Hi,

Starbucks just launched their summer drinks and have these pearls to add to drinks. Are they kosher?

Pearls are fine but the refresher base has grape juice which is a problem.

Does that mean I can get it in my coffee or plain tea?

Correct. The pearls are fine. The drinks they typically come with may have issues.
