A Tea Lover’s Guide to New York

0 412

I’ve been drinking tea in New York since I was a little girl. When my grandparents first immigrated to New York City in the late ’80s from Kyiv, Ukraine, they brought all of their tea sets with them. Dozens of tiny cups with accompanying pots and sugar holders, all living within a glass vitrine alongside family portraits in their Brooklyn apartment. A set of pink ones, in particular—permanently tea-stained—came out every time I visited, alongside my grandmother’s freshly baked napoleon, strudel, or apple tart. When my sister and I were really small, my grandmother poured us tea into the saucers of those pink sets so it wasn’t too hot, and we drank it like tiny cats.

Later, my relationship with tea would deepen. First, when I undertook a doctorate program in naturopathic medicine, where I focused on herbal medicine and began using that very same teaware to brew things like pine needles, whole roses, and licorice root. Then, a few years ago, I started a New York-based tea company, Masha Tea, with the intention of sourcing organically grown teas. I wanted to create a sense that it’s not only cozy but also fun and a little sexy to drink tea—the kind of thing you would want to invite somebody in for after a night out. Since launching, Masha has been served at some of my favorite museums, hotels, and cafes across the country, and I’ve gotten to know some incredible farmers, shop owners, and tea lovers through this endeavor.
