(SPOT.ph) Some would argue that new year's festivities are a manmade attempt to give a semblance of meaning to our lives, yet ultimately a social construct. (Those people must be fun at parties.) But hey, there's really nothing wrong with celebrating the new year—objectively the start of a new 365 to 366 days of the Earth moving in its orbit around the Sun—by using it as an excuse to feast on new eats and sips! Anyways, if you're a regular at Starbucks, you probably already have your go-to drink—but in the name of going out of your comfort zone, or just for the heck of trying out a novel beverage, you'll want to check out their new drinks that highlight the vibrant, fruity flavor of pear.

Try a different kind of sip this 2022 with these new drinks at Starbucks:

If you're all about the earthy-grassy taste of matcha, you'll want to go for the Poached Pear Pure Matcha Latte (starts at P170/tall)—here, the green tea meets its creamy match with milk but also gets a bright lift from the addition of poached pear plus almonds for crunch. For a more straightforward fruity sip you can go for the Poached Pear Oolong (starts at P170/short), where poached pear is given a subtly floral tinge with Starbucks' own Zen Cloud Oolong Tea.
