SEATTLE, 2015-1-15 — /EPR Retail News/ — Teavana is celebrating National Hot Tea Month by encouraging customers to start a new tea ritual with the launch of the new Winterberry Green Tea Blend. Available in all Teavana stores, Winterberry is a radiant blend of high quality green tea infused with flavorful hints of strawberry and citrus. As the New Year starts and resolutions are top of mind, participating Teavana® stores are inviting customers to participate in green tea tasting experiences and receive a free handcrafted Winterberry hot (16 fl. oz) or iced tea (22 fl. oz) beverage Saturday, January 17.
“We are passionate about green tea, and we want to share how delicious and invigorating green tea can be through our new Winterberry blend,” said Annie Young-Scrivner, president, Teavana. “This winter, we welcome customers into our stores to explore the vibrant flavors and super-premium quality of Teavana teas through our handcrafted beverages.

Handcrafted Beverages Steeped with Wellness and Delicious Flavors
The Winterberry beverages are the newest addition to the Teavana® handcrafted beverage menu, joining the selection of green, black, chai, herbal, white and oolong teas brewed hot or iced in stores by Teavana tea experts. The new Winterberry beverages are an ideal starting place for those looking to make green tea a daily ritual.
“Winterberry is a great way to get introduced to and enjoy green tea,” said Naoko Tsunoda, master teaologist, Teavana. “We know from speaking with customers that many people know about the health benefits of green tea, but are looking for a different, more appealing flavor profile. With this in mind, we created Winterberry –an invigorating green tea blended with sweet strawberry, pink grapefruit, citrus lemon and hibiscus. The green tea base is Chinese Xue Long from the famed Silver Needle cultivar from Fujian province.”
In addition to being offered in handcrafted beverages, Winterberry is also available as loose leaf tea that can be brewed at home.
