Leave it to Ito En, the largest supplier of green tea in the world, to open the most beautiful tea shop in town. Stop by the company’s New York flagship store, and you’ll understand why the Japanese take their tea so seriously. Try more than 125 mouthwatering types of loose tea and herbal infusions or matcha, which is sold by the can. Gift sets are also available. Check out the flowering teas, which open when brewed, adding a mild floral flavor as well as a beautiful visual effect. Each day, you can sample different offerings from the hand-carved cherry-wood tasting bar.
