Every fall, Starbucks adds their Pumpkin Spice Lattes to their lineup, much to the delight of the many fans of the drink. This year, it is joined by another seasonal drink: the Maple Macchiato. The drink is much like the company's caramel "macchiato," which is a latte with vanilla and caramel sauce added to it, only it uses a maple syrup sauce instead of the other flavors. It even has a little maple drizzle on top.

The drink has been test marketed in Canada and in some parts of the US, so if you live in the North East, you may have sampled the maple-goodness before. It is sweet, satisfying and very evocative of fall. All stores should have it in stock this week. Expect to see some seasonal maple-flavored pastries, as well, as the 'Bucks tends to pair their new coffee drinks with a similarly flavored muffin or scone.

Starbucks is releasing their new Green Tea Latte in the US today. The green tea lattes are already available at many other Starbucks locations throughout the world. Unlike their Green Tea Frappuccino from last summer, which was made with a premixed base, the tea latte is built just like a regular latte - with freshly steamed milk. They are flavored with matcha, which is powdered green tea, a a splash of melon-flavored syrup. If you like the flavor of the green tea and don't want to cover it up with the melon flavor, take Hungry Girl's advice and ask for your latte to be made with half the amount of syrup. Alternatively, try vanilla syrup instead of the melon altogether.

Just please don't ask the baristas to add a shot of espresso to your tea drink. I know that I have seen a lot of people do it, but it's just not right.
