A new tea house in Chinatown called Steep is trying to make tea sexy.
Samuel Wang sips Dragonwell green tea at his new Chinatown tea shop, Steep, on a recent afternoon as he conducts a Chinese tea ceremony. He warms my tea cup with some hot water, then rinses it in a bowl. He pours more hot water into a beaker full of tea leaves, which he and partner Lydia Lin harvested in early spring in Meijiawu, China. The water flows into the beaker from high above, making the leaves dance and prompting some satisfying ASMR .
It’s a vibe you might expect from a high-end boba shop, but this is not that kind of tea house. There’s a small selection of black, oolong, green and pu-erh teas, all from farmers chosen by Wang and Lin.And to eat while you sip — whether it’s just a cup or a full-on tea ceremony experience — find rice bowls filled with things like radish pickles; braised pork belly and tofu; and cold sesame noodles.
