Starbucks to launch Banana FrappuccinosPosted Mar 19th 2006 7:54AM by Nicole WestonFiled under: Coffee, Fruit, Newspapers, New Products, America, Coffee shopsLast summer, The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, a Los Angeles-based coffee
shop chain and Starbucks number one international competitor, offered banana flavored drinks, including a Banana
Caramel Ice blended - their signature cold drink. The drinks were made with a banana puree and the chain stopped
selling the seasonal drink at the end of the summer. According to the New York Post, Starbucks is launching a very similar line of drinks
this summer at its US stores. The banana-caramel and banana cream Frappuccinos are already being sold at stores in
Australia and New Zealand. Though some people miss the Coffee Bean's banana offerings, it is safe to assume that the
fact that they are no longer on the menu is an indication that they were not entirely popular. Only at the end of the
summer will we be able to tell how the drinks did at Starbucks. The drinks are scheduled to be released in May.
