All your hot drinks are belong to Starbucks. At least, that's what it seems like now that the Seattle coffee empire just snapped up tea retailer Teavana for a cool $620 million. The tea company has roughly 300 shopping mall stores, including ones in Pacific Place Mall and Bellevue Square. Starbucks also recently opened its first Tazo tea store in Seattle, so if you didn't already know tea is the new coffee, now you do. [Reuters]
