Teavana is a wonderful store. Their teas are horrifically overpriced, but delicious. I went to the Willow Grove store during the 3 Day and was harassed by a car salesman-like clerk. I eased my way out of the store because he was trying to talk me into $40/pound tea. Now I like tea. I really like tea. I drink 4-5 cups of tea a day. I fail to see how $40 will enhance my experience.
Today I went to the Teavana in DE. The clerk suctioned herself to me, which always just completely pisses me off. YOU ARE SELLING TEA! LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!! But I knew what I wanted so I could brush her off. I ended up with 4 ounces of Earl Grey and a travel mug infuser. And the disrespect of the clerk. The tea is delicious, but I don't know if I can stand going to their store again. Perhaps I can order online. It's a shame because their store is pretty cool. I wish I could walk around it without being harassed.
Wanna hear God laugh?

You must come to our place when we can get over to Cafe Tea. They have the $40 a pound teas but don't try to push anything.
I love that place...but can't get over there as much as I used to.
Not a chain. Small business, woman/veteran owned. Really nice people, kind of a hangout for teens and locals.
I've tried Teavana and found it to be overpriced and a bit too high-end shopping for me. Have you tried ordering online?

I've used them several times.
I'm not a tea person, but love Cafe Tea! We definitely need to go there next time you are in the area.
Cafe Tea looks great. I'd love to go there next time we're over!
