Oh Teavana. I want so badly to like you more. But you always seem like the mall shop that tries to appear as if you know everything, but your tea is kind of bland, super low quality, and overall kind of sucks.

Maybe I’m spoiled by knowing what really good quality tea is, but everything I have had from Teavana, both in store and take home, is about 1/2 a step above the average grocery store boxed tea bags.

Meh.

Great selection of amazing teas. When I think of good, traditional tea, I think of Red Blossom. They turned me onto real tea, and I’ve been buying from them ever since.
