First sorry if this is the wrong section.
So my question is, is Teavana tea worth it over Lipton just on the basis of quality? Or in the end are you just paying for flavor and the marketing.
Many people say its overpriced and outsourced, and I have already payed about $100 dollars there all together. If there are much better options could I get a recommendation for that, and possibly online that has higher quality?
Thanks

You get what you pay for brotha. I was addicted to their matevana for so long until I ran out of my stash. I then realized I like black coffee just as much so just have that to save me some funds.
Definitely worth it if your a tea person though.Training Log

Paying for flavor and the luxury factor mostly. But they do have some good teas.

Pretty much 90% of the websites that talk about Teavana quality say its just overpriced. All I'm worried about is being able to drink a lot while gaining the ECGC.
Wasnt sure if anyone heard reviews of teavana not even being comparable to other companies in terms of that.

Yes, but only for their flavored tea. With regards to nutrients and nutrition and blah blah blah... tea is tea.
Their almond biscotti and earl grey creme are orgasmic.
I heard their blueberry white is outofthisworld.jpg

Teavana is like the Mcdonalds of loose tea.
If you want GOOD, premium loose leaf tea, buy from Rishi Tea or Teas Etc. Amazing, especially their single estate varietals.

Agreed! Teavana is overpriced for what it is. Rishi is excellent and cheaper in most cases!Originally Posted by rappert

Golden Monkey (black) from Teas Etc will blow your mind. Rishi has a great silver needle (White.)
