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 Wuyi Oolongs (Cliff Teas):
• "Big Red Robe" Oolong – Da Hong Pao ("Big Red Robe") is the most famous tea from the Wuyi Mountains. When US President Richard Nixon visited China in 1972, Chairman Mao gifted him 200 grams of Da Hong Pao from the mother trees. DHP possesses the highly sought-after "Rock Rhyme" (Yan Yun – 岩韵). The soil's rich mineral content emerges in the intensely orange, clear, and bright tea soup
• "Fruity Cinnamon" Rou Gui Oolong – a unique blend of mellow spiciness and rich floral-fruity fragrance. Upon brewing, the initial sweetness on the palate smoothly transitions into a nuanced play of mineral and subtle wooden accents, culminating in a refreshingly sweet finish. The light, floral, and fruity aromas offer a lingering fragrance that dances on the tongue long after the cup is empty.
• "Stone Milk" Oolong – "Stone Milk" Oolong is a rare gem. The name hints at the essence of the rocks and stones in Wuyi Mountain reflected in this tea. Nourished by the streams and rocky soil, growing in Wuyi Mountain's unique environment and climate, our Stone Milk Oolong tea is a fine example of Rock tea with an excellent mineral taste with a fruity accent.

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 :)
