Starbucks to open its first Tazo Tea store in Seattle

Starbucks' Tazo tea store -- expected to open this fall in Seattle's University Village area -- will sell hot and iced tea drinks and tea lattes. It will also have a blending station where customers can create their own versions of Tazo's existing teas.

"We want to raise customer expectations for tea the same way Starbucks did for coffee," says Charlie Cain, a Tazo vice president.
