The Red Bean Green Tea Muffin was first introduced last summer and features a muffin mixture with green tea powder and whole red beans.
The Frappuccino of the same name is also made with green tea powder and topped with sweetened red bean, a popular dessert in some parts of Asia.
It kinda makes you wonder why Starbucks doesn't make a Frappuccino-themed muffin or pastry for every new limited-time Frappuccino they put out. It seems like it'd be a pretty good gimmick. Caffe Espresso Muffin anyone?
