Prepare to meet your matcha

The matcha green tea Frappuccino Rhonda enjoyed at Starbucks Shinjuku Station has come stateside. They're also coming out with green iced tea and green iced tea lemonade.

The Greener Side of Frappuccino® Blended Beverages

We actually had it at the Starbucks inside Barnes & Noble in the Campbell Pruneyard about three weeks ago, but I had heard nothing since and thought maybe it was just a test market. This morning though, the Starbucks near work was decorated in green and it made Yahoo! News, so I guess it's getting a push.

Rhonda says it is too sweet; we think they added a shot of vanilla syrup or something to sweeten it up for the big fatties of America. Or it could be the barista at B&N messed up. In either case, give it a shot.
