Courtesy of Asian Starbuckses. The idea of green tea (matcha) and red bean (ankou) in a frappé might sound grim. But it's actually blooming yum!
There isn't any coffee in this drink, the matcha part is made I think with ice-blended green tea ice-cream. Topped off with sweet, nutty, mildly syrupy beans. It follows that Asian old fave rave: sweet drinks with bits of solid stuff in them. (See May's entry Taiwanese Grass Jelly & the Rise of Michael Bublé Tea.)
Make sure you ask for a spoon, as the 'extra-wide' straw won't suck up all the bits and you'll be left with a 'bean pudding' at the end. Defo worth a try, though. Also new: a Hojicha + tea jelly frap, that's next on the list!
