Almost everywhere in the world Starbucks customers can order a Caramel, Mocha, and Coffee Frappuccino® blended beverage. But did you know you can order a Red Bean Green Tea Frappuccino® blended beverage in China or an Algarrobina Frappuccino® blended beverage in Peru? Below are some unique, international Frappuccino® blended beverage flavors that reflect the diverse palates of Starbucks customers globally.
Asia Pacific & Japan – Coffee Jelly Frappuccino® blended beverage: Three delicious textures add up to pure pleasure – coffee jelly, made from actual brewed coffee is topped with the creamy Starbucks® Coffee Frappuccino® blended beverage and whipped cream.

Japan & Asia Pacific – Hojicha Frappuccino® blended beverage with Earl Grey Jelly: A unique combination and an unexpected blend of east meets west.

The Hojicha Frappuccino® blended beverage with Earl Grey Jelly was introduced in 2012 for a limited time.
UK – Strawberries & Cream Frappuccino® blended beverage: The Strawberries & Creme Frappuccino® blended beverage is a core flavor in the US, but it originated in the UK.

In the US, the strawberries are blended together with the milk and ice.
