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.

As one might expect, excellent selection of puer teas, both raw and cooked. Owner is very knowledgeable. Store space is well-curated and aesthetically pleasing

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.

Great please to unwind. Love the owner passion about just relaxing and enjoy tea time! 🥰

The tea is good, but the energy here is condescending and oddly self-important.
I understand and respect the rules around photography, but the way it’s enforced feels less about preserving sacredness and more about shaming people for being too shallow to appreciate what the store offers.
Before the owner replies with the usual character judgement or passive aggressive response (as he often does), I’ll just say this: when so many people walk away feeling unwelcome, it’s worth asking why. Sometimes it’s not about defending your ego. Sometimes it’s about asking whether you’re creating a space that welcomes curiosity or one that feels hostile to anyone who doesn’t already “get it”.

Amazing stuff

Such a weird, unwelcoming, and unfriendly atmosphere from some of the men working there. I walked out of there wishing I didn’t spend over $100 on tea / other goods. I’ll stick to the other tea houses like Te Company in the West Village and Kettl in Greenpoint.

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.
fantastic tea shop with amazing vibes! very knowledgeable staff and great selection of teas! it’s the perfect place to relax and detox from the bustle of the city.
the highlight is the tea tasting. highly recommend to anyone in the city. the perfectly curated atmosphere downstairs is fantastic whether to catch up with a friend or to focus on the tea itself! the owners have done an impressive job offering a space without the distraction of digital devices, making puerh brooklyn one of the few places in the city where you can truly be present. williamsburg (and the rest of us) are very lucky to have them!

The person manning the store didn’t give me any helpful information about the tea I was looking to buy (“you’ll know how it tastes when you buy it”) and was rude and condescending.

Nice tea shop but very bad attitude. I was attempted to buy some tea. However, the staff were arrogant and rude. Highly over priced too
