How Does the Mocha and Coffee Zongzi Lineup Work?

Starbucks has released four Frappuccino-inspired zongzi for the Dragon Boat Festival, and one of them puts mocha and coffee notes at the center of the flavor. Pre-sales opened on May 4 at 198 yuan for an eight-piece box. The other three flavors are lychee coconut, salted egg yolk cheese, and oolong peach, sold with black or white tote bags.

The coffee-led variety, Moe Lemon Coffee Frappuccino Zongzi, combines espresso, oat milk, coffee coconut jelly, and lime cheese. Two popping candy dips, chili and Xinhui tangerine peel, are included for extra texture. The early bird package from previous years has been dropped, so buyers now choose only between the two tote bag colors.

As the Dragon Boat Festival approaches, major coffee shops are joining the holiday frenzy. Starbucks has once again launched its creative Frappuccino-inspired zongzi, offering four new cool flavors, paired with versatile tote bags, injecting coffee-inspired novelty into the traditional festival. From coconut and lychee to espresso, and salted egg yolk cheese, each flavor blends Eastern and Western elements to challenge your taste buds. Additionally, Starbucks has specially included two types of popping candy dips to add more fun to the tasting experience. Pre-sales start on May 4th, priced at 198 yuan for an 8-piece pack; the early bird package has been canceled, replaced by a choice between black and white tote bags. Coffee lovers, are you ready to try something new?
