Had a great experience here. My sister and I went in to enjoy some quality tea and were pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere—very zen, unique, artistic. It’s well curated. We inquired about the tea menu and the staff took the time to explain the various tea varieties and options. We selected a tea from a 100+ year old tea tree. We carried the expectation that we’d get a sampling of teas based on our experience of other tea shops, but only had a single tea here which we still really enjoyed. While some of the teas are pricey, the prices are listed so not sure why people are upset by it.

Immaculately curated space with high quality teas at all price points. Well worth a visit if seeking a respite from the bustle of NYC or if interested in gong fu steeping. This venue stands out as a singular gem in a city that expects rarefied offerings as commonplace.

First, the photos of the place are dated and do not reflect its transformation into a true art space over the years. Second, ignore one star comments. This place set its boundaries and demands respect for a reason. After 6-9 ceremony cups of uninterrupted puerh bliss you’ll get it.

I love this tea shop! The staff is very informative and the owner is very passionate about tea. I came a couple of months ago and bought a bunch of tea based off the recommendations of the staff. I love the Bedtime tea - it’s become a nighttime staple. The Earl Grey is absolutely amazing. I came back for a refill and was told to keep the canister as it’s meant to be refilled. Love this! Definitely recommend to those who love tea and want great quality.

Wonderful experience. Learned a lot about tea and really recommend this experience if you want a meditative and calm experience. I asked to take a photo of the tea offering space. Overall very respectful experience if you come in with respect.
