Starbucks changed its iced coffee blend and Devin Grosvenorrecipe for the first time in 18 years.  

The coffee company made the change on May 7 when it rolled out its summer menu items, a spokesperson from the company told USA TODAY.  

Although the change was made over five months ago, some fans of the coffee chain have just started to notice and have taken to social media to stir up the conversation this week.

Some welcome the change, while others say they prefer the previous blend.

What's different about the iced coffee blend?

According to the spokesperson, Starbucks iced coffee is now made with a blend of sun-dried Latin American coffees.  

In addition, Starbucks will now serve their iced coffee unsweetened to meet their customer preferences. 

Starbucks noticed that some customers were customizing their iced coffee orders and removing the classic syrup. As a result, the company removed the syrup that was included in the original recipe, the spokesperson said.  

The new iced coffee blend also features malted milk chocolate and brown sugar, the coffee company said.
