Yesterday I visited the TSalon in Chelsea Market for the first time, and it was such a relaxing experience. Walking into the store, you’re greeted by a combination of warm hues and walls lined with canisters of tea, punctuated by a few artful displays: a glass teapot, candles for meditation and books about the art of drinking tea.  At a counter in the back, the friendly staff will brew you a cup of any tea you select from the store’s vast collection. I chose White Chelsea Chai – milder than a typical chai tea, with a buttery aroma. It was delicious, and as I sat in the store’s sunny lounge area with two girlfriends, I was transported. We sat for almost an hour, with TSalon’s owner, Miriam Novale, offering hot water refills and making sure we had everything we needed. We did.
