Beyond a hidden storefront in Greenpoint Brooklyn, a world of luxury tea awaits. Unfinished wood floors, and bold eggplant colored walls are offset by bright yellow tea canisters brimming with specialty teas. Bellocq Tea Atelier is an award- winning purveyor of hand-crafted organic tea blends. Three friends (Heidi Johannsen Stewart, Michael Shannon and Scott Stewart) decided to combine their creative talents and appreciation for their love of fine tea and opened this beautiful tasting room and tea salon. Here the selections are always changing and come with beguiling names such as “The White Wolf”, “Queens Guard” and “Fireside Chai”.
Various products that compliment the teas are for sale in the store: glass teapots, tea strainers, ceramics, candles, making it a trove of unexpected gifts – this spot is just my cup of tea.
