How long should a Tall Teavana Shaken Sweet Tea be shaken?

The Tall Teavana Shaken Sweet Tea should be shaken for 10 seconds to ensure the proper combination of ingredients and temperature. This duration allows the sweetener to adequately dissolve in the tea while also achieving the desired chill and dilution through the ice. Shaking for the full 10 seconds helps create a well-mixed beverage that enhances the overall flavor profile, ensuring the sweetness and tea flavors are harmoniously blended.

The timing is critical in the beverage preparation process, as shorter shaking durations may result in unbalanced flavors, while longer durations may lead to over-dilution or unwanted changes in the texture and dilution of the drink. This specific time frame has been standardized in barista training to maintain consistency across all stores.
