Starting July 10, 2012, customers can discover an innovation in energizing refreshment with the introduction of Starbucks Refreshers™, a new line of beverages made from green coffee extract. Extracted from high-quality arabica beans, Starbucks Refreshers™ are an entirely new way to experience coffee – that tastes nothing like coffee. It’s Starbucks unroasted.

 

Starbucks Refreshers™ beverages contain green coffee extract, a natural source of caffeine, and real fruit juice to create a delicious, low calorie beverage. Green coffee beans are unroasted – resulting in a mild, fresh flavor while still retaining naturally occurring caffeine. Starbucks Refreshers™ have a mild, subtle taste unlike roasted coffee, making the handcrafted, VIA and ready-to-drink beverages a perfect option for customers looking for thirst-quenching afternoon refreshment.
