Starbucks opened up their first Tazo Tea store in Seattle on November 16th of 2012. The Seattle Times reports “Tazo’s 1,700-square-foot store in University Village is a shabby chic collection of grays and greens, with an off-white chandelier at its center and clear jars of teas on its shelves.”

The floor is devoted more to selling tea for home brewing than to in-store tea drinking.

It includes 80 loose-leaf teas and a blending station for customers to create their own with ingredients ranging from rooibos to marigold petals.”
