It's such a sunny afternoon and I'm having a cup of icy 'Starbucks Green Tea Frappuccino' while sitting comfortably on a sofa and utilising the speedy Wi-Fi access at Starbucks. I've always wanted to write a review about Starbucks Green Tea Frappuccino, but never had a chance, so I think this is the perfect time doing it while drinking the world's best green tea smoothies.
A couple of years ago, a friend of mine always got herself a green tea frappuccino whenever she visited Starbucks. I was a little curious and I once teased at her drinking a greenish and grassy beverage. I was wrong. My curiosity actually urged me to try it out, the first sip really surprised me, oh God, it's so creamy and rich, it's the most wonderful drink I've ever had in my life, I was impressed. I now have it at least once a week ever since the first try, and yes, I'm addicted to it. It's been an interesting habit rewarding myself the cool treat after working for a long week, especially perfect for our hot all year round weather, despite the overdose of cream and sugar. I won't hesitate to say that the refreshing feeling I got whenever I drink this is right up there with the time I had spending fabulous meals in a high-class restaurant in chelsea.
Starbucks Green Tea Frappuccino is indeed a Matcha Japanese green tea blended with milk and ice, topped with whipped cream. Melon syrup is also one of the primary flavors used. When you first try the green tea frappuccino from Starbucks, it's a little sweet and you don't taste any green tea, personally I think it's buried by the melon syrup. Therefore, if you're a person who prefers less sweet or more green tea taste, I suggest order it without melon syrup and whipped cream, ask for one extra scoop of Matcha green tea powder, double blend it, and it will taste fabulous. Give it a try. When I first did this, the girl behind me thought I was a weirdo, and the next time I bumped into her, she was with a Starbucks Green Tea Frappuccino without whipped cream in her hands, did she copy what I did? That makes two weirdos, LOL.
Besides the secret recipe, make sure they blend it well enough. My tongue once got hurt by the shaved ice, 'cause it wasn't blended completely. Everytime I see the incomplete blending job, I will request it to be re-blended, that's our right, it's the consumer's right.
Green tea is healthy, whipped cream is a nice touch, and Starbucks Green Tea Frappuccino is a complete enjoyment. So, if you ever wondered whether you should try the drink, prepare yourself and go get one, it's very addictive.

Awww, sorry to hear that.
Yeah, I heard it’s not available everywhere, but remember to reward yourself one when you visit Asia next time, it’s a must-try, you won’t regret. =)

Wow that’s looks tasty. Unfortunately I couldn’t find it in my local Starbucks. How sad

Believe me, the only beverage that I order from Starbuck is Ice Blended GREEN TEA Frappucino! Firstly, I don’t like taking coffee much and this green tea smoothies is the best ever. It doesnt taste “greenish” at all like the usual green tea drinks we find elsewhere. It’s more like drinking icy sweet tea with an OOMPH!

LOL, exactly Winston. That’s exactly what I was trying to deliver. It’s also the only drink that I get from Starbucks. Thanks for your comment.

I used to love the green tea frappuccinos at Starbucks. But since they changed them I don’t like them any more. They seem to have no taste, just sweet. They told me they left out the melon syrup and use sugar syrup now. I think the old way was way better. Now I’ll try making them at home. Tons of green tea powder on ebay.
February 21st, 2009 at 1:59 am
I hit up starbucks whenever i have the chance and the green tea frap. is always my pick!
March 22nd, 2009 at 8:27 am
Every time i come here I am not dissapointed, nice post
March 30th, 2009 at 2:16 pm

April 13th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
Yo Chris and everyone, next time u try this frappuccino make sure to ask for it with peppermint. Green Tea Frappuccino with peppermint. It’s just awesome.
Btw they sell it here in Mexico (the whole country not just the capital city).
Cheers.

Green Tea Frappucino with Peppermint? That sounds nice to me, I will definitely give it a try.
Thanks, Jc!
April 18th, 2009 at 4:59 am
They sound great! I hope they have them here in britian. I will check next time I’m in starbucks. Do you know how much calories and fat are in them though?? I really don’t want to get addicted if they are fattening, I need to stay slim, lol.
