Miansai

A find! An adorable tea bar greets Miansai customers as soon as they walk into this Soho accessories shop.

Menu is on the wall, listing all their teas. It's getting warm, so it was perfect for something iced.

Sitting on the counter are a wall of copper mugs etched with the name of the teas they serve and sell.

And inside each mug is a sample of the tea so you can take a whiff before making your selection. I went with an iced pear and green tea ($4) which takes about 5 minutes to make.

There are two small benches lining the front of the store where you can sit and wait, or you can do a little shopping while the tea is being prepared.

Men and women's handmade accessories are displayed beautifully.

There is a nautical theme running through all their products, like with these anchor bracelets.

And after 4 minutes, my drink was ready. Ahhh, refreshing!
