Starbucks has apparently developed a taste for tea.

The coffee giant has agreed to pay $620 million for tea company Teavana Holdings , saying it is looking to "innovate and transform" the "dynamic category" of tea with the "next wave of growth."

You know, Tea. That "dynamic" beverage people have been drinking for thousands of years.

Here's the flowering press release on the deal:

Furthering its commitment to innovate and transform the tea industry and enhance the consumer tea experience in the U.S. and internationally, Starbucks Coffee Company (NASDAQ:SBUX) has agreed to acquire Teavana Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: TEA) in an all-cash acquisition.
