EaterWire: New Tea Lattes at Starbucks, Deals at Prespa

BUCKSWIRE— 2008 was all about Sorbettos and Vivannos, new breakfast sandwiches, and unifying its banana bread recipe for Starbucks, but there's even more flavor planned for 2009: London Fog Tea Latte; Black Tea Latte; Vanilla Rooibus Tea Latte; Apple Chai Infusion; Berry Chai Infusion; New Green Tea Latte Recipe (Water is being eliminated from the recipe, but they will steam matcha directly into the milk). Because, you know, it's about getting back to basics. [Starbucks Gossip via Eater LA]
