Tea & Other drinks

In addition to the best coffee shop in Brooklyn and Manhattan, White Noise Coffee is the best tea shop in NYC. Here you find several different choices of quality tea including both hot and cold options that include:

• Matcha and green teas.  Green tea leaves come from the same plant as black tea, but they don’t undergo oxidation, which means they aren’t exposed to the air to dry out. This causes green tea to typically have a lighter flavor than black tea. Matcha is a type of green tea that has an earthy and slightly sweet taste.
• NOK. In 2025, White Noise Coffee became the birthplace of something even bigger: NOK, the first Korean ceremonial-grade matcha brand launched in New York. NOK was developed within the walls of White Noise Coffee but is its own company — a brand built to introduce Korean matcha to the U.S. market with the same uncompromising discipline and craft that defines our coffee.
• Chai and spiced latte. Chai lattes have a comforting creaminess that can be made with dairy or plant-based milk with sweetness adjusted to your preferences. A spiced latte includes the perfect blend of cozy spices.
• Herbal and wellness teas. Herbal teas come in a variety of delicious flavors and are popular for being caffeine-free. Herbal blends that provide specific health benefits such as digestive support, increasing calmness and improved immunity are known as wellness teas.
• Iced teas and infusions. When you feel like having something cold, try a glass of iced tea. Your iced tea can be enhanced with infusions such as fruits, herbs and spices for a unique flavor.
• Hot chocolate and seasonal drinks. A steaming cup of hot chocolate is delicious and comforting any time. We also offer seasonal and limited-edition drinks at different times throughout the year.
• Protein drinks. Protein smoothies and shakes are a quick and easy way to increase your protein intake.

We also serve a wide variety of classic and gourmet coffee choices. We can accommodate special diets or preferences and have several alternatives to milk and dairy products.

Regular consumption of tea near me in NYC has several different health benefits on top of the fact that tea is delicious and a good option for staying hydrated. Examples of some of the health benefits of tea include:

• Antioxidants. Tea provides antioxidants that prevent damage caused by free radicals in the body. Antioxidants block inflammation and offer protection from several chronic diseases.
• Lower risk of heart attack and stroke. Drinking tea reduces several of the risk factors of heart attack and stroke such as high levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides.
• Better focus. Black tea contains a combination of caffeine and an amino acid called L-theanine, which together improves focus and alertness.
• Lower risk of cancer. Tea decreases the risk of some forms of cancer.
• Blood sugar benefits. Green tea improves blood sugar and sensitivity to insulin while black tea with no added sweeteners improves the body’s ability to manage sugar.
• Digestive benefits. Herbal teas such as peppermint and chamomile have a variety of benefits such as improving digestion, soothing stomachaches and minimizing inflammation. Some herbal teas also are known to ease anxiety.

The best tea shop in NYC knows this and ensures that your tea is sustainably sourced and pure. Tea has been the beverage of choice for people all over the world for thousands of years. First discovered in China, it gradually spread to Japan where it led to the development of the tea ceremony and continued to spread around the world. With its various flavors and many health benefits, it’s easy to see why tea is the second most popular beverage in the world, surpassed only by water.
