At Starbucks they use a mix (I ask for no water), but at home just brew the tea strong in a little water and add steamed milk. I think you can just steep the tea in steamed milk too, although I haven't tried it!

Yes, it's delicious! Chai lattes seem to be the most common here in the states, but you can make them with any tea. My favorite is called a London Fog, an earl grey tea latte. So much better than coffee!

It is a chai latte with an espresso shot (or two) in it. YUM.

Not to mention the drop bears that live in them...

I'm highlighting this post for a couple reasons:

"Australians are terrible coffee snobs."

Well, you guys needed to latch onto something to be proud of. At least you picked coffee rather than your own long history of racism, like America did.

Don't forget the trees... lemon-scented eucalypts aren't called "widowmakers" for nothing.

Australians are terrible coffee snobs.* The cackling delight taken in watching Starbucks go out of business because they had the temerity to open in the heart of Coffeesnobville really suggested that we have some deep issues. That said, I went into a Starbucks once and they were selling green tea with whipped cream…

I think they add water to it. I've learned to order my chai with "no water," because it tastes like warm watered down soy milk with a hint of chai if I don't :(

You seem to be confusing "thinking its difficult" with "truly not caring enough to even try."

Honestly, if I went into Starbucks and ordered anything other than my sugar bomb (Caramel Frap with extra caramel drizzle because if it's fucking dessert, it's fucking DESSERT), the baristas would look at me and laugh in my face because really? Do you even know what you are ORDERING, missy? And I would slink away in…

Fuck me. I serve coffee at a Barnes & Noble Cafe that serves Starbucks Coffee, and I fully expect some assholes to order this over the weekend. (I only work Saturday and Sunday.) WE ARE NOT A STARBUCKS. SOME OF OUR PRODUCTS ARE DIFFERENT. WE ARE NOT NEARLY AS PRETENTIOUS. DO NOT ORDER THIS SHIT AS YOU WILL GET A…

HAH! For reals.

I work at Starbucks so I'll try to explain the weirdness. The flat white uses an extra espresso shot and the shots are also ristretto (less water more coffee) and the milk is whole rather than two percent. The "micro-foam" means that the milk is aerated for 3 seconds rather then 4-6 for ideal "latte art foam." They…

Wait, you don't have flat whites OR haberdasher's fuckeries in America??

Haberdasher's Fuckery.

We have the name. We have the technology. We can built it.

I just need you folks to decide what it is.

as someone w a flat white ass this is super rude

No lie, I almost thought it called "Flat White Ass," and I thought, why would anyone eat that?!?!

One vote in favor of calling it "Haberdasher's Fuckery"!
