New Starbucks Tea Lattes

I'm a bit of a Starbucks addict, although I manage to keep my fixes to twice a week. Tuesdays I have my staple venti half-caf caramel macchiato, but on Thursdays I've been trying the new tea lattes.

My favorite of the bunch is the London Fog. I never would have thought an Earl Grey latte would be tasty, but it is. The black tea latte is just that--black tea. Nothing all that special but quite tasty if you enjoy your tea with a lot of milk. Next comes the vanilla rooibos. Rooibos has a good, sweet flavor, but it always has an odd aftertaste for me, almost like it has artificial sweetener in it, even when it doesn't. Last is the green tea, which to me tastes oddly grassy. And is super, super green...

Then there's the longstanding staple Chai latte, which I've always loved. Starbucks makes it with a nice, peppery flavor (well, actualy Tazo does, and Starbucks uses Tazo tea) that can really perk you up on a cold or dreary day.
