Starbucks has rolled out its first-ever line of boba-inspired drinks in the US as part of its summer menu.

The three new iced beverages were released in May, two and a half years after Starbucks said it was conducting a limited test of beverages “made with coffee pearls.”

The new drinks, which all have lengthy names, are the Summer-Berry Lemonade Starbucks Refreshers Beverage, the Summer Skies Drink Starbucks Refreshers Beverage, and the Summer-Berry Starbucks Refreshers Beverage.

The drink all consist of raspberry-flavored popping pearls and a summer berries Refreshers mixture designed to taste of blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries. Unlike many boba beverages, which use black, oolong, or green tea as a base, none of Starbucks’ drinks actually contain tea.

I tried two of the drinks — here’s what I thought.
