I had a meeting today in Starbucks (I love that there’s one just downstairs!) and wanted to get something from there since we were taking up their space. So, I went with China Green Tips. I can’t wait until my Starbucks gets the loose leaf bags: http://blogs.starbucks.com/blogs/customer/archive/2009/12/28/full-leaf-tea-lineup.aspx But I’m not sure how soon that will be. :/

The lattes that I have gotten (Earl Grey and Vanilla Rooibos) both had loose leaf tea bags in them. I had never gotten Tazo tea before so I just assumed that they always did whole leaf bags. Vanilla Rooibos=yummy and would be great just on it’s own not in a latte.
rabbysmom, those aren’t loose leaf bags in the lattes… they’re dust and fannings. Regular old teabags, at least at my Starbucks. I had the EG one not too long ago, and it was definitely a garden-variety teabag. The loose leaf bags are the new pyramid-style sachets, like Mighty Leaf, with whole leaves inside the bags.
Pretty cool news, though!
This is good to know for “emergencies” ;)
These were silky bags just like Mighty Leaf
Oooh! Then maybe your Starbucks got them in early? All I’ve ever gotten was a regular old teabag in my latte, unfortunately.
I was actually surprised when I looked at the tea bags:)
My Starbucks (across Winston-Salem, NC) have been using the pyramid ones in the 3 lattes for a while… but apparently Starbucks is replacing the tea bags for the non-latte teas as well… though I’ve yet to see any of those tea bags.
Aww, you guys are definitely super-lucky then. The one on 35th Street and Broadway in NYC is using classic teabags, string and all.
