T Shop

TShop was an amazing experience! We had a tea tasting with Teresa and could not have asked for a better experience. While our timing was a little off (we had to wait about fifteen minutes and then went half an hour later than originally scheduled) every other detail was amazing. Teresa asked about our tea preferences and experiences and curated an individual tea tasting experience, full of interesting history and information. The place is small – there was one other group when we started and another which walked in right before we left, but had the place to ourselves for most of the experience. We tried Taiwanese, Chinese, and Korean teas, which were each steeped four different times. As we tried each, Teresa shared with us the history and traditions of the teas, the significance behind different practices, and her personal experiences of visiting different tea regions across the world. We will definitely be back 🫖

Very neat, quiet, intentional and intimate tea room in the heart of soho. Limited seating so either reserve seats for a tasting or get lucky with walking in to some availability. They also offer tea to go, but it feels like a place that you ought to go to experience the tea. The lady who served us was very knowledgeable and thoroughly explained a few different teas when we asked for her suggestions. Extensive menu if you know your teas. I will be back to learn more.

My friend and I decided to take a chance and visit on a Monday afternoon, and it ended up being the best hour spent. We were lucky to be the only ones in the shop. The owner recommended an oolong tea and we did a tasting where she steeped the same tea five times. It was quiet and contemplative, and she had a wealth of knowledge about tea and guided us through the experience. The shop is quiet, cozy, and full of beautiful tea ceramics. We left feeling a complete energy shift - grounded, joyful, relaxed. Highly recommend!!

I emailed to inquire whether we could have a tea tasting and met with Hyun, one of the owners. She helped me decide on some aged raw puerh that was incredibly potent and forced us all to focus on the experience. We followed that up with a roasty Wuyi oolong and ended with a smooth and sweet Wuyi black tea. I would highly recommend the Tea Journey to anyone from absolute tea beginner to tea aficionado. Can't wait to revisit New York City specifically to return and visit again!

Stunning teas and tea-ware. Tea Journey was so enjoyable. This shop & the proprietress are amazing! Can’t wait to return.
