Yesterday evening I step up to my nearest Starbuks shop to have a break from my head bumping office work. And what! Tea Latte! Not only. They have Black Tea Latte!!! Without thinking twice I ordered a grande.

I have tried almost each and every menu item there and was looking for something which can be giving a real good kick. I was fed up with the Chai Latte. Its true that there are so many people (may be entire India and lot of Americans) drinking this. But what the heck this spices doing in a tea. I say Nah!

If you ever had taste the thick red English Black Tea with milk (you need some practice to make the flavor thick), you will never go back to spicy Chai. May be you will say no to coffee too. I still enjoying the best tea ever I had in my life. It’s surrounded by misty mountains with lot and lot of tea plantation in Sri Lanka (Ceylon), in front of a beautiful waterfall. They serve hot black tea with milk. Ohh man! What a moment.

Now get back to Starbuks. With all of these sweet memories I had my Black Tea Latte from the counter. I was sooo much frustrated. What is this? Its like water and some sort of half boiled leaves. I don’t think Tazo tea is a good choice.
If you taste something serious, try to find some pure Ceylon tea.
