Far better than what I was expecting when I first visited. My first and second visits, I couldn't decide between the sweet coconut and sweet mint, so I got the coconut and topped with a little mint. Third visit it was time to change, so I mixed sweet blueberry green tea with caffeine-free unsweetened blueberry tea...and took home a gallon of unsweetened coconut! Haven't been disappointed yet!!

Prices are reasonable (cups are all under $3, about $3.50-3.75 for half gallon and around $5.50-5.75 for a gallon). Half price happy hour from 2-4p.

They have complimentary sliced oranges, limes, and lemons for drinks as well as cups ($?? for 2oz, $2.99 for 8oz, $5.99 for 16oz) for a selection of fruits (plus mint leaves). Pre-bottled teas(quart, half gallon, gallon) are available in coolers to the right of the cash register and if they don't have the flavor you want, just ask them.

The store has a selection of cups/mugs and Yeti coolers and I think a few snacks (Cliff bars???) by the counter, but I haven't really looked at all these things, just the tea.

The only negative is that they only have one flavor that is caffeine free (unsweetened blueberry). It's not a problem for me, but my mother is sensitive to caffeine and won't drink any after noon (no coffee, no tea, no caffeinated sodas), so I've had to buy half gallons to take home for her to drink in the morning. Well actually there's a second negative: no store in Winter Haven! But that's a good thing...

Even for a not really tea lover such as myself, HTeaO is a whole lotto of fun!

There are teas of I swear just about every flavor to choose from. Peach, blueberry, mango, pink lemonade, coconut, chai, mint, and there was even a root beer flavored specialty tea (specialtea? get it?) last time I went. It sounds super disgusting but it was oddly a nice taste.

Even more fun, you can take a couple of all these flavor options and mix them. Who says you need to limit yourself to just one flavor? Booooringggg. And, if you go inside to get your tea it’s a help-yourself style so you could even go crazy enough to get a graveyard tea (where you take a little of every flavor). Not so sure how that’d turn out, but hey you could do it if you so desired.

They do also have a drive thru, and since it’s just teas it’s very quick and convenient. The prices are cheap but even better if you catch them at happy hour. To...
