[Briar Rose 7457]

The newest beverage featured for a very limited time this holiday season at Starbucks, the Vanilla Trent Latte. It's an appealing blend of the finest coffee beans which have been segregated, er, separated from darker beans of lesser quality to which is added the tastiest of pure vanilla. Of course the drink is whipped into a frothing, frothy rather, delight as the purest of cream is added to make this a very white taste treat. There is no chocolate *whatsoever* in this drink as to integrate such a dark flavor would only denigrate an otherwise superior beverage. Unfortunately, this drink may disappear rather quickly from circulation as the higher-ups at Starbucks may have a "no confidence" vote on this somewhat archaic beverage which seems to have a rather limited appeal apart from some areas of the deep South...

Sittin' on the porch sippin' my Latte.
