HTeaO in Leesburg Closes After One Year in Business
HTeaO, a specialty tea shop known for its wide variety of flavored teas and healthy snack options, has closed its Leesburg location after one year in operation.
“Unfortunately today is our last day of operation. Thank you to our valued customers,” management said in a statement.
The shop, located next to Wolfy’s at 914 North 14th Street, opened in July 2024. It quickly became known for its unique self-serve tea bar, where customers could sample different blends before choosing their favorites.
