Starbucks' Matcha Green Tea Latte

This post is a warning for those who might have the bright idea to try something new at Starbucks. Because yes, against my better judgment, we went to the local Starbucks this weekend. My wife suggested that I go for something seasonal, instead of keeping it safe and just having tea. I don't like tea with milk, something they always add in their special menu teas. I don't like Starbucks much in general in fact, I find some items on their menu tolerable, that's it. But I followed my wife's advice, again, against my better judgment. And I ordered a Matcha Green Tea Latte. The horror, the horror. Never drank anything so vile. As I explained to her when she asked for a review: "I can brew the same thing at home. I just need to mow the lawn, then throw the grass in boiling water." Wolfie found it so funny that he could not dirnk his hot chocolate without spitting it. So I think it deserves to be a new great unknown line. And keep away from Starbucks and their Matcha Green Tea Latte.

New (Expected) Sign of Halloween

 God knows how much I don't care about Starbucks, as I am no coffee drinker. But my wife loves it. That said, I am now ready to make peace with Starbucks. They are okay in my book. Because for the company, autumn is already here and so is the Halloween season. We went there two days ago, at my wife's request, and of course they are already selling their trademark Pumpkin Spice Latte. I will not drink any, because coffe is not my thing, even if it tastes of pumpkin and spices and all things nice. But it is autumn in Starbucks, they have Jack O'Lanterns on display, they are in the right spirit. So yeah, from now on, Starbucks is family to me.
