Knowledgeable Staff, Delicious Tea and a Relaxing Environment

We discovered this little gem through an on-line article that listed the 10 best tea houses in the World. We were thrilled to find out that one of the ten was in Rochester. The rated is well-deserved. We enjoyed everything about our experience. We also purchase tea and take it home so the deliciousness and relaxation continue...

Best Tea of 2019

This is my go to tea of the year. I was instantly hooked when I tasted this cup of spring tea that had such a peculiar flavor. Became my go to feel good tea and my Mom and I can't seem to get enough. Definitely my favorite of the 2019 teas in my opinion. It is reminiscent of oolong and white tea though to be fair this tea doesn't quite belong to any particular type in terms of flavor. It is so unique in its taste and is always a delight to drink. Everyone I've had taste it says its good as well so its not just me. Definitely worth a try if you like light and floral tea. Truly spring in a cup.

2019 Jun Chiyabari Pure Heaven

Last year I chose the Jun Chiyabari 1st flush over the Darjeelings that have been my tea of choice for decades. I just made my 1st cup of the JC 19 wondering how it was going to beat 18. Well it is just like drinking nectar of the gods. It is light and floral but still a good strong cup. Grateful to Niraj for being able to walk into a Rochester store and buy some of the best tea in the world.

Thank you Ruhi! Your kindness and generous support of our shop is deeply appreciated. "Nectar of gods" we often use that phrase to describe exceptional teas!

Nuanced, Light, Multifaceted

A beautiful array of flavors, and aromas. Refreshingly light, but packing flavor. Pure elegance. Exceptional. While I've reviewed this tea before, this is for the 2017 batch.

Beautiful Tea

This is a beautiful tea. Taste is slightly perfumey, but pleasantly so, and there is a welcoming body. Lots of complexity, and surprisingly balanced for a tea with such flavor.
