Price
On September 22, 2010 Starbucks announced that it would be raising prices due to the increasing price of coffee beans, dairy and other raw material.
Starbucks expects to maintain or lower the price of some of its most popular beverages, including certain espresso beverages; and, in most markets, its popular $1.50 tall brewed coffee; and to raise prices of labor-intensive and larger-sized beverages
Unlike the coffee, tea prices aren’t based on the size, instead it’s based on the number of tea bags, since water is pretty cheap in non-bottle form.
