I am of two minds about Teavana, just as I am about Starbucks. I am not a fan of SB's coffee....find it bitter and the frapamachiato concoctions only a distant relative of coffee with the fat and sugar completely cancelling any of the good a black cup of java does the body and soul. I also absolutely refuse to speak SB's....when I order a small cup of coffee I am always corrected by the cashier..."you mean a Grandejumbo?" or some such idiocy....and I restate, "a small black coffee." But what cannot be disputed is that the general level of quality of coffee in the US has risen immeasurably since the SB's phenomenon. I am hopeful that Teavana will initiate a similar quiet change in the quality of tea in this country...which is worse than coffee was 20 yrs ago. It still astounds me how bad the tea can be in otherwise excellent eating establishment.
I do like the double walled glasses Teavana sells. I don't think they are much pricier than comparable glasses. Never bought the tea as we have better sources for that
