Tazo Chai!!! My New Addiction!

So for the last 2 or so years I have really gotten into Chai... I am truly a huge fan of the Starbucks Iced Chai Tea Latte! I also drink the Boulder Chai Tea Latte as well made with Chocolate milk! I love drinking Chocolate Chais and Nonfat Chai Lattes as well! But what happens when im at home and I crave a Chai Latte but can't make it out to my local bux or coffee shop for a fix!

Well I found that My local Save-on Foods sells The Tazo Brand Chai Tea Concentrate to make my own Chai Lattes at Home and I am in L.O.V.E. with it!!!! The Product runs about $6.99 CDN and is a 1L Tetra Pack Juice Box! it makes about 6-7 (16oz.) Cups of Iced Chai from home! Here is what it looks like: Go Pick one up today and Try it!

ENJOY!!!

(The Barista(s) who served you)
Barista Score: 10/10
Barista Comments: I was served by an amazing Barista at this location. I did not get her name but I should have... I definately will next time! She stricked up a nice coversation with me and called my drink by my name. I used my own personal cup she even had nice comments to say on the type of drink I ordered and thanked me twice when leaving hoping that I would be back and I for sure will! This lady whoever she is should be an model example of how all Starbucks Baristas should present themselves all the time at every store!

(The drink you ordered)
Beverage Score: 9.5/10
Beverage Comments: Since I ordered my Usual (Personal Iced Grande Nonfat Chai Latte) no one can make it as good as I can for myself (im not a barista there but at my cafe that i work it) other than that the nice lady made it beautifully!

(Atmosphere, cleanliness, signage, design, loca. within area)
Store Score: 8.5/10
Store Comments: The location is nicely situated in downtown near seymour and W.Hastings, the store was a little bit dimly lit for my taste but usually once I get my drink I dont tend to hang around in bux to long! usually not a reason to do so! but the lightin was a bit dim. I am also taking a point off because it was close to closing time for them so it wasnt fair that i didnt get to see them during a moring work rush and give them a real number!

OVERALL SCORE: 10/10
OVERALL COMMENTS: The amazing Barista did it for me! She is the reason this store deserves a 10!!! She made my day!!!
