I love hazelnut, but the whole sugar-laden syrup doesn't work for diabetic me. Is there a good sugar-free syrup at $tarbuck$ you'd recommend?

Oh that's easy: Iced Quad Decaf Ristretto 3 pumps white mocha, 3 pumps mocha, 3 pumps peppermint, Nonfat, no whip, with either chocolate drizzle or chocolate sprinkle depending on which we have, stirred, Peppermint Tuxedo.

Comes in probably 3-4 times a week.

There's 5 sugar free syrups Draug. A SF Vanilla, SF Hazelnut (different then the sauce from the macchiato), SF Cinnamin Dolce (a sweet cinnabon kinda flavor), A SF caramel, and a SF Mocha. Ask for a skinny and it'll be sugar-free and nonfat with no whip. Also that means we have tota;lly sugar free hot chocolates now. Had some happy people with that.

I assume that was the craziest drink name, cause it sure doesn't sound sugar free. :-)

Yeah .. well one of the crazy drinks we make. The worse are partner beverages since we know exactly how we like things down to a half a pump of something.

Excellent. I shall have to try a cocoa and a mocha and possibly a cinnamon dolce.

@Celtic
There's an indie coffee shop around the corner from work, but my order is always simpler than that. "dark roast, large, no room."

You are in Maine. Isn't that "Dahk rohst, lahge, no room."

@Draug The cinnamin dolce tastes just like normal to me at least. I was really surprised.

@Hecks Oh we serve those too.

Only problem I have is I'm a tea drinker so I always have a surplus of coffee laying around the apartment.

Tea, Earl Grey, Hot... :-) That was for Obi. My actual tea preference is fresh brewed whole leaf Earl Grey. But I also love a good spiced Chai (fresh brewed, not sugar laden syrupy) with the steamed non-fat.

" You are in Maine. Isn't that "Dahk rohst, lahge, no room." "

Boo. -1. Rule #1 of talking to Mainers: don't do the accent. It's embarrassing for both of us.

Ilove this morrocan mint green tea that Stash has, but at work I drink a Iced Grande no water, filled to the middle line, 1 pump of classic, splash of lemonade green tea. Yeah see partner drinks are a bitch to make.

And for hot tea lately I've been making the awake via my keurig.

I have tried but don't care for the Stash brand much. My preferred is Twinings for Earl Grey (unless I can get the Tazo Full Leaf) and Tazo Organic Chai. If you like green teas, I have this Mandarin Orange Green from Lipton in my desk drawer that makes a nice iced tea. It comes in a pyramid bag so closer to full leaf than the usual Lipton teas. Also, for cheap flavorful iced teas, Celestial Seasonings makes some nice herbals and fruit teas (mix Mandarin Orange Spice and Blueberry together for an incredibly fruity iced tea).

Mmmm I am a fan of Celestial Seasonings. Draug if only you lived closer. I get a free pound of coffee or tin of tea a week. I just don't drink enough of straight Tazo to drink it all up.

I'd pay for the shipping to Cinci from Chicago. Ziplock it up airtight and we can make it happen. A tin of the full leaf Chai would make me a happy camper. I might even play a game of Diplomacy and let you win. :-) Just kidding. I'd never metagame for tea. Sex, maybe. But not tea. ;-)

Celestial Seasonings does a cool factory tour.

Where's the factory at?

@Draug Nah I'd never whore myself out for 1 measly diplomacy game anyways. Also, that may be possible. Really easy for me to get any tea tins as well as via btw.

Not a fan of the Via stuff. Too sweet. But yeah, let me know how much it would be to ship a tin when you have an extra freebie and I'll cover the shipping happily.

How many you want. These things stay good for a year or 2 and it would be easier to do several at once.

A couple bagged full leaf earl greys (I adore the lavender that Tazo adds to their Earl Grey) and a couple organic chais or one of each, whatever you feel is fair, I don't want to take advantage of you or Starbucks.

I IMd you my address so you can get a shipping estimate and I can send you the funds to cover it. I will also match the cost with a donation in your name to the site and get you a button. :-)

Wait people from Boston think that people from Maine have an accent? That makes no sense to the rest of us.

Doh! This is Draugnar sitting Victorious' account. Sorry, wrong account.

Sorry, about that guys. I only have to check it very rarely and forgot I had jumped in to do so.

@Draug oh believe me not taking advantage of anything. I also get a 30% off year round. They treat us partners pretty damn nice. It'll take about 6 weeks for me to get everything. But the wait will be worth it.

Cool and thanks. Just tell me how much.
