Have you tried Starbucks' latest beverage to accompany its various food items?

The ubiquitous coffee bar/restaurant chain (11,000 locations nationwide despite a cutback late in '08) on Saturday introduced several new new anti-oxidant-rich teas to its menu.

The new Full Leaf Tazo Tea Lattes and Tzao Tea Infusions now are available along with tea drinks already offered. Tazo Tea is the first to use full-leaf tea bags in Starbucks, allowing customers to make the drinks the strength they prefer.

The hot tea lattes are made with Tazo Tea and steamed milk in three flavors: Black tea Latte, Vanilla Rooibos Latter, featuring a naturally caffeine-free South African herbal tea, and London Fog Latte with a blend of black tea, bergamot, French lavendar and vanilla. 

The price range, depending on where you are, is $2.85 to $3.50 for a tall.

The non-dairy Tazo Tea Infusions, available hot or cold, include black chai tea steamed with fruit juices in Berry Chai Infusion and Apple Chai Infusion flavors. Price range:  $2.40 to $2.70 for a tall.

All the new drinks have fewer than 200 calories for a tall (12 ounce) serving, except the Apple Chai Infusion, which has 250.
