I’m a little surprised that I had to add Starbucks’ Matcha Latte to Steepster’s database…
Anyway, I found myself in the situation earlier in the week where I was out running errands and wanted to grab a tea, but had nothing with me to make one (very out of character) and wasn’t anywhere near a decent tea place. So, I went with Starbucks and just grabbed a matcha latte. How bad could it be?
Honestly, it didn’t taste bad – just vert typically, strong/bold grassy notes. However it had a ghastly mouthfeel. I swear, it felt like I was sipping on powder. Like, how much matcha must have been in that latte for it to feel powdery!? That’s definitely not something I’ve normally experienced with matcha.
I had a kinda similar experience a couple of months ago. I work at a university and was getting so tired and needed even just a little bit of caffeine. so, I walked across the “street” (historically, it was once a street [like several decades ago, my dad remembers the street being there] but the actual street doesn’t exist anymore, it was repaved and there’s places to sit and a huge fountain without any running water bc that fountain was a waste of water AND a breeding ground for mosquitoes, bUT I DIGRESS) and decided to go and get some kind of tea from Starbucks (it’s in a B&N, don’t know if that makes a difference?), also got a matcha latte and it just tasted like sweet/iced milk? I saw that it was kinda green, but didn’t even taste the matcha, but defintely felt the powder. it was confusing and 0/10 would not recommend.
My Starbucks go-to is an iced chai latte. It’s more sugar and probably not really tea but I enjoyed it.
@Annie- Someone told me that Starbucks inside B&N stores carry Harney and Sons brand of tea. So if you go there again you might ask. (:
^true!! I used to work at one. I drank so much Hot Cinnamon Spice during the winter….and their coconut green!
