I just had this as a latthé from the store. I had a stressful meeting and decided to stop in “on my way” home (not really on the way, especially not for a $4 drink, but it made me happy). I chose this one on the suggestion of the lovely employee who has now, shamefully, seen me twice in the past five days.
I love this tea normally so I thought it couldn’t be a bad choice, and it wasn’t. As soon as she mentioned it was like a London Fog, I was in. I have recently become pretty hooked on Second Cup’s London Fog lattes, made so delicious by what looks like several pumps of vanilla syrup.
Anyway, yes. This was tasty, though mild. I left the bag in while I drank and it remained pretty innocuous throughout. The bergamot cut through the milk pretty nicely though I don’t know that I could taste the tea much. Of course, the vanilla worked well in this format. I don’t know that tea lattes are worth the carb-counting and insulin-dosing required of me for the milk when the milk seems to render most teas quite a lot less flavourful, but it’s a nice indulgence and this made for a good alternative without the generous serving of (delicious!) artificial sweetener-laden syrup.
