This afternoon, I was invited by Starbucks Indonesia for their Holiday Gathering at their newest branch in Tomang, West Jakarta.
For this holiday season, Starbucks Indonesia introduced Christmas Handcrafted Espresso Beverages, Holiday Whole Bean and Holiday food 2011. Available at Starbucks stores until the 2nd of January 2012.
Starbucks Christmas Handcrafted Espresso Beverages, served hot or cold:
Cranberry White chocolate Mocha (New): Rich, full-bodied Starbucks signature espresso with white chocolate flavored sauce and steamed milk. Topped with sweetened whipped cream, cranberry drizzle and cranberry sugar sprinkle.
Toffee Nut Latte: Espresso in steamed milk combined with toasted toffee nuts syrup, topped with whipped cream and toffee-flavored sprinkles.
Peppermint Mocha: Espresso in steamed milk, bittersweet chocolate, mocha sauce and peppermint flavored syrup, topped with whipped cream and chocolate drizzle.
I tried all these 3 Holiday Beverages. I really love the Cranberry White Chocolate Mocha.
I also tried to taste the Starbucks Christmas Blend Espresso Roast in a small cup. Starbucks Christmas Blend Espresso Roast is a deeper and darker version of Starbucks Christmas Blend with the touch of aged Sumatran coffee beans, combined with Bella Vista F.W. Tres Rio coffee beans from Costa Rica. It tasted intense deep, bitter, sweet and spicy.
Holiday Whole Bean:
Starbucks Christmas Blend (the red packaging) and Starbucks Christmas Blend Espresso Roast (the purple packaging)
