Question about Starbucks?

Question

Is there actual green tea in Starbuck's Green Tea Frappuccino or is it just green-tea flavored? I ask this because the Frappuccino tastes nothing like plain green tea. Green Tea alone has a very specific taste & I cannot taste it at all in the frap!

Answer 1

There is actually green tea in Starbuck's Green Tea Frappuccino. =)

Answer 2

There is tazo green tea in it, but also milk and ice and melon powder flavoring stuff.

Answer 3

Yes, there is actual green tea in a Green Tea Frappuccino.  If you want to have more of a green tea flavor the next time you order one, have your barista hold the melon syrup and add extra matcha (the green tea).

Answer 4

yes, its Chinese green tea... yuck its nasty...

(and a lot of sugar)

i work there

Answer 5

It's called matcha powder plus melon syrup to give it the flavor.

I never actually looked at the ingredients of the powder but frappes are not known for nutritional value. The flavor has little to do with actual green tea.
