The business was founded by an American married couple in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1997. They had noticed during their travels how much Americans liked coffee shops and fine wines, and decided to invest in a tea business. The company, which is still headquartered in Atlanta, was bought out by Starbucks in 2012.
Products available in the specialty tea shops include storage tins, sugars and honeys, brewing pots, infusers, and tea makers, tea kettles and tea pots, and a wide variety of caffeinated and herbal teas. The company specializes in loose leaf teas and blooming teas, which unfold into flower shapes as they infuse.
The tea company has grown to more than 300 stores across the United States, Mexico, and Canada, and employs more than 5000 people. Its parent company, Starbucks, was founded in 1971 as Starbucks Coffee, Tea and Spices, making the acquisition a natural fit. Starbucks has more than 22,000 coffee shops and employs 191,000 people.
