I was so disappointed that there were very few Starbucks stores in Australia. I only got to visit five stores in Sydney and six stores in Melbourne. One of my most memorable Starbucks moment was in Starbucks Collin Street in Melbourne. It was a freezing July morning. It was about 7:30 a.m. and there was only one barista in the store. I ordered a Green Tea Latte.
"You mean a Green Tea Frappuccino?" The barista asked.
"It's too early for a frappuccino. A hot Green Tea Latte please," I said.
"It's not on our menu list," the barista said.
I checked the menu board .Green Tea Latte wasn't listed.
"You have green tea powder, right? Just put a spoonful in a cup of steamed milk," I said.
I requested the barista to add two pumps of hazelnut syrup. In Korea a tall Green Tea Latte costs about US$5 but the Aussie barista charged me only AUD$3.50 the price of a caffe latte.
