Interest in tea brewing in Detroit
The Detroit metropolitan area is seeing a surge in tea establishments. The tea wave sweeping Motor City comes in the form of a variety of individually owned teashops, restaurants and retailers offering a more relaxing setting for caffeine lovers. According to the article published in the Detroit News, as the coffee market becomes saturated, many local entrepreneurs turn to tea for an alternative source of business. But many identify Starbucks' purchase of Teavana last year as the key event in bringing tea to the mass market. Local business owners are now certain that this newfound interest in tea on behalf of the general public is more than a fad.
