Kam Hing Tea in Chinatown New York trying Bangkok Tea

                                                    Tea stop number 1 of 7 today in NYC.... 

               Wonder what is happening and why I am trying so many teas in NYC?  See below.

                              

I led a bus trip of 56 people to NYC this fall.  This is my second leading of this bus trip.  It is so much fun!

We leave my town in Ohio, at 10pm on a Friday night, drive all night.

Get dropped off in Chinatown around 6:30am.  Everyone gets to do their own thing around New York until around 9pm.

We are picked up at 9pm at Bryant Park, drive all night and get dropped off in my town at 6am Sunday morning.  All this for $185.00

I love the charter bus, red eye trip.  I am leading one this March to DC for the Cherry Blossom Festival.  This trip is only $165 per person.

Below is my tea map....I plan on stopping at least 9 tea shops in the 15 hours in NYC ( I did only make it to 7 cafes).

         

8 hours of riding in a bus from Ohio to NYC and we arrived for the beautiful sunrise!!

              

We were dropped off in Chinatown and I was off to track down some tea!

             Don't let the outside fool you or scare you away.  
Find your way to 118 Baxter Street. 
This bakery is known for their sponge cakes.  And since I knew I was headed to breakfast next I did not grab one.  I should have grabbed one to go though....next time!

                        

There is nothing like the sights, sounds, and smells of the city.   It's not even 7am and people are bustling around, sirens in the background, and sweet aromas of bread as you pass bakeries.

I had never heard of a Bangkok Tea, so that was my choice, hands down.  I have been Bangkok and I don't ever remember seeing this kind of tea.   I am not sure if Kam Hing created this drink or not, but I will definitely be working on making it too.

      

 

When I asked the lady about the tea, she said it was Thai tea with lemonade instead of milk.  I loved it!  The uniqueness of this drink is not like anything I have ever had.  It has that Thai tea flavor that is like nothing else and then with the sweetness of the lemonade it is just great.

     

       

 

 

 

This tea was my favorite of the day for sure.  It was fun and unique.  Yet, it had the typical Thai flavors that I really enjoy. 
The lady who helped me was super friendly and helpful.  I enjoyed my short time in their cafe.  I would definitely come back here again and try more of their teas.

 

 

                                       I do have to say I am always amazed when I come to a Chinatown in any city.  I love how the cultures blend together.  I could spend hours walking around and looking in shops.  They have their own community right inside this massive city.
