I am a tea drinker. I only drink coffee socially. While everyone is crowded around the coffee pot at work, I am steeping a tea bag. I usually have green tea in the morning. And I love green tea ice cream.

This evening at Sit & Knit, I already had an iced caramel macchiato in hand, when I spied the large sign for the new Green Tea Frappuccino. Matcha green tea with a hint of sweet melon.

Dang!

This will require a special trip to Starbucks this weekend.

    What's your green tea of choice? I'm looking for a good one to keep on hand at the house. -littlecabbage.com

    They have something remarkably similar at Panera as well. It's divine.

    At the office I drink the free-on-hand Bigelow green tea and at home I drink Republic of Tea green tea.

    How funny! I just read the same post at Little Things. And my hubby said he saw them at his Starbucks near Union Square in Manhattan.

    you would be better served to find a shop that sells green tea bubble tea, and ask for a blended one. The frap is o.k. but the bubble tea is better!

    At Java Wally's (RIT) they have a mango papaya iced green tea. I have yet to try it, but it sounds fabulous. I promised Brian I would pick up one for him on the way home.

    Just a warning - matcha is VERY stimulating. You might not want to drink it too late at night or you will be very awake.

    I got one the other day! It was delicious, though not quite strong enough for my taste. A barista suggested I order it with an extra scoop of matcha powder and half the "melon" syrup (what they use to sweeten it). Hope you like it!

    I saw a billboard for those today on my way to work. I'm definitely giving one a try this weekend as well.

    THEY'RE GREAT!

    It was my birthday yesterday and I usually don't go for the Frappuccinos, but I decided to splurge for a special occasion and tried this. It was great!!!!! I think you'll love it!

    :)!!!!

    Maybe I'm just weird, but I didn't like the green tea frap at all. I love green tea anything and after trying that last week I decided to steer clear of it in the future. But I also don't like the other frapps either, too sweet. So maybe that's the explaination? Oh well. Hope you like it more than I did.
