On a sunny-ish day in February, two of our editors headed to a New York City Starbucks location to taste the two new Starbucks lavender drinks, the Iced Lavender Cream Oatmilk Matcha and the Iced Lavender Oatmilk Latte. Here’s what we thought.
If it’s possible to bottle spring itself and pour it in a convenient iced coffee cup, Starbucks has done it with this colorful drink. Even before you try it, the Iced Lavender Cream Oatmilk Matcha looks like spring: The matcha-over-ice base of the drink is a bright green, as you’d expect from matcha, and the new lavender cream foam is a fluffy light purple topper on the top of the drink.
On first sip, you’ll probably get a mouthful of that lavender cream foam, which isn’t a bad thing at all: The cream foam (which is made with dairy) is sweet and smooth and tastes distinctly of lavender. Once you can get to the matcha, though, that springy magic starts to happen. The lavender foam perfectly balances the matcha flavor, so every sip is a creamy, floral experience. The oatmilk only adds to the experience, offering a little nuttiness that still allows

Opinion: Farmers Are Dropping Out Because They Can’t Access Land. Here’s How the Next Farm Bill Could Stop the Bleeding.
As a teenager, I distinctly remember my father telling me to not follow in the family business. I now know he said this to shield me from the many hardships farmers continue to face. America’s farmers, especially beginning and Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) farmers face insurmountable challenges, yet 87 percent of young farmers are dedicated to regenerative, climate-smart farming practices. Today’s beginning farmers are passionate about growing nourishing foods, diversified crops and building soil; yet because of astronomical real estate costs, most farmers are unable to purchase land on which to operate.
