Refreshers from Starbucks?

RissKay

Has anyone else tried and loved these things? I've only had the lime one and I'm addicted already... I may have to go back for another one soon....

Yes! I saw that when I went to look up and see what all was in them. Yay! Hello, Starbucks, I look forward to seeing you tomorrow!

One of the managers at Starbucks gave us a box of the lime kind today and I am addicted. I am going back tomorrow between 12-3pm for another free one! The manager at Starbucks told me that Very Berry Hibiscus was her favorite though.

CAREFUL with those. They are like an energy drink, apparently.

A grande (medium) has 60 mg of Caffeine. So, just remember to keep that in mind!

Btw, I still drink coffee every morning, so I'm not telling you to avoid them. I just thought they cleverly hid how much caffeine is in them in their promos.

Yeah, they're made from green coffee beans! Weird, right?

Yup, there is a lot of caffeine in them. But, hey, I'd rather have something like that than a cup of coffee cause I love the fruit-ness of it!  

Clever trickery, there, Starbucks. Clever.

I'm glad I saw this! I got an email about them and I guess I was so excited about getting a free drink I didn't even pay attention to the part that said there was green coffee extract in them. I probably would have thought they were caffeine free. That probably won't stop me from getting one tomorrow, though. :P

They were giving out free samples earlier this week at our Sbux of the Hibiscus Berry one and it was pretty tasty! I went through the drive through this morning before work and they had a sign they will be giving out free ones from 1-3 today! I may need to take a late lunch today....

I like the lime, but i'm not crazy about the berry hibiscus.

I wish I would have tried the lime instead of the berry one.  I went for the free one and I wouldn't say the berry one is bad but its not my taste and I won't pay $ for it.  I asked the barista about the caffeine content in the tall and he said it was somewhere between 30-50mg depending.

 I love passion tea lemonade.  I've heard trying the cool lime with coconut syrup is yummy.  I might try that today...

Got a free try of the Very Berry Hibiscus today and was disappointed. I expected a more fruity tasting tea, but it was very herbal. The Lime was slightly better. I prefer the chillers, smoothies, and frappes at McD's for my cravings.
