Cool Days, Warm Beverages

Matterhorn Fan · 10-29-2005, 10:35 AM

I've noticed like 14 threads about pumpkin lattes, but what about the rest of us? What beverage do you reach for on a cool (or cold) day? Are you on the (apparent) pumpkin latte bandwagon? Do you prefer hot cider or made-from-scratch cocoa? Is there a special tea you like?

Currently I'm drinking Orange Spice black tea from Teavana. (I had Peach Oolong earlier, but the Orange Spice is much more winter/holiday friendly.)

Since I dont drink coffee or tea I'm sort of limited. But my fav would be a Warm Vanilla from Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. YUM-MY!!

Also, does anyone know how I should spend a Starbucks gift card? I don't drink coffee.

Last Christmas they had some cool games and CD's for sale. I have not seen any games so far this year, but there is always CD's and mugs and such.

The card isn't for nearly enough to purchase a CD. I guess I'll have to actually go to a Starbucks and see what they've got. And what's "chantico"? I've never heard of that. (Is that a "Starbucks" word? I don't know their lingo.)

I'm currently drinking Peppermint tea. Yes, I've stayed home all day in my PJ's and I'm on my third cup of tea. So what?

I also realized that all of the Teavana teas that I've liked enough to purchase tins for begin with the letter P. Peppermint, Peach Oolong, Plum Harvest, Pina Colada.

P.S. Does "Starbucks" have an apostrophe in it? Or do I really care?

Starbucks makes many other beverages, from hot teas, chai, apple cider, hot chocolate, iced teas and they sell sodas and food items. Or, you can gift one of the pumpkin latte fans here!

The pumpkin latte fans "here" are actually quite far away. But I actually got a bag of ground coffee that I'll be gifting to someone.

Chantico is a Starbucks beverage that is concentrated chocolate-y goodness. I think it's like drinking a warm, liquid brownie. $2.65 per small cup here. It's totally worth it.

Keep it in your freezer until you give it. It will keep it fresh.

And that's a good thing.
