Starbucks Launches New Matcha Drinks and 2026 Fall Menu

Starbucks is expanding its product offerings through a combination of permanent ready-to-drink additions and the launch of its 2026 autumn seasonal menu. Throughout August, the company is introducing Matcha Latte and Strawberry Matcha Latte as permanent chilled beverages in UK supermarkets, with a recommended retail price of £2. Executive Nik Dhodi confirmed the range is rolling out across several European, Middle Eastern, and African markets, noting that consumers seek "balanced energy and great taste."

This retail expansion follows the UK debut of the ready-to-drink Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino, currently available at Sainsbury’s for £2.20.

In its cafes, the company will begin its 2026 Pumpkin Spice Latte season on Tuesday, August 25, starting one day earlier than last year. The fall menu features new beverages including a "Chaider" blend of chai and cider, an Iced Pumpkin Cream Shaken Espresso, and an Iced Pumpkin Cream Matcha. The company is also introducing Iced Banana Bread Latte and Iced Banana Bread Chai, which will remain on the menu after the autumn season. Returning items include the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew and Pecan Crunch Latte, while the food menu adds a Chicken Bacon Protein Pocket.
