Starbucks Refreshments

I'm not really a coffee person and I do not regularly hang out at these kinds of places. I'm most certainly not a social climber, too. It's a joke/brand people make to label those who spend time at places, like Starbucks, to be acquainted to those who have a higher social status. For what it's worth, I don't really care. There's a lot of people who genuinely enjoy what the shop has to offer.

My boyfriend and I regularly visits Starbucks (in SM Annex, Davao) because he's comfortable in studying there while I love the staff and the place. I simply love how they enthusiastically greet all the customers that enter the door. Secondly, they never fail to amaze my boyfriend with their brews and blends. I, myself, have a lot of taste-testing to do.

When I still have my school papers, I'd usually stay at coffee shops to stay awake all through the night. Coffee + Internet connection = accomplished school tasks and caffeine overload. Now, I'm just waiting for my graduation, I don't have paper works anymore but I still come to the place but I tried to lessen my coffee intake. No more sleepless nights but I still get to enjoy Starbucks' ambiance. 

When I blog, watch series or just accompany my boyfriend while he's studying, I get to enjoy being at the place. Since summer has officially started, for me, I've been  trying out their refreshments and I hope Cool Lime can be available really soon.

School's over and summer is here. Therefore, I shall be enjoying refreshments at my favorite Starbucks branch. I don't know what's with me these days but I enjoy a mixture of sweet and sour drinks. I've been inclined with ordering berry flavored beverages and what I love about Starbucks take on these types of drink is that the real fruit is being used. I'm loving Starbucks' summer refreshments :)

Starbuck's Iced White Chocolate Mocha

I cannot remember the day I married coffee. Or met Starbuck's? What I know now is I crave for them and I need it in my system especially when I can't sleep or even when I'm doing something to try to get some sleep. Caffeine does not work on me.

A good companion for tonight while watching Gossip Girl (better late than never) is Starbuck's white chocolate mocha. There's just a time when you're in no mood for brewed coffee or even frappe. A refreshing concoction of espresso, milk and chocolate is the best alternative.

Its standard recipe is very sweet with a slightly bitter taste. That's the beauty of being able to customize your drink. You may ask to lessen the sweetness level and voila! A taste adjusted for your taste.

If  you want a product description or nutritional information, look at this link. Ciao for now! Relaxing the Starbuck's way. Sipping your comfort drink in a cup. Good night sweeties! :)

Starbuck's Verry Berry Hibiscus

For a Thursday, I get to be dismissed in class by 2:30 pm. I do not consider going home for  I'd be doing nothing but play with my  Ipod touch and so I thought of dropping by at SM City Davao. It's quite late for lunch but too early for dinner so peeping in at Starbuck's and seeing what I can get was my next decision.

If one craves for coffee, who would miss considering Starbuck's? It has one of the most finest frappes (that I love, oh so much!) and delightful sweets. However, I did not really intend to go for a cup of coffee earlier today but it's a good thing they also offer refreshments. And with that, I had this Verry Berry Hibiscus accompany me home. It tastes perfect with potato chips (proven!).

This drink's taste has a mixture of sour (more like citrus) and light sweetness in it. Talk about something new with Starbucks. What ticks my curiosity is the bitter aftertaste it leaves in my mouth.  Later on (through the help of internet), I found out that it was a concoction of  blackberries, hibiscus and green coffee extract.

I suggest that you try this real fruit juice with whole black berries in it. They (Starbucks) said that it's perfect if you want to be refreshed and re-charged the low-calorie-way. It's nutritional information can be found here: Very Berry Hibiscus

There they are. The whole black berries. Cheers and stay refreshed everyone! :)
