Starbucks expands with a tea house chain

The world's largest coffee chain, Starbucks wants to open its first tea shop in October. The shop will solely sell tea – the Handelsblatt writes.

The shop will operate under the Tazo brand name and will offer more than eighty different tea specialties. Customers can mix their drinks, with the assistance of the sellers called “tea partners”. In addition, cakes and sweets will be offered to customers. The group plans to open a pilot store on the west coast of the United States first, near the downtown of Seattle.
