Starbucks is of course known for its coffee and some folks swear by it; telling us it is the only coffee they will drink. Indeed Starbucks is glad to see this as their average store does $85,000 in gross revenue per month. But did you know that not all of that is Frappachinos, Coffee, Pastries and Retail Cups and Coffee Makers?

Many of the purchases at Starbucks are those folks buying Tea. And Starbucks has quite a selection too. Howard Shultz the Founder of what is now the modern day Starbucks is quite pleased with the companys tea sales and plans on further boosting them and getting more customers to drink their tea. Tazo Tea is a Starbucks Groupies favorite for sure.

Where does all this Tea come from you ask? Well the answer is quite a fascinating story in itself; it comes from all over the World actually. Places like India, Sri Lanka, China, Japan, Africa and many of the other major tea producing regions of the World. This is because Sub-Tropical areas help evergreen tea shrubs grow very well. And this is where Starbucks gets its Green Teas and Black Teas from you see?

Starbucks also has Herbal Teas, but these do not come from Tea Leaves, rather from Flowers, roots, bark, berries, herbs, spices and even fruit skins. Only a few of these teas have any caffeine in them and most are caffeine free. You owe it to yourself to learn all the types of teas available at your local Starbucks. So, consider this in 2006.
