Fruit Waste Cafe Drinks

The Starbucks Japan Banana Brulee Frappuccino is a limited-edition drink being added to the brand's menu to provide consumers with a sweet treat to enjoy this spring or summer that doesn't skimp on its sustainable recipe.

The drink is reported by the brand to have a flavor profile that perfectly mimics that of a ripe banana with a touch of bittersweetness thanks to burnt sugar motes throughout. This pays homage to the drink's namesake dessert inspiration, while the incorporation of almond milk and caramel sauce further enhance the flavor complexity of the beverage.

The Starbucks Japan Banana Brulee Frappuccino is crafted with ugly bananas that aren't suitable for retail and would otherwise go to waste to give the drink a sustainable ethos.
