Tea Drunk

Located in the East Village in 7^th street and avenue A, Tea Drunk teahouse seeks authenticity. In that tiny teahouse there are only three tables, a bar with four sits, two waiters and seven customers.

As I entered the teahouse, I went to sit at the bar, as I usually do.

The owner proposes an important selection of Chinese tea that impressed me. 

They have a great selection of Oolong tea and pu-erh tea. I took a pu-erh tea called You Le, which is very light. 

The waiter explained me that the owner has imported the tea from China where she traveled for a couple of months. She explained that she wanted to select the tea by herself. To bring back the right tea, she worked with the Chinese people in the tea field and participated in each step. Her goal is to offer real Chinese tea experience to its customers.

I met a few customers to whom I talked. One of them discovered a long time ago Oolong tea. He used to drink only this tea. When he found that teahouse, he asked for some Oolong tea but the employee replied “which one?” He would have never imagined that there were different types of Oolong tea. For him oolong was oolong as a chair was a chair. There were more tea than he imagined. He tried all the tea and since then, he is a regular customer in the teahouse.

This teahouse also offers tea-tasting every Tuesday nights.

This is a place for real tea lovers who are seeking tea experience and who are willing to meet other tea lovers and talk about their personal experience. Something to try!
