Starbucks is marking the unofficial start of fall with a new drink — plus a few returning favorites.

The new iced apple crisp nondairy cream chai arrives Thursday, Aug. 22, as part of Starbucks’ fall menu, according to the Washington-based coffee giant.

The drink will appear alongside other menu favorites including the pumpkin spice latte — “Starbucks most popular seasonal beverage” for more than two decades, according to a news release.

So what’s in Starbucks’ newest autumnal drink?

“This beverage perfectly captures the taste and feeling of fall,” Rosalyn Batingan, Starbucks beverage developer, said in the release.

“We have combined creamy oatmilk with notes of cinnamon, clove and other warm baking spices from our chai tea to compliment the layered flavors of apple, cinnamon and brown sugar which are infused into the nondairy cold foam topping,” she said.

Other returning favorites include:

  • Pumpkin cream cold brew
  • Iced pumpkin cream chai
  • Iced apple crisp oatmilk shaken espresso
  • Apple crisp oatmilk macchiato

Available exclusively on the Starbucks app, coffee lovers can get their first sips of the iced caramel apple cream latte and honey apple almond milk flat white, according to the coffee chain.

Some seasonal treats will also make their way to the bakery case, Starbucks said:

  • Raccoon cake pop
  • Pumpkin cream cheese muffin
  • Baked apple croissant
  • Pumpkin and pepita loaf
