ANNAPOLIS, MD — An Annapolis-based tea vendor once again has a physical store.

The company, Capital Teas, recently reopened a location at the Westfield Annapolis mall. The business previously opened a shop there in 2015, but the retailer eventually shifted to an online operation. The brick-and-mortar store is back, however.

"It's a different time, a different mindset, and a smaller/more coordinated team," Capital Teas said on Instagram. "We are confident in this decision."

"Just stopped by earlier today and everyone was so helpful and friendly," customer Gidget Faulkner said Saturday on Facebook. " Thanks for a great shopping experience. I'm sitting here drinking the Roasted Almond tea and it is delicious! I'll definitely be back!"
