Starbucks is closing its fine concept tea bar in Chicago. It opened in April 2014, which much excitement and anticipation. Teavana is just closing this store: this doesn’t affect their other stores. This Teavana was different than others. The Teavana tea bars have specialty hand-crafted drinks, unique food items, and fine design! There is a large Seattle Teavana concept store in University Village, and the Pacific Place Mall Teavana offers hand-crafted drinks. You can also find Teavana tea bars in Los Angeles and New York City. There is a list of all the Teavana Tea Bar concept locations here.
A reader sent me some pics of the store. It was so pretty that I thought I’d share them here. Enjoy!
(Don’t be alarmed! The other Teavana stores are alive and well!)

Sad face…but it’s strange to me that there’s an espresso bar in there…I don’t know that the smell of coffee pairs well with tea bar. I get that you need to steam milk for tea lattes but I’m puzzled by it.
This store will be closing on the 26th of September. I’m sad. I also understand the issues that caused it to close it’s door so soon. 🙁
Although I do not live in Chicago, I’m sure this is sad for those residents.
I’m really sad about it. I’m going to stop in over the weekend and see if they have some good teas on sale. 🙁
