Starbucks Korea will raise the prices of 22 types of tall-size beverages, including Americano, by 200 won each starting on the 24th, the company announced on the 20th. This is the first increase for tall sizes in three years.

A representative of Starbucks Korea noted, "Last August, we only raised prices for grande and venti size beverages, but due to rising exchange rates and costs, we have decided to raise the prices of the 22 tall size beverages that were not increased at that time."

The beverages whose prices are increasing this time include café Americano, café latte, Starbucks dolce latte, and caramel macchiato.

Some beverage prices will remain unchanged. Notable examples include dolce cold brew, Jeju malt latte, hibiscus blend, and Earl Grey. Prices for iced coffee in grande and venti sizes will be reduced by approximately 200 won.
