Lattes lure Brits to coffee
Article Abstract:
Starbucks coffee shops have captured the public imagination in Britain where coffee sales are up and the traditional drink of tea has seen sales decline by 12 percent over the past five years. British youth are particularly not as interested in black tea so new blends are being brewed to lure market share. There are 200 Starbucks Corp. coffee shops in London and a total of 466 in all of the United Kingdom.
