The one-hour-only giveaway coincides with the launch of the Starbucks chain's new Teavana Shaken Iced Tea Infusions.

Starbucks is marking the launch of its new Teavana Shaken Iced Tea Infusions by giving away one free tall infusion per customer as part of "Free Tea Friday." But you've got to be quick if you want to score free tea: The deal is good only from 1 to 2 p.m. Friday, July 14.

"You don't have buy anything and you don't have to show some sort of coupon," Starbucks said in a news release, but warned, "You may want to prepare for even longer lines than usual, though."

The offer is valid in-store only and is not available with Mobile Order & Pay. Limit one per customer at participating stores.

Comparing the new drink to "tea cocktails," Starbucks said it infuses "tea with tea," creating "an iced tea beverage with an enhanced, perfectly balanced taste." The Teavana Shaken Iced Tea Infusions come in three flavors: Pineapple Black Tea, Peach Citrus White Tea and Strawberry Green Tea.

"You get more of a true tea experience when you flavor green, white or black tea with herbal tea made from botanicals and fruit,” Starbucks product developer Melynda Cheng said.
