There is an all-new holiday, seasonal drink at Starbucks. It’s the Gingerbread Tea Latte. This drink uses Teavana Royal English Breakfast Tea, with steamed milk (half milk, half water), gingerbread syrup, and a dash of a cinnamony topping.
I had nearly missed that there’s an all new drink!
It’s important that I point it out now because it is part of the buy one, get one free promotion currently underway.
Starbucks Buy One Holiday Drink, Get One Holiday Drink Free!
This means that if you wanted to try this new beverage (and didn’t have a friend with you), you could go in and order the Peppermint Mocha you wanted, and order the second beverage – a Gingerbread Tea Latte – totally free just as a way to try it!
This is a deliciously sweet and wonderful drink. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you partners at the Tumwater store 3372 for the perfect Gingerbread Tea Latte!
What do you think of the new Gingerbread Tea Latte?

I know this has nothing to do with the above Gingerbread Tea Latte, but later on the same day I got a Flat White from the Starbucks in Tumwater on Capitol Blvd. When I saw the drink, I thought of the promo Flat White magnets that used to be on display in the stores. It was a perfect drink!

The cinnamony topping is cinnamon dolce topping to be exact. The substitute if out of cinnamon dolce is pumpkin spice topping, but never nutmeg as it affects the flavor of the drink. For someone who has British heritage and is pretty particular with her tea, this is actually quite nice to feel festive and relax over a nice cuppa tea.
Melody, I tried the new gingerbread tea latte yesterday at our new (free-standing 2200 square foot store) Starbucks in Hopkinton, Ma. It was excellent! I had it with the Holiday Turkey & Stuffing sandwich… very nice pairing.
Melody, I think you’re going to enjoy the new drink that comes out late this month! ☺️
At first I could only taste the black tea. Gave it a stir and then the flavors came out. I prefer green tea to black so probably wouldn’t order it again but pairing it with a food item might have been a good idea. But I for sure am looking forward to the new drink coming later this month.
A Starbucks manager told me there is a spicy flat white coming the end of November. If true, I am looking forward to it.
The Holiday Spice Flat White is coming right around the corner. Starbucks already did full press releases of it and it’s been in the news. I’m on my phone sorry so short and abrupt. You can Google it and it’s on my list to write about!
I’m excited to hear it’s part of the BOGO offer — I saw it on the board yesterday and thought it looked really good! I think I know what my freebie will be today! 🙂
And, I’m TOTALLY looking forward to the Holiday Spice Flat White — I was REALLY hoping that’s what was in the “No Peeking” boxes and it would’ve come out Nov. 10, but ah, well….that’ll make the end of the month even sweeter! 😀
Back from my pick-up of my drinks today, and I dunno…I think I must’ve really struck out with the Gingerbread Tea Latte. I got my drinks via MO&P, so I just took them to go, and when I got home and tried my GTL, it seemed to have no flavor beyond the tea and the milk. I didn’t even notice any cinnamon topping. :/
I guess I should’ve sampled it before I left so I could’ve said something then and there, but it almost seemed like they forgot the gingerbread syrup as well, since stirring/shaking it a bit didn’t seem to help at all, and you’d think that with 4 pumps, I would’ve tasted the gingerbread notes…
First time in a VERY long time I’ve been thoroughly saddened by my trip to Starbucks…especially since the GTL was the more expensive of the two drinks.
Hi everybody, I was curious if anyone successfully ordered the gingerbread tea latte as part of the BOGO holiday drink. Today I ordered a peppermint mocha and a gingerbread tea latte, after 2:00 PM, at a regular Starbucks store (not a Starbucks in a market or in a Target) and ended up paying for both instead of the cash register automatically doing the BOGO. I used my usual registered Starbucks card.
I’ve had two Gingerbread Tea Lattes since you posted this article. One of them was crafted better than the other but both cashiers assured me they don’t have a Gingerbread Tea Latte. LOL
Yesterday I tried a tall Gingerbread Tea Latte. Maybe I would prefer two tea bags because I thought it tasted watery and not flavorful. That being said I think the Chai Tea Latte made from concentrate are too syrupy!
P.S. The first time I tried to order one I got a Gingerbread Latte (espresso drink). It was delicious and very sweet!
The BOGO last day was Sunday Nov.15
