Starbucks launched a pork-flavoured coffee to celebrate Chinese New Year in China.

The video was filmed in Shanghai on February 18.

Starbucks China has caused a stir with its latest offering, the braised pork latte. It is actually Starbucks' new creation called the "Yearly Prosperity Savory Latte". According to the product details, it blends the flavours of Dongpo braised pork sauce with espresso, steamed milk, and is topped with more Dongpo braised pork sauce and pork floss, all for the price of 68 yuan (£7.5).

This limited edition beverage is part of Starbucks' Lunar New Year collection for the Year of the Dragon in 2024 and is available at 25 selected Starbucks stores nationwide.

A spokesperson for Starbucks China revealed that the Yearly Prosperity Savory Latte has been met with curiosity and interest from customers, with some even visiting stores specifically to inquire about the unique drink. Customers have described the flavour as uniquely rich and smooth.

One lady who tried the coffee remarked that it came topped with a piece of pork floss, with a slightly sweet and savory taste, although she couldn't quite discern the flavour of the braised pork itself. She noted, "Towards the end, it felt like there were bacon bits settling at the bottom," adding that it's perfect for the adventurous palate and those seeking a novel experience.

近日，星巴克臻选上海烘焙工坊推出一款红烧肉拿铁引发关注。
所谓的“红烧肉拿铁”其实是星巴克推出的一款新品——“年丰咸香拿铁”。商品详情页显示，其由“东坡红烧肉风味酱和浓缩咖啡融合，加入蒸煮后的牛奶，最后饰以东坡红烧肉风味酱和猪肉脯”，售价68元。
据星巴克中国介绍，“年丰咸香拿铁”是星巴克在2024中国龙年新春推出的龙年限定新品，属于臻选年味特调咖啡系列，其销售范围是全国包括上海烘焙工坊在内的25家星巴克臻选门店。

据星巴克中国的相关工作人员介绍，臻选年味特调咖啡受到顾客欢迎，还有顾客主动到门店来询问了解年丰咸香拿铁这款饮品。顾客反馈风味比较独特，口感绵密顺滑。

曾品尝过这款咖啡的一位女士介绍，咖啡上放了一块猪肉脯，偏甜咸口味，红烧肉的风味不太明显（自己没有喝出红烧肉味），“喝到最后好像是有沉底的培根碎”，适合猎奇，满足好奇心。
