With the Thomas Tuchel era upon us, I decided to try the brand new Starbucks x Harry Kane flat white to get a taste of what the England captain’s coffee was like…

00:00Hi, my name is Jack Marshall. I'm a digital food and drink reporter and welcome to another

00:05one of our review series. Now, I've done something a little bit different today, which is reviewing

00:09something which is affiliated with none other than England Captain Harry Kane. Now, as everyone

00:15will know, England got a new manager, Thomas Suckels, now in charge of the national side.

00:19We've got the first game coming up this Friday against Albania. And just before that, Harry

00:23Kane has teamed up with the global coffee chain Starbucks to release his own version

00:29of a flat white called Harry's Flat White, which features, and I quote, a hat trick of

00:33sugar-free vanilla syrup, espresso and oat drink. And it's launched in Starbucks stores

00:38across England until 30th of April. And so basically I just thought what better way than

00:44to kind of celebrate the start of the Thomas Suckel era and hopefully the continued success

00:48of our captain and record goal scorer Harry Kane than by trying one out, seeing what it

00:52was like for myself. Also on top of that, 25p from every cup of Harry's Flat White sold

00:56will be donated to the Harry Kane Foundation and to go towards charity partners, mental

01:01health innovations, and Bounce Forward to help support mental wellbeing initiatives

01:04across England. So it's going to a really good cause, which is always a nice touch as

01:09well. So yes, I headed down to my local Starbucks and grabbed one. And yeah, it was something

01:14very different. The oat side of things. I don't normally go for oat milk in my coffee.

01:19Not really a fan of it, but it was quite nice actually. It was quite subtle. The espresso

01:23was still coming through. That had a nice sharp taste. It was a sharper coffee than

01:26what I'd usually go for. I know people will be saying that I'm soft because it's literally

01:30a flat white, but yeah, I'm not really a fan of like really, really strong coffees, but

01:34it was nice. Like the hit, the hit of the sugar-free vanilla syrup was definitely something

01:39which I enjoyed. That was a nice touch as well. To celebrate this, there's a food artist

01:44called Michelle Sugar. I suppose that's nominated determinism in action. She created a portrait

01:50of Harry using entirely recycled coffee beans to mark the launch. Now, if that's not a peak

01:55celebration of this partnership, then I don't know what is. But yeah, enjoyed the drink.

02:00Hopefully I'll be enjoying the England game just as much. So yeah, come on England. Cheers.
