Starbucks Philippines highlights poached pear in its first new drinks this year

How have you been since you got back to the grind after the holidays? 

Since we were on “vacay mode” for at least a week, the past few days have been quite taxing to get up in the morning and work. This is why most of us are, again, counting on our best work-from-home companions (tea and coffee) to stay wide-eyed especially on days that are more hectic than usual. Have you also been staying as caffeinated as you have to be? 

We have new discoveries that can treat your tastebuds as you try to get through busy times. More popular in cocktail recipes, Starbucks Philippines decided to put the spotlight on poached pear in its first new beverages for the year. 

There’s the new Poached Pear Pure Matcha Latte (P170/P185/P200), which combines slow cooked pear with pure matcha in one cup finished off with poached pear almond toppings. The result? A magically sweet and fruity drink with some crunch that can help you start your days right. 

If you’re more of a tea person, the Poached Pear Oolong (P155/P170/P185) might be perfect for you. In this beverage, its Premium Zen Cloud Oolong tea is mixed with poached pair for just the right amount of sweetness. Taking it to the next level are some chunks of juicy poached pear.
