Teariffic
51 Mott Street
New York, NY
Teariffic is among the little teashops in Chinatown that is just oh-so-popular among the kiddies these days, what with the bubble tea craze that sprung up some years ago. We stopped by for a quick drink as we were about sightseeing with DJKung's cousin.
Cold matcha au lait. I can't really say that you could taste the matcha (green tea). It tasted strongly of jasmine tea, or some other floral-type tea. The little agar (gelatin) cubes were fun to slurp down.
DKung got black tea with milk. It is served without ceremony, which is great when all you want is a nice cuppa.Teariffic has pretty satisfying teas and coffees. They also serve quick bites. The prices are very reasonable too!
As we were headed to a dimsum joint, we were lucky enough to catch a small parade by a Chinese Buddhist group. The dragon smiled at us, so this will certainly bring us lots of luck!
