Starbucks has never shied away from introducing uniqueand sometimes divisiveflavors to its menu.
The first is an Iced Lavender Cream Oatmilk Matcha that’s topped with a lavender cream cold foam.
Guests will also be able to customize other drinks on the Starbucks menu by adding the new floral flavor.

Add too little, and you won’t be able to taste those subtle floral flavors.
Add too much, and you risk making your creation taste like perfume or soap.
Luckily, Starbucks' found the right balance for its first foray into lavender.

The floral notes blended really nicely with that earthy, not-too-sweet matcha.
The end result was tasty and well-balanced.
