After countless trips to Starbucks during our many, MANY home showings I have come to the sad realization, I just do not like their coffee. Which is so disappointing because hanging out in their comfy chairs while strangers walk through our house being all judgy-judgy… Starbucks has really become our sanctuary.
With it being hot I tried a lot of their cold coffee choices. I wanted to avoid their dessert drinks because of how often we were there. I had their iced lattes, Americanos, flavoured lattes…
The last time we were there I even tried their iced caffe mocha. Nope. Did not enjoy them. Starbucks coffee is just too damn bitter for me and harsh. If the only thing that smooths it out enough for me to enjoy is heavy dream and caramel syrup? No thanks. Bummer!

So I could not take it anymore. I thought, OK, coffee is not for me but what about iced tea? I ordered Teavana Shaken Blackberry Mojito Iced Tea Lemonade.
Gone! Absolutely delicious and refreshing. No hidden ginger, cinnamon or green tea. Just a beautiful cold drink that actually tasted like tea and blackberries. Thank goodness!
Because the house-selling game isn’t over yet, I am sure there are more trips to Starbucks ahead. At least I finally found a beverage that I like that takes the edge off a very challenging situation.
Funny I hated that one .. think it was the licorice undertones.
Have you tried their Blonde Roast???
No way! That’s too funny Janet and no, never tried their blonde roast. Can they use that in their iced coffees? That would definitely be a better fit.
I only drink their chai tea lattes, hot and iced. Usually half sweet. Heaven in a cup!
So glad you found a drink you love! I couldn’t taste the tea in the chilled tea lattes so that kind of put me off but then hey, lots of people love their coffee.
I agree with you about Starbucks coffee. I can’t drink it. But I do like their chai tea lattes.
You too Debra?! I’m telling you, their tea is awesome, LOL. Who knew?!
Man, I can not drink their coffee either, I get a major upset tummy immediately following one of their coffee beverages. I love coffee and can drink many different brands but Tim’s and Starbucks are painful (and yucky). ~Rana
