Our Story

My heart broke when my favorite cafe shut down.

It was a cool & relaxed place where I hung out with my friends, co-workers, and where I went on Hinge dates

At the same time, I was constantly feeling tired, burnt out & crashing daily from my morning coffees & energy drinks living NYC

& that’s when “cha” (or tea) found me.

REAL tea.

NOT the hot paper cup of boiling water & dirt tea bag you find at most places.

But real, loose leaf tea, steeped the right way.

My first cup hit with vibrant, sweet, floral & refreshing light taste.

No jitters, no crash, just FOCUSED energy & balanced.

Tea met me where I was in my life, a place for intentional, focused, clam energy.

while i was still pursuing a better me.

cha & is not another cafe.

we’re a modern tea bar, re-energizing the old into the new, for anytime of the day, everyday.
