I decided to compile a list of tea shops in NYC since my prior list on teachat was somehow deleted. Feel free to add to list or leave reviews of shops.

Flushing, Queens:

Fang gourmet tea
This prob the most well known shop in nyc. Good quality loose teas including some raw puerh, 80’s-modern yixing and widest selection of essential teaware. www.fangtea.com

Xiang Tea is located at 37-12 main st. Its tucked away in the back of mall on left side. Big selection of tea and yixing. Prices of stuff seemed a bit high on some things. Some of the vintage yixing didn’t look authentic.

There is also another new shop that opened up in same mall as Xiang tea that has a lot of interesting vintage teas and yixing.

Red Teas? Pretty sure that was the name. Located at 37-2 main st. Giant Windsor school sign above the entrance. Really narrow shop in the back. Authentic looking 2009-12 Dayi cakes, oolong and various teaware.

Brooklyn:

Puerh Brooklyn in Williamsburg. They carry a number of puerh from yunnan sourcing and tea-ware from well known European pottters. They often host events. www.puerhbrooklyn.com

Orchid tea house in Bensonhurst: Kingston has a massive selection of antique and vintage tea ware including lots of older yixing. Well curated selection of teas. www.orchidteahouse.com

Manhattan:

LC Tea Trading Inc @ 123 Elizabeth st.
They have a huge selection of yancha as well as some puerh and black tea. No yixing.

New kam man @ 200 canal st.
Supermarket with large selection of cheap box/can teas. Only shop in NYC that sells both red+yellow Seadyke cans.

Tshop @ 247 Elizabeth st.
A small curated selection of teas including puerh, yancha and TW oolong.

Tea drunk @ 123 E 7th st.
Small narrow spot with modern chic vibe. Their tie lo han is pretty decent but overall their prices are high. www.tea-drunk.com

Nice working list.
I would say Te Company is a Taiwan tea shop with really good food too. Elena is from Taiwan, sourcing her excellent selections there, and her husband Frederico is a Portuguese chef. https://www.te-nyc.com/

Ippodo NYC -Japanese teas. http://www.ippodo-tea.co.jp/en/shop/ny.html

Interesting vintage yixing? How are their prices?

New Kam Man have many many cheap goodies and SD classics (such as the TGY) on the basement floor.

It looked like they had a few 70’s shui ping. I didn’t see any prices listed.

McNulty's Tea & Coffee has been around since 1895: https://mcnultys.com/

Their shipping rates seem to discourage non-New Yorkers. :lol:

There is also M. Rohrs' (a year younger than McNulty's), but I don't know if they still have a brick-and-mortar store. They used to be at 303 E. 85th St., but don't seem to be there anymore: http://www.rohrs.com/

In Brooklyn there is Two for the Pot. They are more of a tea corner-shop it looks like, so they only have a Twitter: https://twitter.com/2forthepot :)
