Teaopia on South Bayvew now closed

Clearing out at Teaopia
The Teaopia store at 1592 Bayview Ave. is now closed and they were cleaning up Monday. The shop is for lease. It previously held the premises of the Tea Emporium.  Teaopia locations have been slowly re-branded across Canada after being purchased last year by the enormous U.S. tea chain Teavana. Teavena was then purchased by Starbucks early in 2013. It appears the Teavana name will stick. Starbucks probably doesn’t want to mix tea and coffee. There are 50 Teavana (Teaopia) shops in Ontario.  There are, however, only seven in Toronto. They are at Scotia Plaza, Queen West and Portland, Yorkdale, Brookfield Place on Bay Street, Fairview Mall, Holt Renfrew on Bloor  and the Shops at Don Mills.
