Spring Menu Blooms with New Starbucks Lavender Drinks
Starbucks has just launched a new line of drinks inspired by the lovely floral scent of lavender. The idea came to mind by a lead beverage developer for Starbucks, Patrick Penny, while riding a ferry from Starbucks headquarters in Seattle to Sequim, Washington – also known as the “Lavender Capital of North America.”

Penny and his team spent the day walking through beautiful rows of fragrant lavender fields, on what they call a “trek”, being part of their creative process to help spark ideas. “We have an abundance of lavender farms in Washington state; it’s a really beautiful floral and it smells amazing,” Patrick said. “We were in the fields cutting various stalks of lavender, smelling different varietals, looking at the flowers … trying not to get stung by bees.”

Soon after the trip, Penny began developing Starbucks new lavender flavor, which had been a popular request from Starbucks partners (employees) and at the original store in Seattle’s Pike Place Market. The flavor had initially had success at Pike Place and neighboring Heritage Market outlets, where a delightful Market Latte infused with lavender honey syrup was concocted by dedicated store partners in 2023 and received a lot of buzz.
Penny is looking forward to seeing reactions to the new beverages. “It was so cool to take that experience in the lavender field and turn it into different Starbucks beverages that I hope both our partners and customers will love.”
