If you are a human being who loves Starbucks (and what human being doesn't love Starbucks?), you're going to be excited about this free drink opportunity! Starting today, April 9 through Saturday, April 11, Starbucks is going BOGO: If you buy one Teavana Oprah Cinnamon Chai Tea Latte, you'll get an additional drink free. All you have to do to get in on the deal is head to Starbucks and buy the aforementioned chai latte from 2 to 5PM and you'll score two chai tea lattes for the price of one!
No matter if you like warm drinks or cold ones, you'll be covered, since this offer is good for both hot and iced versions of the Oprah Winfrey-inspired beverage. This makes me even more stoked about the offer, because I know how having to settle for a drink that's not to your temperature liking can ruin the entire experience. They've really thought of everything!
If you need another reason to get in on the deal or want to understand why Starbucks is doing this, you'll be supporting some great charities with your drink purchase: Starbucks is using this BOGO offer in order to promote youth education organizations. The coffee company and the media powerhouse that is Oprah have together raised over $5 million for youth organizations; the free drinks are a way of saying "thanks" to everyone who helped them along the way.
Furthermore, the deal does some additional good, too: 25 cents from each beverage of the Oprah Cinnamon Chai Tea Latte will go towards supporting these organizations, which include Girls Inc. and Pathways to College and U.S. Dream Academy. Said Teavana president Annie Young-Scrivner in a press release:
Starbucks and Teavana, in partnership with Oprah Winfrey and organizations like Girls Inc., are investing in our future leaders, recognizing that education, training and mentorship are critical assets for youth across the U.S. and Canada. Customers can join in this meaningful give-back April 9 to 11, and when they buy one Teavana Oprah Cinnamon Chai Latte, they will receive a second one to share; Starbucks will pay the donation for both beverages.
So not only will you be scoring a second beverage for free with this deal, but will also be supporting young people!
If you've never ordered a Teavana Oprah Chai Tea Latte before, it's a black tea-based drink that features a spicy cinnamon flavor with notes of ginger, cardamom, and cloves. You can't get this unique blend anywhere else, as the beverage was designed by Oprah herself in collaboration with teaologist Naoko Tsunod exclusively for Teavana. If you try the drink and would like to make it at home, you can also purchase Teavana Oprah chai in loose-leaf form at Teavana stores. Just add steamed milk to your steeped tea and you're good to go.
Make sure to get in on this offer while you can, since it's only available through Saturday at 5pm!
