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!

Fantastic experience! Theresa is an excellent host, and the teas were phenomenal. I absolutely recommend booking the tea journey- it was worth every penny, and I learned so much!

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 am so glad to have found T Shop. “Tea journeys” (tastings of three teas) with Theresa have become part of my weekly ritual of late, and I am so grateful for Theresa’s wisdom and for the practice. I have also had “tea at the table” with friends for a more casual but equally wonderful experience. In both instances, T Shop is a beautiful oasis and a perfect antidote to the NYC bustle, not to mention the tea is of amazing quality and, if you ask Theresa / Hyun, there is a story behind each one. I can’t encourage others to try it enough! (They also do to-go cups if that is more your speed at the moment.)

I’m so glad one of my friends introduced me to this hidden gem!
The quiet tearoom offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the street. It’s tucked behind a psychic shop, so you have to walk through a corridor to get to it, with no storefront directly on the sidewalk.
The warm, relaxing decor creates the perfect atmosphere for both good conversation and enjoying delicious tea. We tried the Royal Oolong, which was beautifully roasted, and I’m already looking forward to returning to explore more of their offerings!

Hidden gem in soho! Enjoyed the oolong and the calm energy in here :)

I've done the tea journey here three times and absolutely loved it. Theresa, the owner, is so knowledgeable about every aspect of the tea, from the logistics of how it is made to the spiritual side of tea drinking and the embodied experience. It's honestly such a unique experience and I really recommend it if you're looking to learn more about tea but also self reflect.

This tea shop is a real hidden gem. It is a little hard to spot, but well worth the effort. Inside, you'll find a reprieve from the busyness of the city and quiet place to enjoy a cup of tea.
The owner is very welcoming and is more than happy to share her experience. There is a wide selection of teas of all kinds. I had the honey orchid phoenix oolong. It was well balanced and smooth with an wonderful finish.
I highly recommend a visit, especially if you are into Chinese teas.

had the upmost DISpleasure of meeting the owner of this shop at the great foods expo in Edison nj on 11/10. Unfortunately, this lady will fat shame you to tears in order to have her weight loss tea sold. I was just simply minding business and enjoying the neighbor vendor when she came up to me and said i was way too young to look the way i do. Excuse me? who do you think you are? and i found that this was AFTER you had questioned why my sister would not sell your mediocre product at her store. I am simply disgusted. Talking about how must weight you lost because of this tea - if INSULTING YOUR CUSTOMERS is your business tactic, i’d quit while you’re ahead.

I've done a couple tea tastings at T Shop, the most recent one being earlier this summer. Theresa and Hyun are excellent guides and know their teas so well. I was so impressed with the tasting Theresa put together for me on this most recent trip. Offering just a few sparse details about the type of experience I was looking for, Theresa seemed to know exactly what would feel right. I felt cared for as a customer and respected and invested in as a fellow tea drinker. And the teas...really wonderful. You cant tell a lot of thought and effort goes into the curation of their collection. The shop is cozy, clean, and quiet. I can't wait until my next trip!
The tea tasting is a wonderful activity to do with friends, coworkers, or even a group of strangers. This quiet tearoom is hidden at the end of a corridor, so it really feels like a refuge. Hyun, one of the owners, took ample time to share expertise, accommodate our questions, and was always kind and patient. An absolutely worth it experience for tea beginners, enthusiasts, or experts!
