Food Reviews!

Maddie: I’m Maddie.
Evan: I’m Evan.
Charlotte: And I’m Charlotte.

Maddie: Today we got the Spring Starbucks menu. We have four drinks to try, and we’re going to rate them out of five.
Charlotte: This is the Lavender Matcha.
Maddie: This is the Blackberry Sage Refresher.
Evan: This is the Lavender Cream Frappuccino.
Charlotte: And this is the Iced Cherry Chai.


Drink 1: Lavender Matcha

Maddie: The first drink we’re trying is the Lavender Matcha.
Charlotte: This one doesn’t look that good.
Evan: I’m nervous for this one. I don’t like matcha, but let’s try it.

(They take sips.)

Charlotte: It’s not that bad. It’s sweet.
Evan: It kind of tastes like whipped cream.
Maddie: Oh, it does taste good! I was kind of scared for this one.
Charlotte: It tastes like a plant… kind of chalky.
Evan: I like it — it’s lavender and matcha.
Maddie: I don’t taste the lavender, just the matcha.
Evan: I feel like they mix together, but it’s more strongly matcha.
Charlotte: There should be more lavender since it’s the Spring menu. There’s not much spring-like flavor.

Drink 2: Blackberry Sage Lemonade Refresher

Charlotte: Next is the Blackberry Sage Lemonade Refresher.
Evan: I’ve tried this one before and I personally like it.
Maddie: It looks pretty!

(They sip.)

Charlotte: I can’t really taste anything, but it’s good.
Evan: It’s sour… kind of just tastes like lemonade.
Maddie: It’s really tart. You can taste the blackberry a little.
Evan: It’s a nice refresher. I thought it’d be stronger, but it’s good.
Charlotte: Strong lemonade flavor. I don’t taste the sage.
Maddie: Same — more tart than fruity. Still nice, though.

Drink 3: Lavender Cream Frappuccino

Maddie: Now we’re trying the Lavender Cream Frappuccino.
Charlotte: This one’s pretty!

(They sip.)

Evan: The lavender is strong, but it’s sweet. I like this one.
Charlotte: You can really taste the lavender. It’s a good spring drink.
Maddie: It’s sweet, but the lavender balances it.
Evan: If you like Frappuccinos, this one’s for you.
Charlotte: The whipped cream is sweet too — good combo.

Drink 4: Iced Cherry Chai Latte

Maddie: Last, we’re trying the Iced Cherry Chai Latte.
Evan: I can smell the cherry from the cold foam.

(They sip.)

Charlotte: It just tastes like chai.
Maddie: I can taste the cherry, but it’s faint.
Evan: The chai overpowers the cherry.
Charlotte: The top tastes like medicine to me.
Maddie: I like chai, but this would taste better with the lavender cold foam.
Evan: It’s too sweet for me.
Charlotte: It just tastes like sugar and chai — not enough cherry.

Final Thoughts

Maddie: Out of the four drinks, my favorite was the Lavender Cream Frappuccino. I like lavender and Frappuccinos, and it had a good balance. My least favorite was the Matcha — couldn’t taste the lavender, so it didn’t feel very spring-like.
Evan: My favorite was also the Lavender Cream Frappuccino — the whipped cream made it sweeter. Least favorite was the Cherry Chai — couldn’t really taste the cherry.
Charlotte: My least favorite was the Matcha. It tasted like a plant. My favorite… I’m torn between the Blackberry Sage Refresher and the Lavender Cream Frappuccino, but I’ll go with the Lavender Cream Frappuccino — it just tastes good.

All: If we had to recommend one drink, it’d be the Lavender Cream Frappuccino.
Maddie: We recommend it because it actually tastes like lavender — unlike the others, where the flavor wasn’t as strong.

All: Thanks for watching! Bye Chargers!
