Teavana is awesome. However, I don't think the clientele would overlap, that much. They are pretty much straightforward exotic teas. I have spent way too much money there.

They have one in another mall not too far away. I may take a ride over there tomorrow and check it out. If it's pretty much limited to just teas and tea accessories then I could certainly move ahead with just the coffee, spices and kitchy kitchen things.

I went with the mall but the price of our local mall is driving out their businesses so maybe a downtown or strip mall would make more sense for a start up in this economical environment.
