Hong Kong coffee and matcha enthusiasts have reason to celebrate as Starbucks launches a vibrant summer lineup featuring innovative cold brew concoctions and Japanese-inspired beverages, available now across all Hong Kong and Macau locations.
The global coffee giant announced today the rollout of its seasonal summer collection, headlined by the new Strawberry Lemonade Cold Brew—a tangy, fruit-forward twist on the brand’s signature cold brew coffee. The beverage blends light cold brew with an acai berry base and zesty lemonade, topped with freeze-dried strawberry pieces for added texture and visual appeal.
“For those seeking a balance between coffee depth and fruity refreshment, this drink hits the mark,” said a Starbucks Hong Kong representative. The Strawberry Lemonade Cold Brew joins the classic Cold Brew and Iced Milk Foam Cold Brew as part of the brand’s cold brew offerings this season.
New Japanese Tea Series Adds Variety
Beyond coffee, Starbucks is expanding its beverage menu with a dedicated Japanese tea series. Two standout introductions include the Matcha Cloud Coconut Water and the Hojicha Cloud Coconut Water. Both drinks feature sweet, chilled coconut water as a base, topped with velvety matcha or roasted hojicha cold foam—a combination designed to combat Hong Kong’s sweltering humidity.
The tea series also includes classic options such as Matcha with Milk, Espresso Matcha with Milk, Hojicha with Milk, and Espresso Hojicha with Milk, catering to both purists and those who prefer a caffeine kick.
Exclusive Delivery Platform Offer
For customers ordering through food delivery platforms, Starbucks has introduced the Smooth Caramel Hazelnut Chocolate Coffee, exclusively available on foodpanda and KeeTa (grande size only). From July 28 to August 2, 2026, KeeTa users can enjoy a 15% discount when purchasing two of these indulgent drinks—a deal ideal for sharing with friends or family.
Availability and Pricing
The full summer menu is available starting July 21, 2026, at all Starbucks locations across Hong Kong and Macau, though certain limited-edition items may vary by store. The KeeTa promotional discount applies exclusively to the Smooth Caramel Hazelnut Chocolate Coffee during the specified period.
Broader Implications for Hong Kong’s Beverage Market
This seasonal launch reflects a broader trend among major coffee chains in Hong Kong: blending traditional coffee culture with localized flavors and premium tea offerings. As consumer preferences shift toward lighter, fruit-infused, and plant-based options, Starbucks’ summer menu positions the brand to capture both loyal coffee drinkers and health-conscious consumers seeking alternatives.
Industry analysts note that the inclusion of exclusive delivery platform deals signals an intensifying competition among food and beverage brands to capture the growing online ordering segment in Hong Kong. With summer temperatures consistently rising, such seasonal promotions are expected to drive significant foot traffic and delivery orders alike.
For those eager to try the new offerings, early reports suggest the Strawberry Lemonade Cold Brew and Matcha Cloud Coconut Water are emerging as early favorites among local food bloggers and coffee enthusiasts. Additional summer-related dining deals—including a free ice cream event at Lee Gardens and a buy-one-get-one buffet promotion at Kowloon Shangri-La—are also running concurrently, making July a particularly active month for food lovers in the city.
