From The Club
These drinks excite me as someone who’s a huge fan of matcha, pistachios, marshmallow cereals, and oatmilk. Starting off with Dutch Bros’ Marshmallow Dream reminds me of the Lucky Charms breakfast cereals I used to have as snacks when I was younger. As for MOOYAH and The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, I’m thrilled to hear that they created a matcha option on their winter menu for us matcha lovers. As for Ziggi’s Coffee, their pistachio flavor is one unique flavor to introduce to fans. I like having pistachios as a snack or an ice cream flavor, so I’m definitely trying them in latte and cold foam format.
