This wasn’t so bad today? But when you’re ridiculously thirsty after having a sodium-packed meal (ugh), I guess anything will taste pretty good. I normally get the shaken iced tea lemonade with equal parts black, green, and hibiscus but the location I went to only listed this as an option for some reason. Yeah, it was sweeter than what I’m used to since I normally never add any sugar to tea, especially iced/cold brewed, but it wasn’t as sweet as expected.
The green tea base was more prevalent than expected. It had a slightly bitter bite which helped cut the sweetness from the lemonade. I could taste the peach and lemon equally, which was cool beans. Kind of expensive for what it is though, as it was over $4 for a grande. Like please.
I had a tall last week and it was perfect. Not too sweet, I could taste the tea. Now I wonder what would have happened if I ordered a grande.
You could always ask for a little less of the syrup. Try half sweet. I find anything more than halfsweet is too much for me too.
To me it tasted like there was definitely more syrup in there than should have been. I will have to try again and maybe ask for less pumps.
It’s possible they put in extra by mistake. But yes, if you get it at the right balance, it tastes quite nice :)
If you don’t like how something tastes, a barista should remake it for you or offer you something else. I don’t get to how to make most drinks until next week so I’m not sure how much syrup goes in (I want to know!) but that little thing got hammered into my brain today, and the very example was a barista making a drink less sweet for someone.
I didn’t try the drink until after I left the store. And I was with my mom so I didn’t want to have to walk back in to get the drink fixed. I will just remember to ask for it less sweet next time. And remember to try it in store :)
Wish I had read this before I had another green tea frap today.

3 pumps of Peach in a tall, four in a grande, six in a venti. Trenta doesn’t exist where I live, so if you’re in a store with that size you’ll have to wait until next week. ^^;
