Lately, the mornings and evenings have gotten cooler, making it a comfortable time of year except for the middle of the day.
Signs of autumn are appearing everywhere, and with the introduction of new products, we've seen a lot of products with autumnal warms.
Among these, the Pumpkin Spice Latte from the Starbucks Japan (hereafter, "Starbucks") chilled cup series was released on Tuesday, September 10, 2024, so I'd like to review it.
A Design that Evokes Autumn
The main theme, pumpkin, is prominently featured.
The warm color palette, with the brown of the spices and the yellow and orange of the pumpkin, is very stylish, just like autumn leaves.
Holding this in your hand would definitely be a fall fashion statement!
The Pumpkin Spice Latte is also sold at Starbucks stores, so I'm curious about the difference in taste.
Nutrition Facts
Now that we've checked the package, let's look at the nutrition facts!
For one bottle (200ml) of Pumpkin Spice Latte, the facts are as follows:
- Energy: 155kcal
- Protein: 5.2g
- Fat: 5.8g
- Carbohydrates: 20.6g
- Sodium Chloride Equivalent: 0.16g
Compared to other chilled cup series, the calories are a little high, but with its pumpkin, spices, and creamy milk, it's the perfect treat!
What Does This "Pumpkin × Spice" Combination Taste Like?
Now that we've checked the nutrition facts, I'd like to try it!
When I opened it, there was a faint aroma of spices.
I imagined it would be yellow because it's pumpkin, but the color is a beige, like milk tea!
I can faintly smell the pumpkin!
When I drink it, the pumpkin isn't overpowering, and there's a creamy milkiness.
It's similar to a rich pumpkin pudding.
The cinnamon spice isn't too strong and works as an accent to enhance the pumpkin's sweetness, so it's a gentle match for the pumpkin latte.
Everyone, You Should Try It!
The Pumpkin Spice Latte is now on sale at convenience stores nationwide, excluding some locations!
This is a limited-time product, and we don't know when sales will end, so get it quickly and enjoy the flavor of autumn's pumpkin × spice!
