There's also a Teavana in the Chestnut Hill Mall, just next door to Territory Ahead (I used to work at the latter). I agree, Teavana's teapot sets are way overpriced, but they do have some cool books about cooking and baking with tea and the history of various tea traditions. But I have to say, the tea prepared behind the counter always left me a little disappointed. Even though the baristas use timers to carefully manage brewing, the Earl Grey always tasted bitter. Maybe it's the rock sugar they use, something just imparted a strange flavor to their teas.

There most definitely is a Teavana tea in the Prudential mall [or the Copley adjoined one]. I can never remember which it is since they are a continuation of each other. Don't buy their tea-pots though. Definitely overpriced. For the same exact brand of cast-iron tea pots look in china-town etc.

I enjoyed your reviews very much. But it would be great to have some comparative price information before I make the trip to each of these places.

I enjoy tea, but I don't have a fine tasting, so I am curious to know how do L'Aroma teas rate in your book? I love the Kyoto rose - hot or cold.

Thank you for all the wonderful info in this website!

Actually, the Teavana location at the Pru has been gone for years. There's one on newbury street though--definitely check it out during warm weather so you can sit outside and enjoy the sun.
