Shops like this remind us of why specialists exist: because some things are best learned through experiencing them, and through stories that simply can’t be found online. The Liu family are stewards of the stories of dozens of family-owned tea farms, which are steeped in heritage and agricultural history. You don’t have to be a teahead to shop here — just show up with an open mind and an opinion on your favorite flavors and scents and you’re sure to discover a newfound appreciation for the world’s most popular drink. 📍Grand Tea and Imports, 298 Grand Street, Manhattan by @grandteaimports
