starbucks

and it has absolutely nothing to do with pumpkin.

I have recently been talking about the decline of PSL and the rise of a variety of other fall flavours. ( we are looking at you, salted caramel!) and it seems that even Starbucks corporate is aware that its golden child is losing popularity!

the toasted graham latte, as the new drink is called, features a graham cracker-and-sweet cream base that is, of course, mixed with steamed milk and espresso ( otherwise it would not really qualify as a latte) 

the drink is then finished with flourish of crushed cinnamon-flavoured graham cracker crumbs. from the official description- passed on to the public recently in a company press release — it sounds like this latte has all the flavour of childhood after school snacks with an adult- friendly hint of caffeine of course. and the new drink isn't just being presented like any other Starbucks concoction- the TGL ( yes, i have already been abbreviating it) is also served in the new fall cups, covered in a design of pretty and seasonally appropriately yellow- and - orange leaves, which will be “monogrammed” with customers names in coordinating orange markers. 

In other Starbucks news this week , the company finally finished that nationwide rollout of their mobile pay app. so latte lovers across the country can now skip the line if they want to try the new beverage ASAP! 

as people who love pumpkin, but are also a little over the PSL , we have to say cheers to the new fall latte! and heres to hoping that all those decorative monograms get spelled correctly.
