Starbucks Korea is enhancing its coffee lineup with the introduction of a Flat White featuring a rich espresso flavor starting Tuesday.

Flat White has remained a popular drink at Starbucks globally, and Starbucks Korea is giving the drink its Korean debut in response to the steady demand from customers for a classic coffee experience with authentic flavors.

Flat White uses a ristretto shot, which is extracted quickly in a shorter time compared to a regular espresso shot. Unlike a caffe latte, which is made with a single shot of espresso based on the tall size, the Flat White uses two ristretto shots, maintaining the coffee beans’ deep and rich flavor while maximizing a smooth taste.
