Bought my standard drink at starbucks (hot venti green tea) in Switzerland. Cost was 6.20 CHF. In 2014 it was 5.60 CHF. 11% price increase in 11 years = 1% annual inflation. Impressive job 🇨🇭!

Sorry, and with all due respect, but why would you buy a Green Tea in Starbucks? With so many Hōjicha available elsewhere and much cheaper. Forget about inflation (which is truly impressive, gotta admit).

There are no such places. Are there? I would order a large bag and just prepare at home, tbh.

Zurich the city has it, but the airport does not, at least according to both google maps and AI.

Ah, you were at the airport. That sort of explains it. But still surprises me that you've gone to starbucks for so long for Green Tea, ngl

I usually don't, in most places other shops are much higher quality.
