I’ve visited the atelier in Greenpoint and regularly drink their breakfast blend (in fact, had some just this morning!).

are you looking for feedback on their service? location? teas? Maybe a little more clarification on what you’re after :) I means i’ve had some of their teas but that’s about as much as i can give you.

Sorry, you’re right…..more info would have been helpful! I am specifically interested in feedback on their teas. I’m looking for a higher end, quality tea shop to buy from. Would they qualify? How do their teas rate? Thanks!

I’d take a look at some of the reviews on the site to give you a better sense of what their teas are like. To echo nicole below, i quite enjoy a number of their teas, though they are on the pricier side.

The teas are good but a little bit pricy. Buying them without the tin helps a lot. White Wolf is one of my favorites.

I’ve been curious about them myself. Their website is shiny!

There’s not a lot written about their teas on this site so I was trying to get an “overall” feel for their quality and knowledge. They claim they have a small number of teas because they only bring in the best and I’m wondering if that’s true.

There’s not much on Samovar teas here either. Wondering about them too!

Their teas and website look nice, but I think they are pretty over-priced. Here’s a comparison of one of their teas.

I haven’t tried them, so I can’t speak to the quality of the teas the carry. But there are so many companies with well-priced good quality teas I don’t think I’d consider them in the future.

aye…the few that i’ve had, i quite liked – there’s one in particular i want to repurchase but it would be more of a splurge/present to myself than something i’d consistently stock..if that makes sense
