Starbucks unveils Cherry Blossom Frappuccino in time for spring

(WGNO)- Starbucks is ringing in spring with a new beverage, the”Cherry Blossom Frappuccino.”   It will only be available until March 20th, the first day of spring.  It’s not a cherry drink though.  Starbucks says the drink is a delicious blend of strawberries and cream with white chocolate sauce and matcha drizzle topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of matcha.

The coffee company says the flavor was inspired by the pink cherry blossoms and the Saukura Blossom & Strawberry Frappuccino that’s already available in Starbucks stores in Japan.

The Cherry Blossom is Japan’s national flower also symbolizing spring, renewal and simplicity.
