Starbucks Corp., the world’s largest coffee-shop operator, will open its first tea-only store in October under the Tazo brand.

The shop will sell more than 80 varieties of loose-leaf tea, which will be priced by the ounce, said Holly Hart, a spokeswoman for Seattle-based Starbucks. While there are no immediate plans to open more stores, the company may consider additional Tazo shops “if we see another opportunity where a location is the right fit,” Hart said.
