Tea Host
Soft Hours
Soft Hours is a Chinese tea house in New York inspired by the refined tea culture of the Song Dynasty.
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.

• Prepare tea drinks accurately and consistently according to shop standards
• Maintain speed and quality during high volume service
