Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX) founder, president, chairman and CEO Howard Schultz is amped about the company's partnership with Oprah Winfrey. He discussed their new product for their Teavana business called Teavana Oprah Chai with CNBC's Jim Cramer Wednesday. “We discovered Oprah is passionate about tea and chai,” said Schultz, citing that they've been friends for years, and that the idea to partner up came up at a friend's wedding. Starting April 29, Teavana Oprah Chai will be available in Teavana locations throughout North America. “We are going to raise so much awareness inside Starbucks, where 70 million people come a week, of Teavana and Oprah Chai…It'll create so much awareness and traffic for the Teavana brand,” said Schultz.
