Tea for Two-sday ~ Starbucks Tea Lattes

Have you tried the new Tea Lattes or Tea Infusions at Starbucks? Starbucks is finally having TeaTime!

I've had a couple of the Tea Lattes and I definitely like them. There are 3 flavors - Vanilla Rooibos, London Fog (made with Earl Grey tea), and Black Tea. All are made with Tazo teas. There are also 2 flavors of infusions (Chai tea mixed with juice) - Berry Chai and Apple Chai.

Here is what it said on my cup sleeve tonight:

Oh Starbucks - I love you! Thanks for the excellent suggestion - LOL!

I HAD to show you what the tea bag looks like. It's actually good quality loose-leaf tea packaged in a special infuser bag, much better and larger than the usual tea bag.


I tried the London Fog tonight, but it did confirm for me that I am not a big Earl Grey tea fan. I had the Vanilla Rooibos the other day and really liked it. I normally drink my tea unsweetened and these lattes automatically come with sweetened syrup (either Classic or Vanilla depending on the flavor you get) - 4 pumps in a Grande. That is a little too sweet for me personally, so tonight I asked for 2 pumps instead. It was good and let the tea flavor really come through, though I might actually like 3 pumps of syrup. And I'm sure I could ask for sugar-free syrup instead. Starbucks is nice that way - making it any way I like!

I haven't tried the tea infusions so can't give you any thoughts on those.

Have you tried any of the new tea drinks at Starbucks? What did you think?

  5. I haven't tried them for the following reasons: I really don't like Earl Grey...or Rooibos. I don't drink my tea sweetened at all most of the time. I make better tea at home most days. Why I WILL eventually try one? I'm bound to meet a friend there, and will have to drink something!
