Starbucks teams up with Oprah for new tea blend
Starbucks partnered with former talk show host and media entrepreneur Oprah Winfrey to launch her own blend of tea, which will be available in Starbucks and Teavana locations nationwide. Teavana Oprah Chai is a spicy blend combining black tea, rooibos and several spices, including pepper, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom and cloves. Oprah, a self-professed tea lover, created the blend herself and presented it at Starbucks annual meeting last week alongside company CEO Howard Schultz. Oprah's share of the proceeds will be donated to the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy Foundation to benefit educational opportunities for youth.
