What’s a PSL?
A PSL, or Pumpkin Spice Latte, is a coffee-based autumnal treat created by Starbucks.
Nicknamed the PSL after the three-letter beverage code written on the cups by baristas, it’s the unofficial sign that autumn is here.
Made with real pumpkin, Starbucks’ Signature Espresso, steamed milk and a combination of tasty fall spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves), it’s topped with whipped cream and pumpkin pie spices for that authentic autumnal taste sensation.
Why are Pumpkin Spice Lattes so popular?
The PSL is without a doubt Starbucks’ most popular beverage of all time. It’s estimated that sales of the PSL alone earn Starbucks approximately $500 million a year. Considering Starbucks’ annual revenue is $36 billion, this is quite a big chunk on just a single drink alone.
But there are three very simple reasons for this:
1. They’re super tasty
If you’ve never had a Pumpkin Spice Latte (...please rectify this immediately) then you’ve seriously been missing out.
A Pumpkin Spice Latte is a mix-up between all your autumn favourites and your much-needed daily coffee hit.
But you don’t have to just take our word for it, the PSL taste is backed by science.
Peter Dukes, then a product manager at Starbucks, led a small group in brainstorming a new drink to add to the coffeehouse’s fall espresso menu.
“We started with a huge brainstorming list and filled the wall with ideas,” said Peter.
The team filled the research and development space (a.k.a. the “Liquid Lab”) with fall decor and pumpkin pie to get their creative juices flowing before landing on the latte recipe that would change autumn beverages forever.
“There was a desire to choose a really unique name, such as the Fall Harvest Latte,” said Dukes. “We ultimately ended up landing on Pumpkin Spice Latte because the spices play a really important role in bringing out the flavours of pumpkin, while also highlighting the espresso in the cup.”
Science at its tastiest.
2. They're iconically Instagrammable
Even though the PSL was released in 2003, it wasn’t really until the advent of social media that the pumpkin spice craze really took off.
When Facebook and Twitter arrived in 2006, customers began sharing their love of the PSL online, and it took on an identity of its own (literally - it has its own X handle and Instagram account as of 2014 with thousands of followers).
“With the arrival of social media, it just took off on a whole new level.”
Peter Dukes, the creator of the Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks
Even today, both TikTok and Instagram are full of users sharing their seasonal sips, with more than 3,000 posts a day including the #PSL.
Visually, the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte is iconic. With its pumpkin-orange hue, topped with a mountain of whipped cream and sprinkled with that pumpkin spice goodness, it’s an eye-catching beverage.
And the Starbucks marketing team are quick to play up the PSL’s appeal online.
3. They have a seasonal monopoly
It’s been estimated that since its launch in 2003, 424 million Pumpkin Spice Lattes have been sold globally.
When the PSL is available in stores, it’s officially the start of autumn.
Starbucks have legit taken ownership of a season, with a seasonal monopoly thanks to the hype behind their product.
“Within the first week of the market test, we knew we had a winner,” Dukes said. “I remember calling store managers on the phone to see how the new beverage was doing, and we could hear the excitement in their voices.”
And (thanks to Starbucks) by the 2010s, pumpkin spice was everywhere. From candles and diffusers to bath bombs and bread, pumpkin spice now defines the autumnal season.
Why seasonal merch works
Seasonal trends give brands a natural reason to join the conversation. From pumpkin spice in autumn to festive gifting in December, tapping into what's already getting people excited can make your merchandise feel more relevant.
Seasonal merchandise can help you:
- Create timely brand moments – connect your brand with trends, events and occasions people already care about.
- Build emotional connections – seasonal rituals often come with nostalgia, excitement and a sense of anticipation.
- Increase brand visibility – useful products such as reusable coffee cups can keep your brand in the hands of customers and employees long after the campaign ends.
- Make gifting more memorable – a seasonal twist can turn an everyday promotional product into something people genuinely want to receive.
- Give campaigns a sense of urgency – limited-time or seasonal merchandise can encourage people to engage while the moment is happening.
The trick is to choose merchandise that feels relevant to the season but useful beyond it. Because while pumpkin spice might disappear from the menu, your branded coffee cup doesn't have to.
