What brought me in are my interest in herbs and the antioxidants available! The website is easy to navigate and allows access to the current sales and mini menus instantly! Deep purple came to my purchasing due to its ingredients! I also before I left picked up St. John’s wort, Reishi Mushroom and lions Mane 😊
Absolutely banging tea shop. Quick service by nice folk with a dizzying array of mixtures. Ask the server for their favorite choice – they recommended Bourbon Street Vanilla Rooibus ($4.75) which was smoky and sweet and perfect. A small seating area best suited for parties of 1-2 people. Worth a visit.
While in New York City, we took a trek to this hallowed rock & roll ground. I love the name of this nice tea shop, as it plays homage to the mighty Led Zeppelin’s album, Physical Graffiti- Physical GraffiTea. We spoke with the owner and she is friendly & a wealth of knowledge when it comes to tea… She is a true Tea-ologist. They have every tea one can imagine and then some. We ended up buying several kinds including a Blueberry Rooibus tea, Devil’s Pu-erh, Pumpkin Chai, and Cucumber Melon Green.
