吃茶三千

Matthew was our tea tasting host and explained every step so well it was great! I also ordered a passion fruit green tea and it was amazing. I highly recommend this place. The teas are amazing and I learned so much at the tea tasting.

Chicha San Chen is so much more than a typical milk tea shop. This was my first time actually staying instead of just grabbing a drink and leaving, because I joined their tea tasting experience. It completely changed how I see tea. The tasting wasn’t like a lecture at all. It was interactive and engaging, and I learned a lot about Lishan oolong tea from Taiwan while getting to smell and taste every tea myself! All five cups! The whole experience took about 20 minutes and was absolutely worth it. Best part? It’s completely free☺️ If you think Chicha San Chen is just another boba spot, you’re missing out, so come grab a seat in their tea tasting event!

We walked by surprise. It has clean tea smell inside and everything looks neat and clean. There is a system for ordering. You can either scan the code or taking the line ordering with a real person. Then wait in the rest area and waiting to be called your number. I also received a msg letting me know when the tea is ready. The regular tea is good. We also ordered the bubble volcano and it's too sweet for me.

The bubble tea was amazing. Matthew was very helpful from when we walked in since he helped give us really good recommendations and explained all the different options. We also stayed for the tea tasting and it was very delightful. Matthew did a great job going through and explaining all the details. Would highly recommend!

I love this tea shop! As soon as you walk in, the store is filled with a wonderful tea aroma. You can really tell they put care into the tea-making process. the taste is delicate and perfectly balanced. There’s usually a long line on weekends, so I recommend visiting on weekdays when it’s not as crowded. Definitely one of my favorite tea spots in Chinatown, Manhattan!
