New Tea Wares Company

I am a frequenter of the various Tea Shops of NYC. As I got to know store owners, often over a cup of tea, I realized two things. The first is that they have great products. The other is that they don’t have good enough english to sell their wares online. These two facts gave me the idea their middle man. I started a small tea company that connects you with the best teawares to be found in the complex maze of NYC’s Chinatown’s tea shops.
The truth is Im not doing this for money, I have a decently paying full time job. I am doing this for the shops and for the New York tea scene as a whole. What this means for you is that you will be buying the tea ware for a similar price that they are available retail, no giant mark ups.
Right now my selection is small, but with every paycheck I get from job I invest a little more and buy a few more pieces, so bookmark this page and keep checking back.

I am also working on a series of informational tea blog posts, so keep your eyes open for that as well.

That sounds like a really great concept! I’m excited to see what teaware you find! =)

Looks great! I’ll be sure to check back often. Some of your cups already pique my interest, but I do have one, pretty easily addressed, criticism.

For teacups (and most teaware probably), it can help customers a lot if you tell us the volume of the vessel. Doesn’t have to be super fancy or exact, just fill it up with water, dump it in a measuring cup, and see how many mL it holds. Just a thought! :)

Agreed with all the above. You might do well to delete the default blog post also. :)

Are you going to be selling more than cups? Teapots? Gaiwans?

Hey guys thanks for the positive response. I will defiantly see to all of those issues.
I unfortunately lost my job the other day so I will not be able to add more to the inventory this week like I planed, but defiantly in the future you will see more cups, gaiwans, tea, tables and more. I will post again when I have a larger inventory.

Got a new job, should receive a new paycheck in a week or two. That being said I did add two tea tables to the site. I had to eat rice for a few days because of it, but I couldnt miss a chance to snap these two up.
