Lots of new things have arrived at Starbucks! As of April 29, 2014, the Oprah Chai is now available. The Oprah Chai is a spicy bold all-new Chai created by Teavana, Oprah Winfrey and Starbucks.
Sunday, May 11th, at participating Starbucks buy one Oprah Chai hand-crafted beverage and get the other free. This means you and a friend can try the hot or iced Oprah Chai Latte and have a happy Sunday with Oprah!
You’ll even find Oprah smiling at you as you browse the merchandise wall at Starbucks:
Also new at Starbucks, there are pretty new tumblers:
Starbucks has now introduced the Strawberry Lemonade Via Refresher into their stores. Previously, this was a grocery store only item. It’s delicious! I’ve been drinking this for a long time now. I highly recommend it. You’ll find it near the front registers of the stores. Partner Colin wanted to personally show off his excitement for the new Refreshers:
Just as a reminder, Brezza Blend is now available in Starbucks stores too.
Last but not least, there is an all new Frappuccino called the Caffé Espresso Frappuccino. It is a coffee Frappuccino with an espresso-infused whipped cream and an Italian Roast drizzle. You can try one for half price during the upcoming Frappuccino Happy Hour, May 1st – May 10th.
Enjoy!

The Oprah chai is so good! Those tumblers are pretty too.
Alexa – I seriously thought about buying a new tumbler, but I have too many already! I like the iced version of the Oprah Chai a lot! Thanks for managing to drop by and leave a comment as my blog is in the midst of an overhaul.
I had the Oprah Chai a couple days ago. While I am not a ‘chai’ person, and likely will only go to Sbux for coffee or some coffee related drink, I actually thought the Oprah Chai was pretty good.
Love the Oprah chai! It has way more spice than the Tazo. I can taste more cinnimon!
@Denise and Serina – Thank you for bearing with me while my blog is under repairs! I’m impressed that anyone is still reading it and commenting. And I’m glad you like the Chai too. 🙂
Yahoo Melody, I think this is the first time the site has worked for me correctly without lots of refreshing in quite awhile. Even though this morning it looked totally different. Anyway, I’m not a chai drinker but might try the Oprah chai. I am really excited about the café espresso frappuccino though. Well mostly just that whipped topping and I rarely get frappuccinos or whipped crème. It just sounds really delicious and I want to try it at least once.
I tried the Oprah Chai today, and while it was good, I think I prefer the Tazo Chai! The Oprah Chai had a semi-floral taste to it, kind of like Earl Grey tea or the chai tea latte at Panera Bread. I think I want to try the Italian Roast drizzle!
MELODY-There is a blog that i follow called ” VIEWS FROM THE WING”

The guys name is Dave and he always post where you can find or earn more Starbucks rewards.It is a great site mainly about earning airline points but he also posts about Starbucks rewards.His tips are great and i thought you might like to check it out.
I sampled the chai at the shareholder’s meeting and thought it was very good. Something I will be buying for sure this summer!
The Strawberry Lemonade Via Refresher is by my favourite Via drink. I’ll be ordering a lot of these online!
Melody, no prob to still read the blog. Looking forward to May 11 to trying the Oprah Chai Latte!
Are they coming out with any new tumblers for hot drinks or are they only for cold drinks?
So how is the Cafe Espresso Frappuccino, anyone? When I do get a frap, it’s always an Espresso Frappuccino. I would be tempted to try this one at least once if it’s really espresso-y.
Ooooh 😀 I haven’t tried the Cafe Espresso Frapuccino but I have tried the regular coffee one. I get sugar free stuff when I can though I usually go ahead with the whip. Espresso infused whip? MMMMMM 🙂
I really enjoy a chai tea. I have to admit I’m a bit curious about what an Oprah Chai tea tastes like. I think I will take my mom to Starbucks on the 11th and we can try those out. My future is looking pretty yummy lol <3
So do you HAVE to buy the Oprah Chai Tea only? Or can you change it up a bit? You are the one that always knows:)
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to all!
