Starbucks is back with another limited-time announcement. Starting July 29th, fans can enjoy the sweet and juicy taste of raspberry with the new Raspberry Cream Cold Brew for a limited time. This long-time fan favorite flavor can be enjoyed as a beverage customization for a variety of Starbucks beverages or ordered in a whole new way with the new Raspberry Cream Cold Brew. The Starbucks team has developed this new signature beverage with a lot of thought, featuring a frothy layer of raspberry cream cold foam that complements the smooth, bold taste of Starbucks’ classic cold brew.

The Raspberry Cream Cold Brew is sweetened with vanilla syrup, which balances the raspberry notes in the cold foam for a perfectly smooth, vibrant, and flavorful pairing. Available in Starbucks stores nationwide starting Tuesday, July 29th, the raspberry syrup will only be available for a limited time, so try to enjoy it while you can. The returning favorite raspberry syrup not only tastes delicious in coffee, such as layered into a white chocolate mocha or blended into cold foam, but it’s also a great addition to a refreshing iced tea. Starbucks recommends ordering an Iced Green Tea with added raspberry syrup for a refreshing combination of raspberry and iced green tea blended with mint, lemongrass, and lemon verbena.

Following the first-ever Starbucks Global Barista Championship, Starbucks Baristas posted a pair of videos answering the most popular questions asked by coffee fans.

In these videos, these two Starbucks champions shared four key fundamentals for perfect coffee: Grind, water, proportion, and freshness.

First and foremost, these Starbucks baristas agree that understanding these four fundamentals is a key "blueprint" for brewing the best possible cup of coffee. The first fundamental is your coffee grind, which refers to the size and consistency of ground coffee beans. The grind of your coffee beans correlates to the brewing method to ensure proper taste. The second fundamental is your water, which refers to the quality and temperature of the water you'll use to brew your coffee. The baristas agree that coffee brews best with clean, filtered water that is about 195 to 205 degrees Fahrenheit.
