FAST FOOD NEWS: Starbucks Teavana Lightly Sweet Chai Tea Latte and Shaken Iced White Tea

Teavana Lightly Sweet Chai Tea Latte

Starbucks is kicking spring off with two new Teavana Tea beverages — Lightly Sweet Chai Tea Latte and Shaken Iced White Tea.

The new chai tea is a less-sweet take on Teavana’s Classic Chai Tea Latte. It’s black tea infused with cinnamon, clove, and other spices that’s mixed with milk, liquid cane sugar, and ice. It’s also available hot.

A 16-ounce Lightly Sweet Chai Tea Latte Iced with 2% milk has 190 calories, 4 grams of fat, 2.5 grams of saturated fat, 15 milligrams of cholesterol, 100 milligrams of sodium, 31 grams of carbohydrates, 30 grams of sugar, and 7 grams of protein.

Teavana Shaken Iced White Tea

Teavana’s Shaken Iced White Tea is, according to Starbucks, “soft and delicate with a clean, bright finish.” Okay. Like all Teavana Shaken Iced Teas, they can be unsweetened or sweetened.

A sweetened 16-ounce serving has 45 calories, 0 grams of fat, 10 milligrams of sodium, 11 grams of carbohydrates, 11 grams of sugar, 0 grams of protein, and 20-25 milligrams of caffeine.

If you’ve tried any of the new teas, let us know what you think of it in the comments.
