Starbucks brings back Pumpkin Spice Latte earlier than ever

The company announced the return of its iconic fall beverage in a statement released Wednesday. According to the news release, the fall menu will be available across all Starbucks locations in the US this Thursday, marking “the unofficial start of the season.” This year marks the 21st year in a row that Pumpkin Spice Latte has earned a spot on the fall menu since its debut in 2003. In addition to the returning seasonal items, the coffee chain has launched the new Iced Apple Crisp Nondairy Cream Chai.

Rosalyn Batingan, a Starbucks beverage developer, said, “We are excited to introduce the new Iced Apple Crisp Nondairy Cream Chai to our customers.” “This beverage perfectly captures the taste and feeling of fall. We have combined creamy oatmilk with notes of cinnamon, clove and other warm baking spices from our chai tea to compliment the layered flavors of apple, cinnamon and brown sugar which are infused into the nondairy cold foam topping,” Batingan explained.
