“No one can call it trendy”, but you “can’t do better” for
“all things good to brew” than this “old-time” (circa 1895)
West Village purveyor of “fine coffees and teas”, where
the “superb” assortment of “exotic” blends is so wide-ranging
it’s “hard to pick just one”; count on “courteous” “guidence“
from in-house “experts” in a milieu so “atmospheric” that
“just a whiff is enough for a ”caffeine fix.”

Last week I had a tiny bit of a hangover after meeting
friends for drinks the night before. The solution?
I fried up two eggs, sunnyside up, toasted some bread
and squished it all together into an oily, decadent
sandwich. And because I was craving something greasy
and yolky, it was seriously one of the best bites
I can remember having in recent memory: it totally
and completely hit the spot.
What does that have to do with tea? Well a week before
last, both Craig and I were sick with nasty, ugly
colds. And with our sore throats, we didn't want coffee,
we wanted tea. I reached into my cabinet and pulled
out a gift that my friend Matthew Horovitz gave me
for my birthday: tea from Mcnulty's Tea & Coffee
Co. in the West Village.
He actually bought me several different kinds, but
because this was late at night, we didn't want anything
with caffeine, so we reached for the herbal option--a
tea called Blue Eyes.
And, folks, much like that egg sandwich the morning
of my hangover, this tea truly hit the spot. First
of all, I've never seen a tea so beautiful--look at
all the colors:

Second of all, the smell. This had a floral and
fruity smell unlike any tea I've ever brewed; according
to the website, it contains: Hibiscus, rosehips, cornflowers
and rhubarb cream. How often do you find those ingredients
in your tea?
This tea sustained us through our illness and though
the tea, now, is all gone, we're both much better.
Is that a coincidence? Or did the tea cure us? Either
way, it's almost worth getting sick just to have some
McNulty's Blue Eyes tea: I plan to stock up next time
I'm in the Village for our next bad cold. I'm almost
looking forward to it!

“Enter McNulty’s, and you face a sea of glass jars in a
tiny old tin-plate-roofed space, each filled with something
delicious-sounding and -looking, from yerba mate to peach
to flowery orange pekoe to chamomile. Do be aware, however,
that no matter how long you brew their tea at home, scones
and cupcakes will not magically appear at its side.”

“Located in the heart of New York’s Greenwich Village, the
aura of a century long gone is timelessly preserved. Immediately
upon entering the shop, one’s senses are delighted by the
many aromas of coffees and teas from around the world. Sacks
of coffee and chests of tea with obscure markings from far
away lands are visible everywhere. Even the bins, chests
and scales with which these products are stored and handled,
date back to the previous century. McNulty’s even still
has a hand coffee mill, used to blend coffee the old-fashioned
way.”

"The sign “McNultys Rare Teas and Choice Coffees since
1895” beckons me back to a scent sanctuary I enjoyed 20
years ago when I lived in New York’s Greenwich Village.
I walk into 109 Christopher and am embraced by the same
welcoming smells I remember."

“With its eye-opening aroma, tin ceilings and giant sacks
full of coffee beans stacked in the corner, McNulty's has
a truly old-fashioned feel. Huge jars of exotic and rare
teas - more than 100 types - fill the store, alongside a
long list of about 75 coffees from around the world.”
