Starbucks Announces First Tea Bar

Starbucks has announced plans to open a tea bar near it's Seattle headquarters.

The store will carry more than eighty varieties of loose-leaf tea, tea lattes, and iced teas, as well as packaged chocolates, infused sugars, honeys, and food similar to what the regular stores carry.

The company is hoping to expand it's Tazo brand of teas with shops such as this one.

Over the last year Starbucks has begun greatly expanding into other markets than their normal cafe.

Earlier this month, they bought a bakery chain in San Fransisco, with the goal of eventually only selling their own baked goods.

In March, they also opened up their first juice bar, with it's own set of food menu, after they began selling their own juices in November.
