August Means Blueberries at Starbucks

Starbucks started the summer with orange then went raspberry. Finishing up the summer flavors is now blueberries. Their newest machinations are a Blueberries and Creme Frappuccino and a Shaken Blueberry White Iced Tea.


Missing from the lineup is a latte-based blueberry drink. I asked if they could make a blueberry mocha upon which the cashier said maybe but the barrista said, “Ewww….” The blueberry flavoring is like a puree of blueberries so it’s sorta thick. The barrista explained that a latte drink made with this would be, well, chunky to drink. So I passed on a fruity chunky drink.

They did have samples of the Blueberries Frappuccino, and it was pretty good although sweet. Stores even changed their menu color scheme to a blueberry tone. Here’s a pic.
