Starbucks Launches Hello Kitty Drinks That Are Purr-Fectly #Aesthetic
The red bows are edible!
(SPOT.ph) Hello Kitty, even if she is a 50-year-old little girl, is known across generations—what a timeless, anthropomorphic icon. So, of course, everyone (including us) was freaking out when Starbucks announced a special collaboration with the Sanrio character for its 50th birthday.
In this SB x HK collaboration, the kawaii-est tumblers and mugs will officially launch on September 9, and yup, there will be equally cute, refreshing Hello Kitty-themed drinks too. These are the Apple Pie Cream Frappuccino Blended Beverage and the Red Apple Frozen Tea.

Say hello! to Starbucks' new Hello Kitty-themed drinks:
Just in case you didn't know: Hello Kitty loves apples, especially her mom's apple pie. So, it only makes sense that Starbucks' new Hello Kitty-themed handcrafted beverages incorporate the flavor in the two drinks. And to keep things "Hello Kitty-coded," both drinks are topped with the iconic red bow—yes, it is edible. It's made of chocolate!
The Apple Pie Cream Frappuccino Blended Beverage is said to be inspired by said apple pie that Hello Kitty loves. This is a layered velvety drink that uses creamy milk and cream Frappuccino syrup, and a chunky deep-red apple sauce in the bottom—that should remind you of freshly baked apple pie. The other drink is the refreshing Red Apple Frozen Tea which uses Teavana Zen Clouds Oolong Tea and a sweet and chunky apple sauce.
Unfortunately, no apple pie or apple-baked goodies are included in the collaboration. But on the brighter side, there are seven Hello Kitty and Starbucks-themed drinkware, the cutest Hello Kitty stuffed toy wearing a Starbucks uniform, and for the anik-anik girlies, a phone charm.
Starbucks' Hello Kitty-inspired drinks and merchandise will be available across all stores nationwide starting September 10.
