The only traditional tea house in the area
感谢?Vivian!
Amidst the hustle and bustle of city life sits this serene haven of tea?
I tried Ya Shi Xiang tea and immediately felt goosebumps of mood enhancing flavors from the first sip. Vivian said that the owner personally travels to just four farms in China to source these delicacies.
I also enjoyed chatting with Vivian. She pays a lot of attention to each guest, welcoming them into the tea room. So it felt like visiting a cozy home.
If you are comfortable with the prices shown in the other photos, I recommend this as a rejuvenating getaway close to the subway. Mental health is important ?

Very intimate and zen tea tasting experience. You have to take your shoes off and sit on the floor and enjoy tea the traditional way. The menu offered extensive Chinese tea offerings so we had a lot to choose from. We ended up choosing jasmine and purple robe and we were happy with both choices. It is quite expensive (85$ for 2) but you go for the vibes and experience. Service was convivial and ambiance was very relaxing. Overall fun experience.
Really wonderful place to enjoy great tea, teaware and atmosphere, highly recommended
Vivian really brought the atmosphere to life. She told us about her favorite pot “the tricky monkey” and the culture and history. It was wonderful. Thank you Vivian for making Rachel’s birthday wonderful.

Overrated! The prices are ridiculous and the tea mediocre. I appreciated we could stay seated have have unlimited refills, but the room smells like feet and the tea is not worth it at all unfortunately

Really nice spot to have a tea and chill. Had the Radiance which was smooth and great for the evening. They have a wide range of teas, the floor seating and proper preparations. The place is white pricey I must say. And the ambiance could be better. The first thing I smelled was stinky shoes when I walked in.Still, overall really nice experience must wish they would bring prices down or advertise better why prices are so high and decorate a bit more.

The shop was quiet and serene when we came in. Within 15 minutes, though, three other groups arrived and began talking LOUDLY. There was no attempt made to restore the atmosphere, and we had to just sit and endure the cacophony (about tech jobs, college classes, gossip – the usual nyc fare among our zillennial age group) for the rest of our time there. The tea shop is not designed for loud conversations, so the sound reverberated and became even louder. The two of us paid $50+ for the tea (good tea, but still just tea), and the atmosphere of any basic Manhattan coffee shop. We had been looking forward to the relaxed vibes FMTH used to have (I came once before pre-COVID, and it was lovely and quiet), but it seems to have been ruined by its clientele. At these prices you’re paying for the experience, and we unfortunately left feeling like we had not gotten what we paid for.Edit to respond to the shop’s response:We went on a weekday early afternoon, which is supposedly a quiet time. If our experience was “quiet”, I’m horrified to think of what a busy day sounds like.

Great experience and great service. Very zen place to relax for a while, enjoy some tea, read a book. Pot for two seems pricey but gets refilled many times and is well worth
