00:00Hi, I'm Holly Alden, a food and drink writer for National World.

00:03Today I'm going to be taste testing four brand new drinks from Starbucks' Autumn range.

00:09Coffee number one that I'm going to be trying is the Pumpkin Cream Iced Oat Shaken Espresso.

00:15I'm super excited to try this. I love a pumpkin spice latte.

00:18I've never tried the pumpkin spice flavour with anything else though,

00:22and I do love an espresso, so let's give it a try.

00:26Delicious. You can taste the strong coffee blended with the pumpkin spice,

00:31and also it's really refreshing as well because it's iced.

00:34So yeah, a great new addition.

00:37Coffee number two is the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew.

00:42This one really intrigues me because although it's a pumpkin style coffee,

00:47the colour of it's slightly different and I've never actually had a cold brew, I don't think.

00:52So yeah, let's give it a sip.

00:58That's really nice, but it is very, very strong.

01:01I like the foam on the top. It's a little bit more than the other drinks,

01:06but it isn't as sweet as the espresso that I've just tried.

01:10I do like it though. Overall, it is still really nice, but it is better if you like a stronger coffee.

01:17Number three is not actually a coffee. This is a chai tea.

01:21I have never had a chai tea in my life. I'm a coffee girl through and through,

01:25so it's going to have to be pretty amazing to impress me,

01:29but it is still of the pumpkin spice variation.

01:33This is the Pumpkin Cream Iced Chai Latte.

01:36So as I love a pumpkin spice latte coffee version, let's see if I like a chai version.

01:46Oh, that is the best one by far. I absolutely love that.

01:50It is so sweet and light and creamy. It is absolutely delicious.

01:56This is my winner so far, the Pumpkin Cream Iced Chai Latte.

02:00I think this is going to be the biggest hit.

02:03And finally for drink number four, this is the Iced Signature Salted Maple Caramel Latte,

02:09which I haven't tried it yet, but I've had iced caramel lattes before,

02:13so I don't think you can really go wrong with this one.

02:16It's a good pick for someone who doesn't really know what they want.

02:19I believe, especially if you're looking for an autumn taste with something that isn't too extreme and different,

02:25because although I love the pumpkin spice drinks, not everybody does.

02:29So this might be a good option for those who are unsure.

02:32Let's give it a taste to see if I'm actually right.

02:38Yeah, I'd say so. It's got a lovely flavour, but it isn't too prominent,

02:45which just makes for a kind of basic iced coffee, but in a good way.

02:50But yeah, so after trying all four of the drinks, some of which are new

02:55and some of which are fan favourites that have made a return again for autumn,

02:59I have decided that the Pumpkin Cream Iced Chai Latte is my absolute favourite.

03:07So this one is actually a bestseller in the US,

03:10and it's the first time that the UK have ever got a chance to taste it for themselves.

03:14And I will say I absolutely love it.

03:18So I hope this one comes back every autumn.

03:21It tastes absolutely beautiful.

03:23And yeah, this might be my new favourite drink.
