I think you pronounce the story as &#8220;Tea NY&#8221; opposed to &#8220;teeny&#8221; but it wasn&#8217;t quite clear to me. As I sat and had my tea and scone I noticed that the majority of people appeared to be tourists with their lonely planet guides in tow, or a few local fashionably dressed New Yorkers. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thekua.com\/rant\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/01\/SconeAndTeaBig.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image811\" src=\"http:\/\/thekua.com\/rant\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/01\/SconeAndTea.jpg\" alt=\"Tea and Scone\" style=\"float:left\"\/><\/a>The tea menu is overwhelming and although the prices are over inflated for New York some of the teas are definitely unique blends that are worth the try. The pot of tea is also excessively large and easily serves two people. I ordered the Earl Grey Creme, a scented black tea infused with vanilla flavours and as I just found out on their site, apparently one of their best sellers. I found it nice and light without any need for sugar what so ever. I also ordered a scone with clotted cream and jam that I thought was okay for the United States. Like most things on the continent I could taste the large amount of sugar or sweetener they&#8217;d added so each bite didn&#8217;t really need much jam other than for a different flavour. I think it would have went well with a tea that tasted slightly more bitter.<\/p>\n<p>The atmosphere was bustling without being too crowded and if New York has good weather, I suggest sitting outside in the canvas-covered area where you can absorb the maximum amount of sun and warmth. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Details: <\/strong>Teany Cafe<br \/>\n<strong>Found on: <\/strong>90 Rivington Street, New York, NY 10002<br \/>\n<strong>Contactable on: <\/strong>+1 (212) 475-9190<br \/>\n<strong>Highlights: <\/strong>Huge selection of teas, vegan selection of food and a nice relaxed atmosphere.<br \/>\n<strong>Room for improvement: <\/strong>Slightly overpriced in all aspects but understandable considering the name behind it<br \/>\n<strong>The Kua Rating: <\/strong>6.5 out of 10<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teany is owned by Moby and is one of the many tea rooms that surprisingly exist in New York.
