I complained about Starbucks’ green tea frappuccino in this post that it didn’t taste like green tea (or Matcha), but rather like some sort of bubble gum.
Starbucks Green Tea
I finally learned the reason is that they add melon syrup to it. That explains my bubble gum association. If you ask them not to add melon syrup, it’ll taste more like green tea. And if you’re a matcha fan, I recommend asking for extra matcha. Now, if they ask you how many scoop, don’t ask for more than 1 because it’ll be way too powering even for my taste. And keep in mind I usually get venti so if you usually get tall, i wouldn’t recommend asking for extra matcha powder.
