Since Starbucks is widely popular here in the Philippines, we will be the fourth country to offer Starbucks VIA Ready Brew in the market. We will be the second country in Asia, with Japan being the first, to have this in all Starbucks branches around the Philippines. This is an exciting news for all Starbucks Coffee lovers because this is their “instant coffee” option that will not require any special equipment.

The Starbucks Experience can now be brought to anywhere and can be consumed anytime of the day. There are 3 varieties of Starbucks Via Ready Brew to choose from: Colombia, Italian Roast and Decaffeinated Italian Roast.
The Starbucks VIA Ready Brew will be available on mid-September 2010.
