The Famous Frap Drink

Every Sunday my family, the two of my dogs and I always go to Starbucks for breakfast. It always got me thinking, what should I get for a drink? That question always occurred to me even though I always go there a lot of times. But one fine hot summer enticed me to get this wonderful drink, that I could have not wanted more than what I had. This frappucino drink was introduced few months ago, when it was summer time.

Are you feeling the heat this summer? Dying to take a cold drink that has the flavor and texture of ice cream? Then Azuki Frappucino should be one of your options to choose from. I had chosen this because of the advertisement on the window of Starbucks, which made me hungry for ice cream but wanted something liquid instead. So, I had the urge to try this new frappucino. This drink from Starbucks is one of their latest drinks that are on the advertisement everywhere. I did not know about it until I saw the advertisement on it in Starbucks, the name “Azuki” is very enticing for me to buy. From now on every time I go to Starbucks I always ordered Azuki frappucino, it always sastify me. Although, there are many other different types of frappucino I still prefer Azuki because the name is interesting too. I knew that Azuki means red bean in Japan.

In my case, I love red bean and the frappucino it self. I usually get chocolate frappucino but now when I discovered it, I always ordered that. The cream base Azuki frappucino just melts in my mouth and I love that soft feeling. Moreover, there is the rough texture where you don’t usually get from drinking frappucino. The rough texture is from the small sweet tasting red bean. When you first start drinking it you taste the sweet soft white cream then when you drink further down you can feel the texture of the bean and the cold melted ice mixed with the frappucino melting in your tongue. I think that it is the best feeling and perfect for summer time especially when can’t decide whether to get an ice cream or a cold drinks. I would recommend Azuki frappucino because you get the feeling of eating ice cream too but Japanese ice cream. When I drink this favorite drink, it really reminds me of eating “Igaro” ice cream which is red bean ice cream in Japanese and drinking mixed blends of ice and a lot of milk. You could rarely taste the milk and the whip cream on top. Red bean ice cream cleans your taste palate perfect for after meal. However, Azuki frappucino does have that aftertaste feeling which is creamy but light. Sipping on this while thinking of what kind of pastries that goes with it is challenging. I grabbed the Azuki right away and felt the ice running down my throat. The next thing you know, I bought that again and again for about 4 weeks in a row.

The presentation is not much because it is in a plastic cup which is ordinary. But the different thing about Azuki frappucino is that you can see the tiny red bean mixed up in the white frappucino which is attractive. Although, it is not as colorful as the others such as mango passion frappucino or the chocolate frappucino. For its price, it is not bad about P 145 for tall size Azuki frappucino.

Whenever, I can’t decide what kind of drink to choose in this hot summer, I always crave an Azuki frappucino. In my opinion it goes perfectly with the summer heat, while seating out on the veranda of Starbucks Podium having family discussion and sharing our thoughts about everything and anything.
