On the Price of a Medium Tea at Starbucks Going Up 18.3% In the Past 9 Months (AKA, Tea Drinker's Lament)

Yeah, it's gotten to the point where their price is higher than a lot of the places serving premium tea (Essex Coffee and Tea In Essex, CT, Mocha Joe's In Brattleboro, VT, and Prime Roast In Keene, NH, to Name a Few In My Neck of the Woods). Granted, you may not have access to these places every day but Dunkin' Donuts has recently upped their game tea-wise so that's an option, too.......Gotta' send a message, people............................................................................................P.S. To be fair Starbucks still offers a 50 cent refill, so, yeah, if you're planning on consuming more than one cup, maybe still go there......grudgingly. I guess.
