Yep, it’s tea time, alright: The first U.S. outpost of a 150-year-old tea company checks into the Metropolitan Hotel. Tafu specializes in teas that promote health and wellness, including a rare, high-end powdered green tea called maccha, which is often used in tea ceremonies. Tafu also has an ace up its sleeve: The tea shop is collaborating with local dessert fave Kyotofu to produce an exclusive line of original sweet treats that incorporate Tafu teas, with items like cream-roll cakes, shortbread cookies and chocolate truffles.
