Best places: Tea houses in New York

👍👍 Very cute shop with many different specialty teas you can smell. There is also a tea bar where you can get specialty sizes of the tea. They have black, white, green, fruit, and aged teas. The back room has tons of honey and beeswax products. These make great gifts and little souvenirs.

👍👍 FAVORITE CAFE!!! I come here soooo much with my brother and mom and we always enjoy. They have so much different options and they're all delicious. I recommend to get cherry rose bubble tea 😋, spring rolls, Samosas, and macarons. But everything there is good so get whatever not gonna lie.

Since 1895 this merchant has offered a wide range of coffees plus teas stored in apothecary jars.
