Té Company

15 Great Asian-Owned Coffee And Tea Shops In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"Does sitting in a relaxing zen tea room inside a West Village townhouse sound like the perfect Saturday afternoon? Say no more. Té Company serves up to 30 different kinds of teas alongside a light lunch menu and baked snacks. Taiwanese-American owner Elena Liao and her husband Frederico Ribeiro founded Té Company a decade ago to help drive awareness of premium Taiwanese teas and make them more accessible. As you might’ve guessed, “Te” means tea in Taiwanese and was decided as the name because it’s a connection to Liao’s family and lineage from Fujin. Try a pot of the wild chrysanthemum herbal tea for a calming and lightly sweet flavor and definitely grab one of the very popular pineapple Linzer cookies." - esther cho, with warm welcome, kenny yang
