The article discusses the challenges of waiting for drink orders at Starbucks, particularly focusing on those that take substantial time to prepare. Based on the author's experience as a former barista, the piece highlights the Iced London Fog Latte as one of the slower drinks due to the necessary steps involved, including steeping Earl Grey tea. For customers wanting to avoid long waits, itâs suggested that ordering via the mobile app is a wise choice to streamline the process, benefiting both customers and baristas alike.
When I worked at Starbucks, the tea lattes were some of the least commonly ordered drinks. And honestly, it was probably a good thing because these drinks tend to take an awfully long time to make, especially the iced versions.
The reason this tea latte takes so long is because the barista has to fully steep the Earl Grey hot tea bag before doing the other parts of the drink.
