Iconic breakfast meets favorite drink
Beef jerky has been a delicious and healthy breakfast substitute for many people. According to website Golden Valley Natural, the breakfast delight contains no preservatives, is minimally processed, high in protein and is low in fat.
The breakfast substitute is said to be a fine source of protein, especially for health-conscious individuals. Golden Valley Natural said that it is often mixed with eggs, chicken or fish.
The new Starbucks drink, as People Food described, is topped with sweet honey foam layers. Ingredients include pink peppercorn and pepper nitro, then comes to beef jerky slice with a bamboo skewer just above the cup.
The report said the coffee is a combination of sweet and salty, perfect for drinkers to start off the day. Customers can start heading over to selected Starbucks stores to try this.
Pepper nitro
What coffee drinkers get from this new Starbucks product is beef meat literally blended with the morning cup.
The coffee base, according to People Food, is pepper nitro cold brew. The pepper nitro brew consists of coffee beans taken from the Democratic Republic of Congo. The beans are cultivated by farmers living by a large lake in the eastern region of the country.
The coffee beans from these trees naturally have the sweet and spicy tones, according to the report.
Starbucks chose this coffee base to pair with the beef jerky as it is a “sweet and savory” combination with black pepper syrup, People Food noted further.
The new drink has been offered in stores since the 31 July 2017, and is a limited edition coffee. Customers can get this new coffee drink by Starbucks in selected stores only, the report noted.
