Mall retailer Teavana is asking consumers: Who can make the best tea blend?

The Atlanta-based company on June 29 launched its Tea Master's Challenge, a blending contest that invites contestants to use Teavana's 108 different varieties of tea, along with certain sweeteners, to make their own special concoction. Out of six finalists, one grand prize winner will be chosen for a $500 gift card. His or her blend will be sold on the Teavana Web site this fall and winter.

Anybody who wants to can vote on blends online until August 16th. The blender who gets the most online votes will win a $200 gift card and a pound of his or her blend.

Complete rules for the contest are available at http://www.teavana.com/teamasterschallenge/rules.
