Starbucks is celebrating their anniversary for this month of September, in line with the celebration, they are releasing the limited edition merchandise for their anniversary theme collection. Starbucks collectors get ready and don’t miss the merch with several designs of the iconic siren character of Starbucks.
What is that Siren ?
So here’s a short info about it.
Ever since Starbucks opened its doors in 1971, the Siren has been the brand’s enduring logo that invites customers inside its stores across the world. Today, even as the smiling Starbucks barista hands over your handcrafted beverage, you see the iconic image at the center of the cup, a symbol that promises not just great coffee but also great moments of connection.
Taken from a Norse woodcut from an old maritime book, the two-tailed siren pays homage to the seafaring history of Seattle as a port city and the journey of coffee itself, which until now is often being transported across the seas.
This September, Starbucks reimagines the biggest symbol of its brand with the release of its limited-edition Anniversary Collection. Themed the “Celestial Beauty of the Undersea”, the artwork has ethereal qualities with the siren swimming in a sea of stars.
Before we head on to their anniversary collection, Starbucks Philippines is releasing three new featured beverage that will be available starting September 11, 2018 and it will be offered in limited time only.
Starbucks Flat White
Wow! finally! I've been waiting for this and that Starbucks PH will bring their own version of a Flat White. Their Flat White is a mix of perfectly balanced bold ristretto shots and thin layer of velvety steamed whole milk. I super love the espresso kick of a Flat White, this will be my drink and I hope that this will stay forever in Starbucks Philippines' menu.
Caramel Cinnamon Cookie Latte
Available for a limited time only, this latte is topped with fluffy whipped cream, sweet caramel sauce, and cinnamon and crunchy cookie crumbles which add hints of caramel, cinnamon and warm spice to complement its espresso base.
Cascara Cold Foam Cold Brew
Cascara, more commonly known as the husk of the coffee cherry, adds a unique boost to this revitalizing cold beverage with its complex and slightly sweet flavor. A fusion of flavors and textures, the cold brew is topped with a smooth layer of cold foam made from low-fat milk and cascara syrup and has hints of brown sugar and maple derived from the combination of the cherry and black coffee.
