Starbucks has heard our sniffling and shivering and has answered our Winter prayers with the perfect healthy drink. The new Teavana Citrus Defender [1] is made with Teavana's Defense Wellness Tea, steamed lemonade, hot water, and honey. I can feel the congestion clearing up just from hearing the ingredients! The drink combines warm seasonal flavors like cinnamon and citrus with a healthy dose of vitamin C.
Gone are the days of raised eyebrows and confusion, because unlike with the "medicine ball" drink from the secret menu [2], all baristas know exactly how to make the new throat-soothing beverage.
In addition to the citrus menu item, three new Teavana Wellness Teas have been added to the lineup. As previously mentioned, the Teavana Defense Wellness Tea [4] is a white tea blend with Vitamin C and hints of orange. Teavana Comfort Wellness Tea [5] is a mix of ginger, peppermint, and spearmint, and the Teavana Rev Up Wellness Tea [6] is made with black, green, and oolong tea plus hints of mango, peach, and apricot for an energy boost. Even if you're not feeling under the weather, the new teas are a perfect way to warm up. It looks like we've got a few more items to add to our list of low-calorie Starbucks drinks [7]!
