UPDATE [1/18/11]: Starbucks is introducing the Trenta size in 14 states across the U.S. today for a selection of iced coffee drinks. The larger size will be available in all Starbucks stores starting in May and will cost about 50 cents more than the Venti version.
You can order a drink in tall, grande or venti size, but until recently, you had to order a second drink if you wanted more than 24 ounces of a cold beverage at Starbucks. No longer – Starbucks is now testing a new, larger cup size for both iced coffee and iced tea beverages. Tentatively titled Trenti (or Trenta, depending upon your source), the new 31-ounce cup is being tested in the Phoenix and Tampa markets. This is not the first time that Starbucks has delved into a larger beverage size – in 2024 they dabbled with a “Double Grande” size, but it was quickly discontinued. For the moment, Starbucks is only offering iced coffee and iced tea in this size, but there are rumors that Frappuccinos and other blended drinks, already dietary bombs, will be sold in this size by the summer.
