Trip to Teavana

While in Florida I stopped in at the tea store, Teavana. A summary of Teavana is as follows:

"The Teavana dream began with an idea that people could enjoy tea in a place that was part Tea Bar, Part Tea Emporium... Then in 1997 we opened our first teahouse in Atlanta, Georgia. The name Teavana was created to mean "a heaven of tea"; this meant to describe the experience each customer has with our tea, and our staff. And so as our company grows, the fairy tale of East meets West continues enriching the lives of our customers by encouraging a healthy, alternative lifestyle." - from Teavana's official site

I tried samples from the tea bar, while browsing all the teas and tea-related merchandise. Here are a few photos from Teavana:


In this photo you can see the tea bar in action.


Pretty flowering tea on display.


I like these whimsical ceramic mugs.

The store I visited is located in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Now I just wish one would open in Michigan...
