Lunar Near Year, also known as Chinese New Year, is one of the world’s most significant cultural celebrations. Each year is characterized by one of 12 animals that appear in the Chinese zodiac with 2020 being the Year of the Rat.

To commemorate Lunar New Year, Starbucks stores in Asia and the U.S. are celebrating with customers with the introduction of a range of drinkware, Starbucks Cards, beverages and more, available while supplies last.

The roasted white sesame, caramel cocoa flavor of the coffee blends with the tropical aroma of pineapple and sesame fragrance. Covered with a brilliant dollop of whipped cream, a symbol of the bright good Chinese New Year fortune.

Fortune Chestnut Macchiato: The silky steamed milk is flavored with sweet roasted chestnuts, nutty and creamy, covered with milk foam, poured into a classic espresso to create a wonderful “mark”, and topped with a sweet sauce made from French chestnut puree.
