Starbucks is known for concocting some pretty intense seasonal drinks (we all remember the zombie and Christmas tree frappuccino), but now they have released a unique latte with notes of ...pine?
The new Juniper Latte is made with Starbucks signature espresso and steamed milk with juniper syrup and capped with velvety foam and a dusting of pine-citrus sugar.
For those unfamiliar with juniper, it is an evergreen shrub with berrylike cones on it. It is a part of the pine family. Here is a photo:
So how does this taste in a drink? Twitter has a lot of questions.
Has anyone tried the Juniper latte at Starbucks? I'm having a hard time imagining that pine flavour does much for coffee.

Love how Starbucks has started casually advertising a juniper latte as if anyone normal person (me) knows what juniper tastes like!

Having mixed feelings about #Starbucks #juniper #latte with Sage. I don't want to drink a tree. Will their next flavor be Pine Sap? pic.twitter.com/au0mTESr0w
