Ahhhmazing teas but pricey and they come with quite the sales spiel to bring home the whole store. The teas are gorgeous and amazing tasting. The flavored teas you can buy from the grocery store don't even begin to compare. The flavors are so nuanced and strong without being bitter or sickly. Sometimes flavored teas make my stomach hurt but I don't have that problem with Teavana's. Also they are pretty enough to be displayed and they smell heavenly.
I bought some bulk teas to take home. The earl grey creme smelled intoxicatingly good and is very pretty. The amandine tea smells even better and is also very pretty. If you like the flavor of marzipan, you must get the amandine! I thought the raw teas were really pricey but you can get 4 big pots of tea out of the 2 oz bag (the minimum amount). I got talked into getting a cup of something they were sampling, and my mouth dropped a bit when I found out it was $6. Six dollars for a cup of tea to go is pricey but it was one of the best tea I've ever had.
The lady who was helping me tried to sell me everything - an airtight tin, special sugar, another strainer, a teapot, etc. What could have been a lovely trip to a special tea store ended up being sort of exhausting and I just wanted to get out of there. Teavana is a wonderful place to get tea for a special occasion or to treat yourself, just be prepared to say a lot of no-thank-yous.
