If @GameOfThrones doesn't make a branded coffee called "Westeroast" and state that the beans are "Slow roasted in Kings Landing by dragons"

The coffee cup has now been edited out of the online version of the episode, and the show admitted it was a mistake through a funny tweet hinting that things can be forgotten on set. Hilarious.
News from Winterfell.

The latte that appeared in the episode was a mistake. #Daenerys had ordered an herbal tea. pic.twitter.com/ypowxGgQRl
Anybody else now really craving a Starbucks?
