Earlier this summer, Starbucks announced that the latte would be made with real pumpkin and without caramel coloring. “After hearing from customers and partners about ingredients, we took another look at this beverage and why we created it so many years ago,” Peter Dukes, director of espresso and brewed coffee for Starbucks, said in a statement. “It was simple — espresso, perfectly steamed milk, warm fall spices with delicious flavor of pumpkin pie that reminds you of the cool, crisp days of autumn. It’s the Pumpkin Spice Latte our customers have loved all along.”
