We bring together tea, incense, flowers, and art to create a space centered around ritual, hospitality, and attentiveness. Our menu features Chinese teas and house made confections designed to offer guests a thoughtful and elevated tea experience within the pace of New York City.

While the atmosphere of the space is calm, the pace of service is fast. We are looking for people who can move with urgency, precision, and initiative while maintaining warmth and composure.

• Work collaboratively with the team to maintain smooth service flow
• Contribute to a warm, polished, and attentive guest experience
