 * Article appears well-written and well-sourced, and the date and length check out. No issues with plagiarism. The hook is catchy and of adequate length, but I do have two suggestions.
 * Specify the scale on which it's ranked the largest. Is it the largest chain in the United States? In the world? I see that the source of this fact doesn't clarify that, so if you can't find out elsewhere, I don't think it's a huge problem to leave the hook as is.
 * I don't know. I have only seen this fact in one source.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:20, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Specify what kind of chain Argo Tea is. I think that context makes it obvious that it's a chain of some kind of tea vendor, but I'd prefer to see a tighter description, such as:
 * (ALT1) ... that Argo Tea is the world's/United States' largest chain of cafés devoted to tea, which is the world's most widely consumed beverage after water?
 * Actually, I think that the first fact is interesting enough to stand on its own. Although mention of tea's worldwide popularity is also interesting, I don't think the hook would be too badly off without it. I'd also be fine with:
 * (ALT2) ... that Argo Tea is the largest chain of tea cafés in the world/United States ?

The issue with the hook at WT:DYK needs resolved. r ʨ anaɢ (talk) 23:59, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

When this was in prep area 1, changed the hook to (ALT4)"... that Argo Tea is a chain of cafés focused on the world's most popular beverage after water?" with this edit leading to the discussion at WT:DYK. I no longer contest that change and am in support of ALT4 running.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 18:29, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I guess ALT4 would be okay. Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:21, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting keep.svg ALT4 only. No issues with the article, it seems, just the hook wording. ALT4 was proposed by Kevin McE and was decided to be the most accurate hook Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:50, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
