Teavana Tea Alternatives: 7 Closest Swaps (2026)

Zen is the nearest thing to Jade Citrus Mint you can buy for under $10. Teavana's blend puts green tea together with spearmint, lemongrass and lemon verbena. TAZO Zen is built on the same frame: green tea, cooling spearmint and a bright lemongrass lift. It is not a clone, the citrus reads a little softer, but the cup lands in the same place: a clean, lightly minty, caffeinated green tea that works hot or iced.

There is some family history here too. Starbucks owned TAZO before it bought Teavana, and Zen was on Starbucks menus for years before Teavana replaced it. For more on how the two brands split, see our TAZO vs Teavana comparison. Steep green tea in water just off the boil and pull the bag at 3 minutes; longer steeps turn any green tea bitter.

This is the most direct answer to the question most Teavana searchers are really asking: how do I make the Medicine Ball at home? Starbucks' Honey Citrus Mint Tea is two Teavana sachets (Jade Citrus Mint and Peach Tranquility) in hot water and steamed lemonade, with honey. TAZO's concentrate bottles the green tea half with the honey already in: green tea, spearmint, lemongrass and lemon verbena, sweetened with honey and cane sugar.

The trade-off is control. You cannot make it less sweet, and a carton needs the fridge once opened. If you want an unsweetened cup, TAZO Zen bags above are the better buy.

Peach Tranquility is chamomile, lemon verbena, rosehips, orange peel, candied pineapple and peach flavor. Clipper's Chamomile & Peach overlaps on most of that: chamomile as the base (about three quarters of the blend, per Clipper), then rosehip, orange peel and natural peach, mango and orange flavorings. The result is the same soft, apricot-ish, floral cup, a touch less candied than Teavana's because there is no dried pineapple.

Use it two ways: on its own as an evening cup, or as the peach half of a homemade Medicine Ball alongside TAZO Zen. Clipper is a British brand known for organic and unbleached bags; our Clipper tea review covers the rest of the range, and our best chamomile tea guide has plainer options.

Youthberry was the fruity one: a white tea base with hibiscus and berry and tropical fruit notes, one of the six sachets Teavana launched in grocery stores in 2018. It is hard to find in stock now, and nothing sold widely copies it exactly. Taylors' White Hibiscus & Peach comes closest on how it drinks. It pairs a light sencha green tea with white hibiscus and peach, giving a pale, soft, gently fruity cup with a little caffeine, rather than the sour red punch of a straight hibiscus tea.

If what you miss about Youthberry is the tart berry color more than the tea base, look at a hibiscus berry blend instead; our hibiscus tea guide covers those. For more on the Yorkshire blender behind this box, see our Taylors of Harrogate review.

Teavana's Imperial Spiced Chai was a spiced black tea, and its old loose-leaf wall was full of big, aromatic, almost candy-like blends. Harney & Sons Hot Cinnamon Spice scratches that itch better than any grocery chai. It is black tea with cinnamon, orange peel and cloves, and the cinnamon is loud enough that the cup tastes lightly sweet with nothing added.

Harney is also the closest thing left to the old Teavana store experience: a deep catalog of flavored blends, sold in sachets, tins and loose leaf. Our Harney & Sons review walks through the rest of the line.

Teavana's Earl Grey Crème was an Earl Grey softened with vanilla notes, and it was one of the six sachets in the 2018 grocery launch. Art of Tea's Earl Grey Creme is the same style, pushed up a level: organic black tea, bergamot and French vanilla in roomy pyramid sachets, which is the format Teavana drinkers are used to.

Vanilla Earl Grey is the classic base for a London Fog (Earl Grey, steamed milk and vanilla syrup). With the vanilla already in the leaf, you can skip most of the syrup; our London Fog guide has the method. For the brand's wider range, see our Art of Tea review.

Teavana still exists, just not as a store. Starbucks closed all 379 Teavana mall stores in 2017 and 2018, then relaunched the name as boxed sachets in grocery stores. On September 29, 2026 this 24-count Earl Grey box was one of the few Teavana SKUs on Amazon that was in stock and priced like normal tea. The Teavana English Breakfast 24-count box was in stock at a similar price too.

In the cup it is a solid, brisk Earl Grey with a clear bergamot note, good with or without milk, rather than a specialty tea. Buy it if brand loyalty matters or you want the exact Earl Grey you get in a Starbucks cafe.
