Flight of Teas! December 30th & 31st

Hello all! We hope you tea fans had a fabulous holiday this past weekend. As we say goodbye to 2011 and welcome the new year, this weekend we will be serving a flight of just good ol' enjoyable teas: White Fairy, Nahorhabi Full, & Yerba Mate.


Picked from the Hunan Province, White Fairy is a white tea with big green twists, creating a slightly sweet but stronger brew. Quickly becoming a favorite amongst the staff of our white tea selection, this delicate but highly caffeinated tea will become a favorite of yours too!

This full-leaf Assam, picked from the estate of Nahorhabi holds a toasted malt flavor with aromas of a cooked honey. Lighter in body than our broken leaf Assams, Nahorhabi Full is an enjoyable Indian tea that is for those who enjoy the bite of Assams, but a little less astringency.



Yerba Mate is a South American beverage, holding a tradition of being enjoyed by gauchos (cowboys) in Argentina. The twist? Though Mate is in the herbal family, it does still contain caffeine! Similar in flavor to a green, this tisane has a grassy and vegetal aroma and taste. 


*Our flight is being served on Friday and Saturday. We are closed for New Years Day! See everyone in 2012!

Flight of Seasonal Teas! December 23rd & 24th!

As we come closer to this major holiday weekend, here at the shop we are offering a flight of seasonal, sweet teas to not only give you that extra kick of holiday spirit, but also calm and relax you as the chaos of the holidays creeps closer! Also, we will be having our flight on Friday the 23rd and Saturday the 24th, because our shop will be closed Sunday, Christmas Day.  Also, don't forget!  We will be closing our doors at 5pm on Christmas Eve!




With its sweet and nutty flavor, White Christmas can put anyone in the holiday spirit. Our hand-picked white tea is blended with vanilla, almonds, cardamon and accented with white chamomile flowers. A must-have for Christmas morning, this blend will not only compliment any Christmas cookie, but also take your taste buds on a sleigh ride!



Introducing our brand new Soho Blend! In honor of our SoHo shop, just passing its one year anniversary, Emeric Harney (our store manager) has created the ultimate dessert tea to entice the taste buds of our favorite neighborhood. Black tea with chocolate, coconut, and vanilla, we are proud to present our newest creation in honor of our newest location! A perfect gift to give, too!

As we rush around trying to find the perfect gift for that special someone, take a moment to unwind with some caffeine-free Herbal Holiday. This blend of rooibos, almond, spices, and notes of citrus can be enjoyed any evening without taking the flavor out of the holidays. A play on one of our classic favorites, Holiday black tea, not only will this tea be a hit this season, but also Santa's little secret to staying relaxed!

The holidays are just around the corner and we here at the shop will tea ready! This weekend, as you find that last perfect present, come stop by the shop and taste our seasonal teas! White Christmas, Holiday, & Hot Cinnamon Spice.

A must-have for Christmas morning, this blend will not only compliment any Christmas cookie, but also take your taste buds on a sleigh ride!


This black tea blend of citrus, spice, and almond is a classic that can't be forgotten this season. Holiday tea reminds us of our mother's baking for Santa Claus and can even be reminiscent of the holiday wreaths hung on the fire mantle. Sweet with a hint of spice, Holiday tea is the perfect gift for those you love, or even a sweet treat for yourself. 


Our top selling black tea blend, Hot Cinnamon Spice, is a strongly-flavored black tea that will awaken your taste buds! With three types of cinnamon, clove, and orange peel, this sweet brew will convince even the grumpiest scrooge that there is actual sugar in it! (but it is sugar-free, don't worry.) Available in any form to purchase, Hot Cinnamon Spice is #1 for a reason; come taste why.

Flight of Teas! December 10th & 11th

Hello all! This weekend we are recognizing some of our unique blends that are seasonal, yet traditional! Come try our Winter White Earl Grey, Chocolate Mint, & Herbal Hot Cinnamon.



Winter White Earl Grey is based with our Mutan White tea, blended with lemony bergamot for a refreshing twist on the classic Earl Grey. This blend is perfect for the holiday season or to partake in any time of the year for that breakfast tea taste, yet light-bodied brew. Packed with antioxidants and caffeine, Winter White Earl Grey is not only delightful but beneficial as well.


Known as an after-dinner delight, our Chocolate Mint tea is the perfect dessert tea to serve this holiday season. Black tea based, this blend is a combination of chocolate flavoring and our peppermint leaves. Sweet yet refreshing, Chocolate Mint is a great way to curb that craving for an extra piece of dessert at the table or to simply just indulge in.

A play on our number one seller, Hot Cinnamon Spice, Herbal Hot Cinnamon is a Rooibos-based blend with three types of cinnamon. With no caffeine naturally, Herbal Hot Cinnamon is a great indulgence for those who don't want the caffeine, but still crave good flavor! Heavy in taste but a medium-bodied brew, this herbal is perfect for any cold night at home or  for an after-dinner delight.
