Christmas has come and gone so did the New Year.  That means next major holiday in Beijing is Chinese New Year.  With this holiday comes new merchandise at Starbucks.  Since I’m working for the building’s leasing department, I was able to get the latest news buzz about Starbucks from the newly opened store in our 3rd level.  In my previous post, I’ve talked about the Christmas stuff, well.. if you’re lucky enough the remaining unsold merchandise will go on sale soon. 

What I’m going to post today is what will be happening at Starbucks starting tomorrow till February.  I believe they will update the site soon to correspond to their new offerings.  The theme for January and February is “Celebrating with Coffee”.

Coffee and Food

The delicious Honey Orange Latte is back!  I’ve tried this last year courtesy of my Starbucks cousin addict Gold who graciously treated me to this wonderful concoction.  A tall cup will cost you RMB30, Grande is RMB 33 and Venti is RMB 36.

To go along with your latte, you can either have a Honey Peach Souffle Cheese Cake (RMB 23) or a

Chocolate Royal Raspberry Crunch (RMB 23).  Of course, the usual pastry selection will do as well but why not try something new right?  BTW, the chocolate muffin isn’t that great.  It’s huge but nothing to brag about.  It will also set you back by RMB 12.  The regular muffin sold in packs of four in the supermarket is way better than Starbucks..
