More infoO5 is a wine bar that swapped the grapes for tea and got more interesting. Pull up two stools on West 4th while whoever's working brews rare single-origin leaves in front of you, earnestly explaining why the second steep of the same leaf tastes nothing like the first. Ask the dumb questions; they love the dumb questions. You will leave knowing far too much about water temperature.
Take two stools at the West 4th tea bar and let a genuinely nerdy server walk you through rare single-origin leaves, ceremonial matcha and a curveball kombucha, brewing each in front of you. Go slow, ask the dumb questions, and let them talk you into the bag you'll be hoarding at home. It's warm, low-octane conversation fuel, give it about 75 minutes before drifting on to the next Kits stop.
