Starbucks has a few new drinks in the works for this
summer. Actually, the company is always testing new drinks in different parts of the country. Some are limited release -
like macchiatos flavored with maple in the Northeast U.S. and coconut mocha in Hawaii - and others are destined, if
successful, to be part of a much larger rollout. Creme Brulee and Blackberry Green Tea flavors, supposedly, will be
released at the end of spring, and Starbucks is experimenting with soy-based Frappuccinos for non-dairy drinkers. The
Green Tea Frappuccino is said to have blackberry puree or syrup, similar to the one added to the Strawberries and Cream
frappuccino, added to the base, and the drink will be topped with a blackberry drizzle.

I'd just be happy with the green tea frappuccinos they had last year - those were amazing! I'm surprised they didn't keep them on actually, they were very popular.
3i loved the green tea frappacinos! they were so good, not too sweet, and nice and cool. i hope they make a comeback. but i must say the blackberry version might be pushing it...as much as i love blackberries and green tea a combination of the two in a frappacino sounds a little gross.:(

Actually, I had one of the Blackberry Green Tea Fraps this morning. Shazam! I loved the Green Tea all last summer, and in all honesty, I had forgotten to even begin to look for it. But when I walked in this morning, much to my surprise, it was back...with a blackberry kick. The same green tea taste still permeates, but the beginning and end of each sip has a just a hint of berry. Indpls has been a test market for some time, as I believe we had the Grani before most places as well. If you loved the GT Frap, give this new one a try.

tried blackberry green tea frap. yesterday in place of cup of coffee. was heavenly and most refreshing/satisfying. couldn't help but wonder about the calories/fat. yes i had the whipped cream. can't pull up calorie count on web. thanks,
10From what I understand, the BBGTF will be a thing of the past as of May. (that's the rumor anyway) I would believe that it definately won't be a year round deal as I tried to purchase a bottle of blackberry syrup today, and it's not available for retail...they only do that to limited time flavors. :(
