Ippodo in NYC is a tea temple

If Japanese green tea is your thing, this is your place. It’s not for tea rookies. Don’t expect a table where you can pop open your laptop to scan your social media while sipping a latte, this is not That Place. However, this is where you can explore the fine teas this Japanese tea company offers, guided by a knowledgeable staff like none other. It’s very small and a little hard to find (look down below street level)…but it’s worth the journey. (http://www.ippodo-tea.co.jp/en/shop/ny.html).”
