Hey Trudi and Marian....

I'll be bring as many of these home as I can carry. What should we do with them?

Teavana

I enjoyed Teavana today. I spent a small fortune but got a ceramic tea pot at 50% off, a tea sampler at 50% off, 17 oz each of orange blossom and peach tranquility at 75% off, and then about 3 oz each of opus rouge and citrus lavender sage- they were not on sale. The tea salesman was extremely pushy- he said "No you don't want peach tranquility, you want peach oolong" ($6.80/oz at 75% off vs $12/oz with no discount). I assured him that I did want the peach tranquility and he argued with me. I pointed out that it had caffeine- he tried to tell me it didn't matter it was less than a piece of chocolate, but it does matter to my heart so he can stuff it. I asked for suggestions for similar teas. I had all herbals and he went directly to the expensive white teas for suggestions. They must work on commission but if I hadn't wanted the tea so badly I would have walked out; he was just that pushy. I had to tell him about four times that no, I wasn't interested in what he was showing me, I really wanted what I'd asked for. I feel bad because he cheated the sales woman I was working with on my tea pot and tea sampler out of the tea sale. But I'm really happy with my purchases and can't wait to drink my tea!
