Our Story

Not just tea.
A ritual you
can taste.

Lafayette Tea Shop was born from a simple conviction: the best cups of tea start long before the water hits the leaves. They start with relationships — with farmers in Darjeeling, artisans in Uji, and small-batch roasters in the Catskills who share our obsession with quality.

Every blend in our case is sourced directly, every pastry is baked in-house each morning, and every cup is steeped to order at the temperature and time that the leaf demands. No bags. No shortcuts. Just honest tea, served with intention.

The Experience

More than a cup.
A moment to yourself.

Direct Trade

We know the names of our farmers. Every batch is traceable to its estate, and we pay well above market rate for the quality we receive.

Steeped to Order

No pre-batched tea sitting on a warmer. Every cup is measured, heated, and timed specifically for the leaf you've chosen.

Baked In-House

Croissants, scones, and seasonal tarts arrive fresh every morning at 7 AM. Pastry and tea are designed to complement each other.

The Space

A quiet corner in the middle of everything.

Natural light, reclaimed wood, and enough room to spread out your book — or your laptop. We built Lafayette to be a place you want to stay.
