Very quick 2 step interview process, the general manager was friendly and personable. Very good interview for an entry level retail position. I interviewed over 10 years ago and the company no longer exists as it was bought by Starbucks.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Teavana (Lawrenceville, NJ) in Aug 2012
Interview
It was very simple and laid back, I had an interview with another store manager. They asked my values, what I was looking for, they were very flexible with what I was able to work and I got the job on the spot.

Question 1
Tell me how you would sell a top shelf tea to a customer.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Teavana (Newark, DE) in Nov 2017
Interview
I was interviewed over the phone because the store manager loved my references and resume and she already knew she wanted to hire me, but an interview was policy. So I had a 6 minute phone interview.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Teavana (Santa Clara, CA)
Interview
The process began with the store manager offering a drink, on the house, before stepping towards a different location with resume in hand. Once everyone has sat down, the manager overlooked the resume and begins to ask questions of personal background, if there are any retail experience, is there any experience with financial management, and explaining the importance of commitment.
