Who doesn’t love freebies? Especially if our bff Starbucks is the one with the handouts, right? The new flavor-filled shaken iced tea infusions are definitely worth a try during their Free Tea Friday promotion.
Reading this after the promotion? No worries, I’m pretty sure you can still order them, or even ask a barista to help you order a very similar drink. Read on for all the facts.
As a former Teavana employee from back-in-the-day I had high expectations, and they were surprisingly far exceeded this time. This line is here to stay, it’s not just a temporary launch, and I’m pretty happy about it.
I have one of the sweetest tooths I know, and I don’t even need sugar to enjoy these guys. As I picked up my strawberry-infused green tea for the first sip, had my eyes been closed I would have thought I was standing in a strawberry field, it’s seriously that bold.
I’ve also read that you can mix and match your types of tea with your flavor infusions. if you like black tea but prefer a strawberry infusion? No worries, just let your barista know.
Prefer to mobile order? Starbucks still has us all covered. It’s as easy as swapping out your flavor infusion on the Order tab:
Teavana Shaken Iced Tea Infusions Nutrition
How healthy are these infusions? Probably some of the healthiest, actually, depending on how you order them.
You can eliminate the 11g of sugar completely by removing the liquid cane sugar on the Order tab. These teas are so bold you truly don’t need it! If you order in-store they’ll ask if you want it sweetened, and those cane sugar pumps are what they’re referencing.
Still hesitant to nix the sweetener all together?
Pro Tip: Order a tall drink the first time. Grab a Splenda packet and give your drink a sip sans sweetener. That’s what I did and ended up never adding the sweetener. They’re THAT good!
Shaken Iced Tea Infusions Caffeine
You know how I feel about green tea and Starbucks’ matcha, but I think I found a new afternoon order. With only 20-25 mg of caffeine in a grande they’re ideal for caffeine sensitive people like me. Plus, you can size up or down based on just how long work has been that day.
