Teavana
Upscale leaf retailer
Teavana is a tea retailer known for loose-leaf teas and tea accessories, founded in 1997 and later acquired by Starbucks.
The name blends "tea" with a suffix suggesting an exotic destination or state of being.
Most standalone stores closed by 2018, though the brand persists through Starbucks locations and packaged products: I used to love browsing at Teavana.
