I always go to Takashimia when in NYC once or twice a year. We found it looking for places in NYC that sell tea - and now often have lunch there. It is a unique experience and I have told many friends that go to NYC who now also always go in.

A must for Tea Lovers
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/13/07
The bottom floor of the NY store houses the most wonderful selection of tea ware. Bowls of loose tea, beautiful tea sets, cups and mini tatami mats fill the room.
The employees are helpful, eloquent and know what they are talking about. I was recommended a wonderful matchatori sen cha blend for only $12 (around £7!!).

Pure Perfection!

I've been fortunate enough to travel most of the world, and yet the constantly stunning Takashimaya Store remains at, or near the top of my list! To browse, perchance to buy and /or be inspired, this oasis of refinement never fails to amaze every one of my senses.

Expensive but Beautifu'
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/01/04
My husband and I go to Takashimaya every time we visit the city. We look at all of the beautiful clothes and home goods and dream about life with a million dollars. The store is on several floors and laid out in a spartan manner.
The basement tearoom is where it's at, though! Enjoy one of several types of green and other teas with light, delicious food in a serene atmosphere. Goods in this area are more affordable.
