2202 Ave X, Brooklyn, New York
Every other Weekend, while the shop is closed, we set aside a couple of hours to brew and share tea with new and old friends, and you're invited :)
It's a casual, friendly tea tasting, where we try 3 different teas (see below). It will be either new arrivals, old favorites, or fresh samples. We will take time to explore their origins, how they were made, and what we're tasting. It's not a class or a lecture – just tea, conversation, and a chance to slow down and enjoy the moment :)
We like to keep it small – there are only 6 seats available, so if you're planning to come, it's a good idea to reserve your spot in advance. The price is nominal, to cover the cost of the teas we are tasting.
So, if you're free on this day and want to try some good teas with good people – join us. We'll be here, kettle on :)
The teas we'll be tasting are Black (Red) Teas from Wuyi:
• "Golden Eyebrows" Jin Jun Mei – Jin Jun Mei is one of the most recent developments in the world of tea. It appeared as late as 2005 with the idea to create a premium, high-end red tea using only the buds. Once released, Jin Jun Mei became so popular that it upturned the entire industry.
• Non-smoky Lapsang Souchong – The core production area of this black tea (Tongmu village of the Wu Yi Mountains) is tiny. It was the birthplace of black tea almost 400 years ago. The signature fragrance of dried longan fruit can be traced only to Lapsang which grows in Tongmu Guan.
• Smoky Lapsang Souchong – Smoky Lapsang Souchong is the forefather of all the black teas, and our Smoky Lapsang is handmade by a very experienced tea master, Mr. Wen. The tea holds the unique scent of smoky pine. This smoky fragrance is very well-balanced, complementing the tea's natural sweetness.
If you can't make it this time but want to stay updated about our future tea tastings, then subscribe to notifications to stay in the know. We hope to see you next time:)
Customer Reviews
It was such an amazing experience. Everything about this tea ceremony was absolutely amazing. I truly enjoyed the entire process – it was calming, beautiful, and deeply engaging. The teaware was incredible – every piece looked like a work of art, and the aroma of the tea was unforgettable. Each tea we tried was delicious, and the host gave a fascinating explanation about every one, which made the experience even more meaningful. The place where the ceremony took place was simply breathtaking. Every detail of the interior felt special and intentional – it was like stepping into another world. The atmosphere, the design, the cups – everything was perfect. I highly recommend this experience to absolutely everyone. It’s truly something extraordinary that stays with you long after it’s over.
It was just mind-blowing experience. Does not matter whether you like tea or not - it is so worth it. The host is amazing, he knows EVERYTHING about the tea and traditions. Be ready for tea experience you won't find anywhere else in NYC
The tea tasting is a perfect way to learn about loose leaf teas and steeping styles, about different tea varieties, or to deepen an existing tea practice. I enjoyed having the opportunity to try new yellow teas, to purchase my favorites, and to talk about tea. Path of Cha is an oasis, and I will definitely come to another tasting :)
