of steamed milk and White Chocolate Mocha sauce.

The “Mello” in its name reflects its beautifully balanced profile—sweet, milky, with a light, approachable bitterness. Perfect for those who find traditional coffee intimidating or anyone seeking a gentle yet uplifting energy boost, the Caffe Mello offers a smooth and inviting experience.

The Starbucks Venti Van campus events were more than just tastings. Over 200 Starbucks® Rewards members at each campus were thrilled to receive free blind boxes containing limited-edition collectibles, sparking instant buzz and delight.

The festive atmosphere was amplified by special appearances from the friendly Bearista Bear, drawing crowds for fun photo moments that quickly lit up social media feeds.

Can’t wait to try these innovative drinks? The Nutty Crème Crunch Latte and Caffe Mello are now available at Starbucks® stores across the Philippines. Hurry, though—these summer specials are only brewing until June 30, 2025.
