Harney & Sons SoHo,

"Floor to ceiling tea blends - enough to fit your moods and taste. I have my Harney faves, including Jasmine and Hot Cinnamon Spice. Both are usually available in supermarkets. This shop will sell the sachets in larger bags. And tins of loose or bagged blends perfect for sampling or gifting. There is a cafe in the back and a prominent tasting bar where you can request a complimentary steeped tea. Each additional tea sample is $3 after."

"This place is heaven for tea aficionados ! Those who love Harney & Sons brand will be delighted by this spot. There are loose teas, bagged teas, even a counter where you can order drinks to stay. You can sample from a list of teas that will be made fresh for you ; first two are free and after that there is a $3 fee. Staff is patient and welcoming and the wonderful feeling you get from imbibing great tea is well worth the trip."

"Perfect place to find a the tea just for you. The staff is so helpful and knowledgeable. Happy to answer any tea related questions and helpful in finding that one tea you might be looking for. First tasting is free and then any after that I believe you pay. They have a shop in the back to get a nice cup of hot tea. Recommend to anyone visiting the city for the first time or for someone who's looking for a new tea to add to their collection."

"I have been purchasing Harney & Sons teas over a decade. I have finally been able to visit their store in SoHo. It's a nice spot to sit down, relax, and drink some tea. The best part is you can pick any tea available for a cup or a pot. I would prefer to have an option to pick the teas for the tasting - all of the tasting teas are flavored. I would also prefer a BYOP (Bring Your Own Pastry) optional policy I had brought some from Lysée, not with the intention of eating them here, but they were kind enough to allow it after I asked."
