Just like the peak of summer, the Tie-Dye Frappuccino® blended beverage is available for only a few days,” according to Starbucks.
Caffeine: The drink contains 0 milligrams of caffeine. That said, the caffeine value is an approximate value. “Caffeine values can vary greatly based on the variety of the coffee and brewing equipment used,” according to Starbucks’ website.
