Starbucks Green Tea Latte

Starbucks tends to get creative by having different drinks at different times of the year.
As we are somehow approaching summer again (how did that happen?) we find the green tea making a comeback with Starbucks, and this time it is in the latte and….. Okay. Althought it has a vomit reminding green “creamy” colour to it.
It tastes heavier than the normal Starbucks latte, but not badly so. The green tea adds a bit of a tardiness to the overall taste pallette, but not in a bad way. If I have to complain about one thing it is the sweetness. Personally I think they would have done better by not having sugar in the green tea and rather let the bitterness (and maybe slight spinach taste) come out, but as they try to be mass compatible they rather add this to please the sweet tooth.
The scary thing was that I saw that people still add even more sugar to their drinks. Ugh.
