Top 10 Loose Leaf Teas in New York

If there’s one thing that New Yorkers love it’s their tea. With so many tea shops and cafes spread out across this beautiful city, there are so many opportunities for people in New York to embrace their love of tea.

Most people are used to traditional ways of drinking teas (bagged tea), but there are different options available to people who want to explore tea in new and exciting ways. Loose leaf tea, for example, is a way of consuming teas that allows the drinker to get more of the natural taste from the tea leaves.
