About Sanctuary T

Sanctuary T is a unique New York City based purveyor of fine whole and loose leaf teas.  We’re focused on bringing fresh, high quality teas in fun and unique flavors to beginners and connoisseurs alike. We showcase our teas as an ingredient in the food, as a mix for cocktails and, of course, in the traditional cup at our beautiful location in Soho. Our approach to tea is unique in that you don’t have to be an expert or even a tea drinker at all to appreciate our tea.  We show customers that it doesn’t have to be an “acquired taste” or consumed only “because it’s healthy”.  When customers have our tea, they enjoy tea for tea’s sake. Since we opened in 2007, our simple approach has garnered local and national media attention and has been featured in Martha Stewart Living, Food & Wine Magazine, Cosmopolitan Magazine Hong Kong, Time Out New York, New York Times, and much more.  In March 2008, Zagat Buzz wrote an article about us entitled, “The Freshest Tea You’ll Ever Taste”.  And in June 2008 we were voted “Retailer of the Month” by Tea & Coffee Trade Publication.  In September 2008, our unique line of tea seasonings was introduced at Whole Foods Market Tribeca and announced in The New York Times.  Read their story
