I learned to drink tea in Singapore which is more a tea drinking country. Living there for five years, I picked up the habit. More so when my family and I visited Cameron Highlands, a town 4-hours away from Kuala Lumpur which boasts of acres and acres of tea plantation and home also to Boh tea, Malaysia's tea brand.
I got accustomed to drinking real tea -- hot or cold -- that I didn't enjoy powdered iced tea found in the Philippines. After all, these powdered iced teas have more sugar than 'tea' in them. And so I'd go out of my way to make my own iced tea or get 'real iced teas' like Sola. They have the 'real tea' tastes only 'real tea' drinkers can appreciate.
Previously, Starbucks doesn't offer much drinks apart from their coffee drinks. When meeting (different) clients in Starbucks all day, I cannot be ordering coffee all the time so I'm just glad Starbucks started offering real iced tea in Tazo black tea.
My favorite is Tazo black tea mango (although Starbucks only offer two flavors I think, mango & peach). Tazo tastes a little bitter to my liking and it has the grainy mouthfeel left on your teeth while drinking compared to Sola -- a typical characteristic of a stronger black tea.
So when you're in Starbucks and you don't fancy ordering any of their coffee drinks, grab a bottle of Tazo and enjoy 'real iced tea'.
I am more of a tea drinker than coffee drinker, I like tea but i am not that much addicted to it like other people.
