Where is the GreenTea in Green Tea Frappuccino
The first time I tried Starbuck’s green tea frappuccino I wasn’t impressed. It tasted like bland green tea flavored bubble gum. I forgot why I bought a second one since I disliked the first one so much, but the second one was more like it. The green tea flavor was strong, and it tasted almost like green tea ice cream. I was exhilirated to find my official summer drink.
At that point I was convinced the barista who made the first one didn’t make it according the formula.
And then I tried the third, fourth,.. so on. Now I know the true story. The second one was abnormal. All the others I had didn’t taste anything like green tea. I don’t know what impulses me to keep buying and getting disappointed. I mean, now i’m obsessed with finding the ‘right’ green tea frappuccino. Isn’t that crazy? I’ve turned Starbucks addiction into Lottery consumption. I pay a daily due hoping for hitting the jackpot.
I can’t wait to go back to Seattle to test it out. I still believe that Seattle Starbucks has the best standard. I still believe…





Stop wasting your time (and $$) on those green tea fraps (even the Seattle ones suck). Try the iced green tea lemonade instead.

Yeah I haven’t had a chance to try the green tea lemonade. It is healthier isn’t it? The iced shaken green tea is really refreshing too, and no added sugar!
