On a recent trip to the mall I stumbled across a store called Teavana.  As an avid tea lover and a self proclaimed teaholic, I just had to go in.

First of all, if you ever go to the mall with me….DO NOT LET ME GO IN THERE!  (I have a list of other stores I have banned myself from too like The Body Shop and Crate and Barrel – Chad will be happy to provide you with the complete list).

Besides an entire wall devoted to teapots and tea sets, they have a sampling station…….

BIG MISTAKE on their part…..BIG MISTAKE!!  (Er…uh…big mistake on Chad’s part for letting me go in there).

An entire wall devoted to tea……….white, green, oolong, black, herbal, rooibos.…they have it!!

I had to have a cup of the strawberry-lemonade herbal tea.  UNBELIEVABLE!!  They will make you a cup of tea from any of their teas but they also sell the loose leaf teas by the ounce.

I only went in expecting to get a cup of tea but I ended up with a few other things…………like cocoa praline tart tea and toasted nut brulee tea……

…and there is a small possibility that Victoria, my sales gal, was maybe able to talk me into taking home some  German rock sugar……..

People- you have been warned- NEVER let me near that store again………

Hey, anyone want to hit the mall tomorrow?
