Nowadays, Starbucks would offer more than just the regular selection of coffee, considering that in the recent years they incorporated more variations from the choice of milk to, now, the choice of coffee beans.

Lately, they rolled out the Blonde Espresso for their daily grind, in tandem with their regular coffee blend. Blonde Espresso essentially meant that the coffee beans were not as darkly-roasted, giving it a milder and subtly sweeter finish. And for those who liked their coffee sweet, they could really try the Blonde White Chocolate Mocha (S$8.00 for Venti size) to get added sweetness. When served iced, the beverage turned out to be like having some Ben & Jerry’s ice cream — smooth and sweet.

Since the drink would already be on the sweet side, I thought it would make sense to request for a low-fat milk option. Also, if the default 4 pumps of white chocolate syrup would sound outrageously sweet, you could always ask for less pumps for a sugar-tolerant cuppa.
