Teas

The Map Room is proud to offer Teavana Teas.  We currently have six varieties to choose from and plan to change the varieties throughout the changing seasons.  If there is a particular flavor you would like us to carry as a “House Favorite,” please let us know.

All our Teavana Teas are loose leaf teas served in a contemporary infuser made completely of glass, so you can watch the tea leaves unfurl during steeping and enjoy the color of your tea as you drink it.

Our all natural sweeteners are a better way to add a touch of sugar to your tea.  White sugar affects the taste of the tea and often masks the complexity of the drink.  However, our unprocessed German rock cane sugar or Truvía, a natural zero-calorie sweetener, born from the leaves of the stevia plant adds a touch of sweetness without changing the taste of the tea.  Try one and see what you think.  You just might dump the white sugar all together!

As part of the Teavana mission, Teavana supports CARE by giving 1% of their annual profits to CARE.
