SEATTLE--()--To thank customers for raising $5 million for young people through Teavana® Oprah Chai, Starbucks Coffee Company (NASDAQ:SBUX) invites customers to come into participating Starbucks stores on Thursday, April 9 through Saturday, April 11, from 2 to 5 p.m. local time across the U.S. and Canada. For every purchase of a Teavana® Oprah Cinnamon Chai Latte, customers will receive a free Teavana® Oprah Cinnamon Chai Latte of equal or lesser value to share. Starbucks will pay the donation for both beverages.

The distinctive Teavana® Oprah Cinnamon Chai Latte features the bold infusion of cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and cloves perfectly blended with loose-leaf black tea and rooibos and topped with steamed milk. Creamy and cinnamon forward, customers can enjoy the spicy Teavana® Oprah Cinnamon Chai Latte hot or iced.

Starbucks and Oprah Winfrey co-created Teavana® Oprah Chai in Spring 2014 to elevate the tea experience while also giving back in a meaningful way. 100 percent of all proceeds made to the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy Foundation from Teavana® Oprah Chai goes to the Foundation, which in turn provides further funding to Girls Inc., National CARES Mentoring Movement, Pathways to College and U.S. Dream Academy.

“Every person who purchases Teavana® Oprah Chai is making a difference in the lives of young people,” said Annie Young-Scrivner, president, Teavana. “We want to thank our customers who purchased Teavana Oprah Chai this past year for helping raise $5 million for youth education, and invite them to come in to Starbucks and share their love of Teavana Oprah Chai with a friend April 9 through 11.”
