| - Here is what happens when I walk by a Teavana- I try some of their tea outside of their store, I walk in the store, buy what I just drank and walk out with $60 worth of tea. Yes, its expensive, but its the best tea you will find. And yes, their tactic works on me every time.
At home, I have the following:
- Samurai Chai Mate (White Avurvedic Chai)
It has caffeine and its kinda spicy? I love it in the morning!
- Jasmine Dragon Pearls (Rooibos Tropica)
This is good a night time, because of the jasmine and zero caffeine.
- Peach Momotaro Artisan Tea
Super light tea. It "blooms" at its steeping.
I have been on a mad hunt for Matcha Green Tea. And I found it at Teavana! Granted, it was $36 bucks, but I didn't care. I wanted it and was so excited!
I also bought the most delicious and absolutely amazing smelling tea: Blueberry Bliss & Pineapple Kona Pop. (mixed together)
Are you kidding me?!??! They had it cold today and holy crap! I fell in love with the first sip! This is how good it smells- I had it in my car. Stopped into Target on the way home, got back into my car and I sat there for a few seconds, admiring at how delicious my car smelled. I wish it was a car air freshener! It smells how I imagine Hawaii would smell (since I have never been). It smells sorta like Fiji (yes, i've been to Fiji) and it's delightful!
However, there are a few things that I dislike about Teavana:
- All of their tea that you sample in the store has the rock sugar & honey in it.
- They make double-batches of the tea so it has a stronger flavor.
Meaning: when you get it home it will not taste like it does in the store.
Also, I HATE HATE HATE how they try to sell you everything plus the kitchen sink in there. For example: today, I walked in. I told the guy that I had been there before. I asked a question about the Matcha Green Tea, then he proceeded to try and sell me the Matcha Green Tea gift set and then another gift set. No dude, I just want the Green Tea. Then I tried the Blueberry Bliss & Pineapple Kona Pop. I loved it. I asked a question about it. Then he tried to sell me a thermos and a canister for the tea. It was really intense. Then he took me over to the "tea mixer". I told the guy the tea I wanted. Then he tried to sell me a canister to put the tea in. I told him that I have canisters at home. He then asked me again. OMG! I just want my expensive tea, people!
My husband was with me and had no idea WTF was going on. My husband went to pay and I thought he was going to pass out when he saw how expensive tea was. haha! Not being a tea drinker, he had no clue that good tea has a hefty price tag.
I didn't realize until today, that you can order tea drinks there! Next time I am totally going to do this! :)
To recap:
- Be ready for them to try and sell you all kinds of stuff.
- When you buy a tea, buy a canister- it will keep your tea, fresher, longer.
- Be ready for drop more than $12 on tea, even for like a "sample" amount.
- Try all of the samples they have in the store. They have hot and cold. You will be surprised of all the different flavors that they have.
I love you Teavana, so you don't need to try and sell me; you already had me at the first sip!
