Shanghai​-Based TEAPULSE Opens Flaghsip Cafe In Manhattan

NEW YORK CITY — A renowned Shanghai-based tea shop is increasing its presence in New York City, with four new locations opening this month.

TEAPULSE recently opened a new flagship store in Koreatown as well as new outposts on Canal Street in Chinatown, Madison Square Park, and Central Park.

The four new locations join existing cafés in Flushing, Bayside, Doyers Street in Chinatown and Fresh Meadows, Queens.

TEAPULSE combines traditional tea-making techniques with modern brewing methods and is the U.S. brand extension of the 19-year-old Jidong, which boasts more than 2,000 locations worldwide.

"The brand has rapidly expanded across Asia and is now introducing American audiences to its premium teas and pastries," TEAPULSE told Patch.

TEAPULSE's menu features Classic Milk Tea, Silky Milk Tea (a lighter, smoother milk tea), Fruit Teas, and Cheese Teas, as well as Lemonade-Infused Teas.

New innovations will rotate monthly, TEAPULSE told Patch. The brand’s signature premium tea-infused lemonades combine bold flavor with antioxidants and nutritional benefits, delivering a refreshing experience.

Signature flavors including Orchid Blanc, Jasmine, Osmanthus and Amber Ceylon.

Complementing the beverage menu is a light bakery program centered on pastel de nata — a Portuguese-style egg tart inspired by Macau’s unique cultural heritage — characterized by its flaky pastry and rich, creamy egg custard filling.
