Across the nation, tea is one of the strongest trends at the moment.
Are young adults getting tired of Starbucks filling the landscape
or do they need even more variation? Whatever the case may be, from
corner teashops to supermarket aisles, tea is everywhere. The post-dot
com and post-war landscape has resulted in people moving at a slower
pace and focusing on values, spirituality and quality of life more
than they did in the 80’s and 90’s when the mentality was markedly
more work-driven. Since the dot-com heyday, Starbucks has been popping
up on every corner to satisfy the person who wants their caffeine
on the go. Yet Starbucks has now become an image of Middle America
and the homogenization of the country (if not the Western world).
Recent news that tea helps to boost immunity is only part of the reason
that teahouses are now replacing the popularity of Starbucks.
In Chicago, Argo Tea is ready to take on coffee with its flagship
