Team PSL Varsity Jacket celebrates the fans that made Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte the iconic beverage it is today.&nbsp;

Starbucks first introduced the Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL) on October 10, 2003, and over the past 20 years, it has ignited a cultural movement around the love of all things pumpkin spice and fall. To celebrate the community and fans that made the Pumpkin Spice Latte what it is today, Starbucks has teamed up with KidSuper – a creative collective founded by Brooklyn-based artist and designer, Colm Dillane, for PSL's 20th birthday on Oct. 10 to create the limited-edition Team PSL Varsity Jacket.&nbsp;

Inspired by the cozy comfort that comes from a cup of Starbucks PSL, and the creative vision of Colm Dillane, the Team PSL Varsity Jacket features Dillane’s signature use of bright, bold designs and merges fall-inspired designs and rich autumnal tones. As an homage to PSL fans, in an unexpected and heartfelt way, the liner of the jacket features the top expressions of PSL fan love through Dillane’s signature handwriting and illustrations, which include “Worth the Wait!”, “PSL is Love” and “Happy Fall”.&nbsp;

"Starbucks PSL is an example of how innovation and community can drive culture, and that’s exactly what motivates me in my work," said Dillane.&nbsp; "Partnering with Starbucks to design a jacket was an awesome experience. Through this collaboration, I was able to infuse my creative vision into a wearable piece of art, while capturing the essence of Fall and the PSL. I’m excited for fans of the drink to check it out!”&nbsp;

The KidSuper Studios + Starbucks™ Team PSL Varsity Jackets will be available to pre-order during a limited-edition drop at <a href="http://www.KidSuper.com/TeamPSL">KidSuper.com/TeamPSL</a> on Tuesday, October 10 (the official 20th birthday of PSL) at 8 a.m. PT / 11 a.m. ET, while supplies last.&nbsp;

First introduced in the U.S. in 2003, the Pumpkin Spice Latte is Starbucks most popular seasonal beverage and is enjoyed by Starbucks customers worldwide every fall. The PSL combines Starbucks Signature Espresso, steamed milk and the celebrated flavor combination of real pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove, for a seasonal sip that has spurred a cultural phenomenon. <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/stories/2023/psl-turns-20-the-story-behind-starbucks-pumpkin-spice-latte/">Celebrating its 20th year this year</a>, Starbucks PSL is topped with whipped cream and pumpkin pie spices, and is available hot, iced or blended for a limited time, while supplies last.&nbsp;&nbsp;

KidSuper was created by Colm Dillane. Although KidSuper is best known as Colm’s clothing label, he prefers to brand all of his creative ventures under this moniker. KidSuper is a creative collective that designs and makes clothes; paints and does art shows; records music; and makes films and music videos, all out of KidSuper’s Brooklyn space.

KidSuper is a platform for Colm’s abounding creativity, and its success has made Colm Dillane an unexpected reference in American fashion. Colm won the 2021 special Karl Lagerfeld Prize at the prestigious LVMH Prize, the 2022 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, earned both a 2022 CFDA American Emerging Designer of the Year and 2023 American Menswear Designer of the Year nomination, was inducted into the 2023 BoF 500, and became a new member of the CFDA in 2023. He’s also lauded amongst his contemporaries on 2022’s VOGUE Business’ 100 Innovators list and the HypeBeast 100 list.&nbsp;

Introducing Starbucks newest autumn beverage, Apple Crisp Macchiato, perfect for the arrival of crunchy leaves and sweater weather

There’s nothing like a fall beverage from Starbucks when you start to feel that little chill in the morning air. Ever since <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/stories/2014/starbucks-first-pumpkin-spice-latte/">Pumpkin Spice Latte</a> (PSL) first arrived in the autumn of 2003, Starbucks fall beverages have been the perfect companion for the arrival of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/LeafRakersSociety/">crunchy leaves and sweater weather</a>.

For nearly 20 years, Starbucks beverage teams have created new autumn flavors for customers to enjoy, whether it’s past favorites like the <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/menu/product/2122411/hot?parent=%2Fdrinks%2Fhot-coffees%2Flattes">Maple Pecan Latte</a> and <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/menu/product/761/hot?parent=%2Fdrinks%2Fhot-coffees%2Fmochas">Salted Caramel Mocha</a> or the returning hit and companion to the Pumpkin Spice Latte, the <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/menu/product/2123113/iced?parent=%2Fdrinks%2Fcold-coffees%2Fcold-brews">Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew</a>. This year, fall gets a new beverage with Apple Crisp Macchiato, available iced or hot at Starbucks stores in the U.S. and Canada starting Aug. 24 for a limited time, while supplies last.

“For many customers, Starbucks signals the start of the fall season and has inspired a cultural phenomenon around fall flavor and products,” said Raegan Powell, senior manager on the Starbucks research and development team. “Fall at Starbucks brings customers back to the nostalgic flavors of the season and our team used that inspiration to create a new flavor that celebrates those feelings of comfort and familiarity.”

Building on the popularity of pumpkin flavor, the team’s inspiration for an apple beverage started with the idea of the fall harvest. Pumpkins are popular, but it was clear that apples were another prominent flavor that the team wanted to explore as they started concepting a new fall flavor. In spring 2020, the team began testing and tasting a bushel of apple-flavored favorites, including apple maple syrup, apple cider donuts, and a variety of apple pies, cakes, and crisps.

While fruit and coffee are a new territory for Starbucks, the flavors complement each other well, with the creaminess of the milk balancing the espresso for a nostalgic autumn pick-me-up.

“Creating an ingredient with a spicy baked apple flavor was crucial to be able to bridge an autumn red apple to espresso,” said Powell. “Consider how well a delicious slice of warm apple pie pairs with a cup of coffee or how well the combination of Starbucks roasty signature espresso pairs with warm spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg.”

When the team was testing, people loved the baked apple flavor. “The number-one thing we heard when developing the ingredients was customers wanted more apple,” Powell said. The Apple Crisp Macchiato pulls inspiration from a wide variety of red apple flavors available in the fall season, including apple puree in the caramelized apple drizzle. The Apple Crisp Macchiato even smells like fall, with an aroma like fresh-baked apple crisp.

For the final recipe, Powell and the team landed on a macchiato (which means “marked” in Italian), made with steamed milk marked with Starbucks signature espresso. As a finishing touch, the beverage is “marked” again with a cross-hatch of caramelized-spiced-apple drizzle, resembling the lattice on top of a pie. If the hot version is like warm apple pie, the iced version is like apple pie à la mode, with the warm flavors of apple and brown sugar combined with milk and ice, and also topped with apple caramel drizzle. For the name, the team chose “apple crisp” for the beverage’s more apple-forward taste, and its brown sugar and cinnamon topping.&nbsp;&nbsp;

“We are hopeful customers will enjoy their Apple Crisp Macchiato, hot or cold, and feel comfort as they take on all that fall has to offer, says Powell. “No matter our customers’ traditions – football games apple picking, or trick-or-treating – the Apple Crisp Macchiato is bound to bring comfort in a cup.”

New food and beverage items are also in stores starting today. Learn more <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/press/2021/tgif-thank-goodness-its-fall-at-starbucks-with-the-return-of-pumpkin/">here</a>.
