Matcha frappuccino – my favorite

I discovered green tea frappuccino in Japan in 2004. There they call it ‘matcha frappuccino’ and frappuccino is only one of a thousand things the Japanese like in the flavor of green tea. I became an instant fan, too. Years later when I was in San Francisco I realized that (unlike Germany) they sell the green tea flavored frappuccinos here, too. During  my trip I visit Starbucks on an almost daily basis for the free Wifi and to work and blog. To my big disappointment I realized this year that the green tea frappuccino had altogether disappeared from the Starbucks menu.
It wasn’t until months into my trip that someone suggested to me to simply ask for that flavor although it is not on the menu. And amazingly, they still got it! What an insider tip. If you haven’t yet, give it a try some time. Soo good…
