Why Choose Teavana Teas?

Teavana takes tea seriously. We enjoy the flavor, aroma, and the "feel good" benefits from a good tea, and we want to pass on the best quality tea to you. We very shrewdly pick and choose every element of a tea before deciding on a new brew (a process that takes between 6 and 12 months), selecting from the most premium teas we offer a bounty of health benefits and of course great taste to you. Our selection is limited to teas that we believe are superb, not average and never 'good enough'. Why are Teavana teas better?

Only the freshest teas are available. We only offer fresh teas, never old, never stale. We make it a point to get our teas quickly from the countries of origin to our stores. And we store them properly to preserve quality and freshness. We wouldn't want to drink stale tea, let alone sell it to you!

	Only premium ingredients are used. We always choose teas that have the highest quality ingredients. From the best flush of tea from the gardens, to the nuts and fruits in our herbal tisanes, every ingredient in our teas is of high quality and chosen because they add something (flavor, aroma, or health benefits) to a tea. We believe in selling the best, every time. Only loose-leaf teas are sold. When you are buying a bagged tea, the tea is obscured by the bag. Many low quality teas (even 'tea dust') are sold in bags so that you don't realize the quality. Loose-leaf tea begs to be inspected, so we choose to sell only loose-leaf tea (although we do have tea bags you can fill yourself, if you prefer). Another benefit of loose-leaf tea is the ability to blend flavors and make your own unique tea, one that suits your tastes perfectly When you drink Teavana teas, you are drinking the highest quality teas available. In addition, we don't hide our tea in bags or mask bad tea with unnatural flavors or fillings. Our knowledgeable teaologists will let you look, let you smell, and even let you taste our fresh tea letting you know exactly what you are getting.
