With over 20,000 locations dotted around the world, Starbucks has come up with an impressive array of flavor concoctions to satisfy the caffeine cravings of its worldly patrons.
Visit Japan, for instance, and have your pick between a lavender flavored Earl Grey tea, a gelatin-infused frappuccino or a coffee topped with cream cheese.
China, on the other hand, is home to the Red Bean Green Tea Frappuccino: whipped up green tea with sweetened whole kernels of red beans scooped on top.
