| - I drink coffee. I never pictured myself walking around a tea shop, picking up little tea pots off of shelves and talking about how fancy they'd look in my apartment... using words like "lovely" and "amazing" while looking at loose tea. Never in a million years. IT HAPPENED.
Yes, I went with my brother to Teavana gift-shopping for a family member, and all of these things really happened. Derrick helped us. (Derrick, if you're reading this, you are fantastic.) Derrick talks about tea, gives you some insight and wafts the tea jars very graciously so you can catch the scent. He's a great wafter, and in all seriousness, he knows everything about tea. His manager, "Stephie," was also very helpful and just plain sweet.
I'll be visiting again to buy a tea set for my boyfriend's mother when we go to Chicago in October. If you love tea or want to impress someone who does, go here.
