Tea - City of New York

The lady at the counter is welcoming and kind. She helped me pick out my order. While the service and tea was great, I wish there was a public bathroom! All that tea does something to you. She kindly directed me to the Whole Foods that does have a bathroom.

Lots of herbal tea options and 2xpert consultancy for helping select. Great place for tea aficionados!

Edit- This cafe is CLOSED probably permanently.My favorite thing about this place is that they have several flavors of teas (iced or hot). It's excellent. Pastries are good too. It's not really a lunch place, but it's alright.

I must say I’m not sure if I can call myself a tea lover of a tea expert, but boy this one was really really good. I’m going back there I want to take my mom when she comes to the city, as tea is all she drinks and the other stuff she gets back upstate is not that great . I’m sure she will keep talking about it to her friends. The ambiance is just right, but the servers are very accommodating and attentive.

A nice way to pass some time relaxing and experiencing a variety of hot or cold tea options. Seating is limited to a bar that faces the window but it's nice to have a seat on a hot summer day inside. Person working did seem knowledgable and was possible to have a conversation about options especially if you're undecided.Some notes though: no bathroom, limited samples to 3 options although the first 2 I didn't specifically ask for, no published tasting notes so you have to guess at the flavor profiles for a long list of flavors.
