“I looove tea,” Winfrey told the audience.

“My daily tea ritual is a vital part of my morning. Savory and spicy chai, with its deep flavor, has long been a favorite of mine. When Howard Schultz offered to have me come into the Starbucks tasting room and create my very own tea blend, I thought that sounded like such a unique opportunity and fun to the tenth power. To share one of my favorite things with the rest of the world and support youth education at the same time is truly the perfect blend.”

“With the introduction of Teavana Oprah Chai, we are going to elevate the tea experience in the same way we did for coffee,” Schultz stated. “Partnering with Oprah Winfrey in the creation of this distinctive and remarkable tea is a strong next step forward in accomplishing this objective, while also giving back in a meaningful way through the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy Foundation. I am personally humbled to work with such an inspirational leader and visionary who shares so many of our core values and beliefs. I truly believe that, together, we will set the bar for a world-class tea experience at Starbucks and Teavana.”

 

According to the Associated Press, the new tea line will be available for customers at Starbucks and Teavana stores across the U.S. and Canada beginning April 29.”

That’s where you’ll find me! My girls know I love my tea! Even Teavana has a special place in my bank account. Ha! But Oprah never ceases to amaze me…anything she touches, turns to gold..and Teavana was already gold so this is a platinum move!

Way to go Teavana, Starbucks and Oprah! Keep empowering not only women but the nation!
