Both Asian lanterns and Christmas lights adorn this Chinatown–International District gallery, as does one massive grinning Buddha who clearly seems to enjoy his herbal surroundings. New Century serves up more than just jasmine, honeysuckle, and chrysanthemum. Sift through intricately decorated teacups and rustic tea kettles among displays of vintage Pu Er cakes and oolong leaves. Depart with more than bulk floral and leaf combos, and tack on some new tea-drinking knowledge: Ask the shopkeeper about their take on chayi,“the art of drinking tea,” and you’ll be more than prepared to host your next tea-inspired gathering.
