After months of waiting, HTeaO has opened its doors to offer a new way of experiencing tea for the people of Bartlesville.
Upon entering the store, customers are greeted by high-energy employees with a “Texas vibe” and a “unique and refreshing” party ambiance, says Store Manager Matt Clark.
While one might expect a lineup of traditional hot teas, HTeaO specializes in iced tea −.26 flavors to be exact.
There are no tables and chairs in the store — this isn’t the Starbucks of tea. The store is designed for grabbing your drink and some snacks and going on your way.
Clark said many first-time customers are surprised by the variety of wares that adorn the shelves of the store. Many high-end brands like Yeti and Pelican line the walls from floor to ceiling.
“I think people aren’t expecting all the different stuff we have,” Clark said.
Great tea starts with great water; that’s why HTeaO first purifies its water with a reverse osmosis system and then polishes the water with minerals to make its tea stand out even more.
