I've been to three relatively new tea joints in downtown New York
recently. The bad news is that two of them were such that I didn't
even bother to sit down and order some tea. One of them is a keeper,
though.

Sanctuary T, at 337B West Broadway at Grand St., is basically a
typical swanky SoHo bar/restaurant/café with a tea around the edges.
They seem to use tea in some of the food recipes, if that appeals to
you, but there are very few unflavored teas on the menu, and nobody
was drinking tea when I happened by on a weekend afternoon.

Gramstand, at 214 Ave. A between 13th and 14th, is a hipsterish place
that serves tea among other things, but not many varieties and, once
again, most are flavored. What really discouraged me was that they
store their teas in lucite containers.
