摘要

Not since it was a British colony has America been so fixated on tea. Fifteen years ago there were a mere 200 tearooms in the U.S. Today there are nearly 3,000, according to the New York-based Tea Association of the USA. The tea shop craze arguably started in 2003 with the opening of Argo Tea's tearoom in Chicago's yuppie Lincoln Park neighborhood. "A lot of people thought it was insanity," says Chief Executive Officer Arsen Avakian, who saw a gap in the market after realizing that Americans knew only "the crappy tea bag." Avakian dreamed of creating a tea experience with cafes offering modern twists on traditional brews. "Apple completely revolutionized the computer business," he says. "We're hoping to do that with tea!" So far it's working. Argo now has 19 stores from New York to St. Louis, and tea drinks make up 80 percent of its roughly $15 million in annual sales, Avakian says.
