HTeaO is the way to go! I'm not a coffee drinker, so I definitely prefer tea, and this is such a…read moregreat concept!
Imagine if you will...a sweltering Texas summer day...in December. You're walking along the desert plains...along Nacogdoches Rd, when suddenly, over the horizon, you spot a sign...or is it? You squint, and rub your eyes to make sure that it isn't a mirage. You realize it's not. You have stumbled onto an oasis of refreshment! As you step through the doors and feel that blast from the air curtain, you have arrived. As you survey the area, you spot an endless array of bubbling fountains, as far as the eye can see...a nirvana...nay, a Teavana. No, strike that.
I must be thinking of a different tea place that no longer exists.
Where was I? Oh yes, the infinite fountains of flavor; from the sweetened to unsweetened, the flavor combinations are endless. I have heard rumors that there are 502,789,463,081,222 flavor combos that you can try. I have visited multiple locations around the greater San Antonio area in the year that I have lived here, and I have tried approximately 2 flavor combinations. So, I guess I have my work cut out for me.
There are plenty of sizes to choose from, 5 to be exact. 24oz, 32oz, 40oz, 44oz (foam cup), and a 51oz. You can also get gallon sizes as well. Mini, Half, and full Gallon. Also, they have some of the most luxe ice around. Myself, I prefer no ice in my drinks. (I like to get my money's worth) You can also add fresh fruit mix-ins: lemon, lime, and/or orange slices, as well as cherries. One thing that I would love to be able to see is, maybe set out some flavored creamers or syrups, as to enhance the experience, by being able to customize your own drinks. Probably too much of an ask. But, the suggestion has at least been made.
Also, just in case you need your coffee fix, they got you. As well as hot chocolate, hot tea, snacks, lip balm, and they even have bulk water and ice available for purchase, not to mention plenty of branded merch.
Overall, this a definitely a great place to come and quench your thirst. In my experience, the staff has always been friendly, as they greet you when you come in, and usually thank you for coming in and invite you back. Every location that I have been to has been spotless and well organized. Thank goodness I never have to travel too far to have my beverage needs met.
