This month’s special items revolved around some new Teavana series, and I could not help but talk about how disappointed I was with their Chestnut Black Tea Latte.

At first sip, the drink tasted like some roasted tea with a powdery texture. Personally, I would prefer it to be smoother, so Starbucks probably did not nail it with this creation. Chestnut flavours were too subtle to coexist with the bitterness of tea though, to the point I wondered if I could save a lot more money by ordering a cup of English Breakfast latte instead.
