SEATTLE — Starbucks said Friday it will change three Teavana tea bars in New York into Starbucks stores and close the Beverly Hills, Calif., location after deciding to peddle Teavana beverages through its mainstream cafes. A Teavana tea bar in Seattle, which opened in 2013, will remain open, the company said.
The tea bars helped deepen Starbucks’ foray into designer tea after it bought Teavana for $616 million in 2012.
