Te Review

Amazing cute little tea shop. You'll be treated like royalty and the tea and food are unbeatable

Such an amazing place celebrating the beauty of tea!! Five stars are not sufficient for how great it is!

Just pay a visit here. You'll easily share my passion.

Cute tea shop, only Taiwanese oolong but so many options. Treats were delicious. Friendly staff. Very relaxing.

Came back after 6 months, still as amazing and relaxing as I remembered! I had an alishan, to go with their pineapple linzer was just as delicious as before, must-have. I never knew they served food food, my neighbors had some sort of cheese and jam bread thing, will have to try it if I'm ever in NYC again.

My favorite tea spot in NYC. I never fail to visit here when I come to Manhattan. Their pineapple lindzers are to die for. I bought three boxes to go for my friends to try back home.

absolutely amazing place. extremely intimate vibe with the most premium tea in the city.

My daughter and I booked a tea tasting here during a long weekend getaway to NYC. We learned so much AND had fun. Our tea tasting was customized to our interests and was a great way to spend the morning. We'll definitely be back to enjoy this space when we return to NYC.

This little tea shop is a special place in the West Village. I don't think it would be as nice if it were overrun with people, but as is, it's a peaceful respite. I stopped in for some oolong tea and to try the pineapple linzer which I had read had its roots in the pineapple cakes of Taiwan. The flavor was great, with an unexpected kick. I prefer the softness of pineapple cakes, but the linzer was a nice new take on the traditional cakes. I also tried the coconut muffin which was moist and delicate. There isn't much seating, but the intimacy of the space is part of its charm. Bring a book and spend an afternoon trying different teas.

Great service and even better tea. Such a relaxing atmosphere for a nice conversation for one or two friends, a cute date, or just an afternoon out for yourself.

We have been looking for good oriental teahouses in Manhattan and this is definitely the best one. The tea is OUTSTANDING, everybody is unbelievably kind and the place is simply beautiful. Also, it is not as expensive as some other teahouses. Thank you for everything!

A fantastic place to get an amazing pot of Taiwanese tea and Taiwanese inspired food. The service is friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. The tea menu is filled with information letting you choose a tea based on level of oxidation or roast.
I d suggest the 2025 if you want a light tea with natural sweetness. The Gaba tea is another one that s not always in the spotlight with its unique flavor but it is a very comforting tea. Blossom Dearie is a rich black tea honoring the jazz singer who lived in the neighborhood.
The linzer cookie is a favorite with its jam like pineapple filling sandwiches by flaky cookies.
They can also ship tea and cookies along with tea ware.

This is the kind of hole in the wall that you brag about finding to your foodie coworkers. My friend brought me here for a quiet tea and brunch, and when I got to the address, I wasn't sure if I had the right place. It looked like an apartment building. When you walk into the building, you turn right into a plain door, and then you see it. The setting is homey and unpretentious, save for the dried artichokes on the table, which are admittedly very attractive. We started with the summit tea, which had a strong barley flavor and light caramel scent, accompanied by the pineapple linzer. The couple sitting next to us ordered the linzer as well and proclaimed "I've never enjoyed a cookie this much in my life." While I wouldn't go that far, my friend and I had a great time dissecting the flavors (flakes of dried seaweed!), a game we would continue throughout the meal. We continued with the chilled asparagus, and then the braised pork rice bowl with egg.

Flavors were at once familiar and exotic. The rice bowl brought me back to similar dishes served on the street in Bangkok's Chinatown. The asparagus to cloth napkin restaurants in Shanghai. The couple next to us showed us the New Yorker review they'd torn out of the magazine, which details the chef's background at Per Se. No wonder. The food, like the setting, is unpretentious but winking with intrigue.

I hope to come back soon!

I was born in Nantou county, Taiwan which is famous for tea and pineapple. My parents are professional and really into the tea industry so I think I am knowledgeable enough about how great tea is .

Te Company serves the best tea and the way they brew tea is authentic. It s a perfect place for afternoon tea and snack. There are street food options like sandwiches on the menu and we would like to try it next time.

The pineapple Linzer cookies were amazingly delicious. The cookies were baked crunchy and flavorful; the filling was creamy and greatly balanced between sweetness and sourness.

By far, one of the best places to experience tea in the city. The Oriental Beauty the champagne oolong was delicious. Great service. Cozy, intimate vibe. Highly recommend!

I can't recommend this place enough. The food is absolutely incredible and enhances the experience of this tea house tremendously. The Taiwanese oolongs are wonderful and curated by the owners who happen to also be the nicest people ever. You will not regret coming here.

Kind and knowledgeable owner who is passionate about tea has a wide selection of greens and oolong. The tea by the pot is nicely sized. Pastries and other snacks are delectable

Love this tea parlor. I almost don't want to write a view on it so I can keep this place to myslef.

Oolong tea is very difficult to drink, very expensive, and has no taste. The clerk repeats the tea to the customer. Super is not recommended. Coco's green tea is better than this.
The tea doesn t have any flavor, they refill the the same pot tea to different customers.
Highly not recommended.

If Saveur Magazine didn't promise "NYC's best cookie," we would have walked right past this small tea house in Greenwich Village. Saveur, thank you a million for not letting us pass it!

Te Company is a small, but perfect tea house in the heart of Greenwich Village. It opens at 10:30AM and it's easy to miss as the sign is very small and it looks like it's on the first floor or a brownstone.

The owner is super friendly and invites you to sit at one of the few tables by the window. As you sit, you're offered cold water and a very cool looking menu of their specialty teas. Per the owner's recommendation, we ordered the smoked oolong tea and it was perfect.

Of course we had to order their famous cookies. It's a simple butter cookie with hazelnut flour, a layer of pineapple-rosemary jam and Japanese chili paste, sprinkled with coarse salt and lime zest. It's $3.50 and worth every penny. As a lover of chocolate chip cookies, I was nervous to try it, but it certainly rivals the best chocolate chip cookie I know (Which can be found at Levain Bakery in the Upper West side in case you're curious).

If you want a really, really, really amazingly unique cookie and a "hidden gem" experience, make Le Company a NYC priority!

quiet place, amazing place for dating.
good cuisine and great customer service

cute environment. fancy teas. small space. perfect place to catch up with a friend for a few hours and sample some nice teas from taiwan. expect to spend at least $10 - they'll refill you though

Read about this place online and decided I wanted to check it out. We walked here from our hotel (about 20 min) and it was a little hard to find but once inside it is like a little slice of heaven. Quite, quaint and inviting.

The tea was very calming and suited the environment well which was a nice change of pace for busy/loud Manhattan.

The cookies are amazing!!!!

An excellent tea tasting. I highly recommend. Very intimate and educational.

Incredible oolong tea. Also really enjoyed the snacks I had: figs with yuzu honey.

Gem at west village
Most authentic & organic tea leaves in NYC
Surprisingly tapas
Very friendly owner

I surprised my boyfriend with a tea tasting here. We had to meet the owner pretty early on a Saturday morning, but it was so worth it. She led us through several Taiwanese teas and explained the origin of each. They were paired with several delightful sweets. It was only supposed to be for an hour, but we were all having such a good time, we lasted over two. Such a lovely place. Can t wait to go back!

Cozy place! The tea taste very good as well as the food and dessert! A must-go-and-try spot!

Very expansive selection of teas and surprisingly delicious food.

My favorite tea place in the city. The teas are mostly (maybe all?) sources from Taiwan, and served in picturesque traditional teacups and teapots. You get three steepings per tea, including the tasting set. Definitely try the food, it s excellent, especially the pineapple linzer cookies. They also make great gifts!

Incredible Taiwanese tea and delicate bites in an adorable, stylish nook. Impeccable attention to detail and warm welcome by friendly owners!

Fantastic tea. They also serve food and it compliments the tea very well. The panna cotta was very interesting but very tasty with a aged balsamic vinegar that was tart and sweet at the same time. Also everyone is recommending the pineapple cookies but I thought they were nothing too special.

Huge variety of teas if this is what you are looking for

Best tea shop in the city. And the food is superb. Love working here or stopping by with friends

Great tea selection from Taiwan and awesome menu design.

Shared a flight of teas two vintage and one from 2019 which were all delicious and developed well over the course of three steeps. Paired wonderfully with small plates to enhance the flavors of the teas!

This was such a cute little place! It's really teeny tiny, so if you're coming with a large group to eat in, make sure you come at the right time.
A friend of mine recommended the Blossom Dearie tea with a piece of cheesecake that we all ended up sharing. The tea has a very interesting taste that the cheesecake compliments quite well. The pottery and ware are so tiny and adorable! The waitresses are sweet and welcoming. Overall it was a nice calming experience.

Wonderful Service! The Octopus was DIVINE. Absolutely enjoyed my 1st time here.

Had a wonderful experience and the knowledge the waitress had was enormous. Food and Tea was amazing. Will in its and let all know this is the place to go

If you're reading this review then you're contemplating going here for tea. Stop contemplating and get on the subway already. The selection is top of the line. There is literally nothing in this place that is not delicious. Hesitation in an insult, just go already, and let yourself be purified in the embrace of truly beautiful tea.

We had a lovely brunch here and the service was amazing! It s a great place to catch up with friends.

The CUTEST little tea shop. Perfect place for a shared or solo pot and a great slice of cheesecake.

Even if you're not a tea fanatic, you can't go wrong at this West Village Taiwanese tea hideaway. Knowledgeable friendly service complements the stellar menu of elevated Taiwanese food favorites. Nothing disappoints here.

Their (Lu Rou Fan / braised pork over rice) is the best in NYC - I highly recommend springing for the optional soy-marinated soft boiled egg.

If you only want tea and a sweet treat, a recent crustless cheesecake with wild flower honey was out of this world.

Tiny hidden shop that only has a few tables. Serves a range of Taiwanese teas, and some light bites. Hard to get a seat as the place is so small.

The service is amazing. The place is quiet and relaxing, perfect for a catch up with friends or a date.

Wonderful Oolong teas and an extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff.

The place to go for Taiwanese Oolongs in NYC. Cozy and lovely, attentive service and excellent tea.

Nice tea parlor on the first floor of an apartment building. Very knowledgeable staff about all the ins and outs of Taiwanese tea. The space is very small so it could get crowded at times.

The tea was great, the food excellent and the staff superb. I m so glad my friend told me about it. A gem

This is one of my favorite places, ask for the tour of tea and you won t be disappointed.

Really good, authentic tea selection from Taiwan. Great menu of small homemade dishes.

Tastes like real good Taiwanese tea... well, since I'm from TW. The pineapple cookie was the highlight though. Infused the traditional dessert into a new idea. The hint of chili is the key.

A really wonderful experience. The food is quite good, the teas are served in a better manner than possibly anywhere else in the city, by a warm and intelligent staff.

Super cute tea shop with awesomeeeeee finger-lickin' good pastries!!!

I don't know of another tea place that has such high quality and wide variety of Chinese teas. It's super cute place. Not a lot of seats so you might have to just get stuff to go!

Must try any of their pastries, they're all really really good. You won't go wrong with any of them. A lot of times its seasonal depending on what the chef can get at the local markets.

A tip for those going your first time - you might miss it, there's no obvious signage outside, there's just a little teapot sign. :)

The dessert was great, the tea was below average quality, very disappointed as so many over rated reviews. The tea leaves were very old and wrinkled like re-used several times, needless to say, tasteless, and no fragrance at all.

Fantastic tea shop with high end Taiwanese oolongs and great snacks.

Loved the tea, atmosphere, and great service... definitely going back soon.

A lovely Taiwanese tea shop, you can enjoy the significant Taiwanese food and tea there. They provided over 15 kinds of Taiwanese tea, including oolong, black tea, green tea and pouchong tea. Also good to have the braised pork chop rice bowl and some seasonal cold dish. Absolutely, desserts are really good too. It s worth to spend your afternoon in this adorable tea shop ;)

The pineapple linzer cookies, with their splash of Japanese yuzu kasha paste, are divine!

My son and I did a tasting flight of teas, which really emphasized the amazing varieties of teas offered. If you have time I'd strongly recommend having a second brew (these tea leaves can be brewed three times) so you can compare to the first.

Friendly and well-educated staff. The whole experience was a delight.

Amazing little place, thoughtful and lovely decor. The people here are so knowledgeable about their teas--and boy, is there a variety. Their pineapple cookies are lightly salted and an inspiration.

An interesting concept store that specialised in Taiwanese tea and entrees. It is very small and fits 10 people at most.

Amazing authentic Taiwanese tea here.
Soothing relaxing vibe.

This place is just borderline amazing. I have been visiting this place for over 2 years and it's so so so good to the point that sometimes I don't want others to know bc I wanted to keep it low-key as it is now...Seating is VERY LIMITED.



My favorite teas are Frozen Summit Grand ( ) and Oriental Beauty Grand ( ). I also recommend pairing Frozen Summit with their Pineapple Linzer, since both the tea and the cookies have a nutty note.
Need to shout out to the genius who invented this Pineapple Linzer, mind-blowingly delicious. The cookies have a delightful hazelnut flavor, and the pineapple jam filling is sweet and citrousy, plus a sprinkle of sea salt and yuzu pepper on top. WOW it is creative and everything just blends so perfectly.

Recently they even added some savory Taiwanese tapas to the menu, I have yet to try but will def order the Tea Egg next time I'm in town.

Comfortable tea house in the Village, slightly cramped interior, tasty small bites

I received a tea tasting for 2 as a Christmas present, and wow...it was such a wonderful experience! We had someone sit down with my partner and me and tell us all about the history, production, and subtle differences between the 5 teas we were tasting (all of which were incredible), and it was so cool to learn the backstory and see photos and video of the farms in Taiwan where they were produced. Our "guide" was incredibly knowledgeable and we left with a much deeper appreciation of tea in general, especially Oolong. Oh, and did I mention the snacks? SO GOOD. If you're looking for a unique gift for someone, I can't recommend it enough. Eleven out of five stars :-D

Super friendly staff and I enjoyed my tea in there quiet cafe. Looking forward to trying their food offerings on my next visit.

A bit pricey but a cool atmosphere, great service, and a ton of good tea selection. Worth the price for sure.

This is an adorable little tea house with phenomenal teas and a cozy atmosphere. As much as I enjoyed the Frozen Summit oolong tea, their spicy pineapple linzer cookies really stole the show.

Amazing attention to detail excellent selection of teas, and friendly owners!

Te company is a wonderful tea shop, and the tea tasting they offer is an exemplarary experience. The subdued wooden interior of the shop is tastefully decorated with beautiful menus and tea sets.

As for the tea tasting itself, in a 2 hour experience with 5 quality teas plus snacks, I was transported across the major tea producing regions in the world and learned much about tea. Our tea "sommelier" was warm, amicable, and clearly armed with a wealth of knowledge. She gave an interesting and well prepared talk with visual aids about the tea making process from harvest to cup and the variables that affect the flavor and price. Knowing about each tea's production greatly enhanced the tea drinking experience and the tea's defining characteristics were easily identifiable. The tea plus snacks are worth the tasting's price of admission alone, but I found the education and background information to be the most valuable part. It added much to the experience and will inform how I drink tea in the future. The combination of expert knowledge and quality teas in an intimate setting was a superlative experience. If only all foods and drinks could experienced in this way.

Wonderful tea house with thoughtfully curated tea and food selection! It s an absolute hidden gem, tucked away on the 1st floor of a brown stone in west village. The spot is pretty small and can only accommodate about 15 people. Get here early if you want to secure a seat.

Hidden gem in the west village. The owner is incredibly knowledgable and kind and the tea is absolutely delicious. I've never had oolong like this and now o can't go back! The food is also among the best I've eaten in NYC. Small simple More

Beautiful small tea store and tasting room.. very friendly service too

Fantastic little tea house with a wonderful selection of oolongs. Staff is very knowledgeable and the space is quite cozy. Will definitely be back!

Beautiful little shop with very high quality tea. Can not recommend enough for a tea lover.

Small and cosy tea shop in the West Village. Great service and extensive tea options. Highly recommend it!

Lovely place to stay warm. Wonderful tea selection!

Great and unique place. They have a great selection of Taiwanese tea and the food is very good. Very interesting place

Very enjoyable and educational two hour tea tasting of 5 tea types. It's changed the way we drink tea. The nibbles with the tasting were all complementary and tasty.
