I thoroughly enjoy visiting the Tazo Tea store. There is one single store, and it’s in Seattle’s University Village shopping area. Each time I visit, I notice something new. I dropped by the Tazo store on March 1, 2013, and took some quick photos. By the way, one thing you must do while you’re there, is order a sparkling iced tea! The iced tea of the day was Bramble Wine tea by Tazo, and it was fabulous iced and sparkling!
I have to mention the chocolates at this store. One of the chocolate bars uses dark ganache chocolate, and a Lapsang Oolang black tea, with a little sea salt. That’s a remarkable combination of flavors! I smelled the actual Lapsang Oolong, and that was the darkest, smokiest tea I have ever smelled. It is the French Roast of the Tazo Tea store. It’s amazing but the smokey flavor, mixed with dark chocolate, and sea salt really creates a stunningly rich and delicious chocolate bar. Pick up a Lapsang Dark Chocolate Ganache bar when you’re there. I also bought some Sultry Strawberry tea to try at home iced!
If you visit, be sure to pick up a Tazo Tea card for your Starbucks card collection. It can be registered and use just like any other Starbucks card.
I don’t think I’ll say a lot more about the Tazo store. All the photos speak for themselves. (And I took all of these pictures on March 1, 2013. If you like pretty pictures of Starbucks and Starbucks-related things, you can also check out what I’ve uploaded on Pinterest.)

June can’t come fast enough! I can’t wait to visit the tazo store!!
Melody, do you know if starbucks partners can phantom here? I would love to work a few shifts here!!!
Melody what absolutely great pics and SB just has to expand these stores to have one by me. I can just smell all the wonderful teas!
Every time you show pics of this store I want to visit it even more! I would love to do retail for this store, everything it so clean and organized.
Melody do you know if the regular SB stores will expand their selection of Tazo teas? Also, have you heard any chatter re when they are opening new Tazo stores?
Great post, always makes me want to experience it for myself. Btw Melody & website admin guy/girl, I’m loving the new, modernized site features. Can you make a short post introducing the new differences, features & options, etc.? Like is that an ‘Add Photo’ button I see? Maybe that new photo feature will be useful in creating some more fun posts/threads like “Share Your Starbucks Order/Experience/Moment of the Day” – Just a thought. = )
Hmmm. Disqus quirks are happening. When new comments are being posted, I don’t see them showing up in the side column, and it doesn’t look like the number is always updating up top. Also, I realize we’ve lost the comment luv plug in.
Laily, I have been thinking about a thread mentioning new comments, but just haven’t had time. I might throw something sloppy together.
Purple1 – Starbucks has pretty much said that there are no plans to expand the Tazo tea store concept.
