I went in there for the first time today, but they are a bit pricey just for some tea.

Personally, I prefer Republic of Tea...online or catalogue, dontcha know..

Love Teavana! Just finished up some White Ayurvedic Chai Tea... Frigging amazing! Our store just opened this summer, so its still newer to me... I want that glass canister filled with the German rock sugar next!!

They say that their "Shape Up" tea really does help you lose weight. Wonder how true it is?

Maybe as a laxative.

Green tea can help you lose weight in several ways, though.

teavana's stock is shite. I swear by Adagio teas.

Yeah green tea does work wonders and actually does aid in weight loss. I'm just baffled at how this so called "Shape Up" tea they have starts at $50 for only 8oz of tea. Really? For tea? I understand that the bigger the size then the higher the price goes, but it starts off at $50.

That's a rip-off. Is silver needle or white peony even that much?

Is that loose leaf or bags?

Loose leaf. I used to make fun of his fancy tea, but the difference really is incredible. Their Irish Breakfast tea is not only delicious the traditional way with milk and sugar, but it's now my favorite for iced tea as well.

yep, from Adagio Teas. I can give you a $5 gift certificate if you want one. They're seriously the best.

those are loose, but they also sell most of their teas in pyramid bags, too. Want a $5 off certificate???

I checked to the site to see and Teavana charges $18 for 2oz of the Silver Needle tea.

Adagio charges $14 for 1.5 oz of white needle tea and $5 for 1oz of white peony or $15 for 6oz. But what's good about Adagio is that you can order samples of the tea which are usually between $2-$5.

I assure you, from experience, the quality of their teas (Silver Needle in particular, as it's one of my faves) is better than teavana.

you also have to remember Nick, we're a lot farther away from the tea than you. It costs a lot to get it to us.

My absolute favorite tea (not really a tea - it's a rooibos tisane) is:

Hmmm. Now I need to try this.

I like Teavana's Samurai Chai Mate. Although I usually buy my tea from Hooker Tea in St Pete.

I also like growing my own.
