<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve consumed two Starbucks Iced Pineapple Matcha Drinks so far, and I\u2019m considering picking up a third.<\/p>\n
That might make you think I\u2019m giving this new spring beverage from the coffee chain my seal of approval, if I had one. But even if I did, I wouldn\u2019t give this drink one. I\u2019ve had two because, after the first one, I wasn\u2019t sure how I truly felt about it. Even after the second, I\u2019m still confused.<\/p>\n
The beverage features flavors that I enjoy separately \u2014 matcha green tea, pineapple, ginger, and coconutmilk, all of which are shaken with ice. But when they come together in a #5 plastic Starbucks cup, I can\u2019t help but think its flavor is weird.<\/p>\n
Now that sounds bad, but I have to admit, I think my taste buds like that weirdness. Why do they? I don’t know.<\/p>\n

Starbucks\u2019 Iced Pineapple Matcha Drink is unlike anything I\u2019ve ever tasted before. The matcha and pineapple are the most notable flavors competing for your taste buds, and to be honest, they are strange cupfellows. I\u2019ve never come across the combination before among the dozens of matcha-flavored products I\u2019ve had over the years.<\/p>\n
The coconutmilk enhances the flavor of the pineapple, giving the whole drink a pina colada undertone. As for the ginger, it\u2019s light and not noticeable with every sip. I\u2019m not sure why it\u2019s there.<\/p>\n
While I liked the beverage, my wife didn\u2019t, and I feel its flavor is unusual enough that many others besides her will not enjoy it. Even if you love matcha, which my wife does, it doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019ll fall in love with this.<\/p>\n
With that said, if a mashup between a matcha latte and a virgin pina colada sounds intriguing to you, then give Starbucks\u2019 Iced Pineapple Matcha Drink a try.<\/p>\n
