Teahouse Review: Franchia

Franchia, a triplex Korean “tea shrine” near the Empire State Building, offers mountain-temple serenity, vegetarian cuisine, and 15 premium teas in poetic, palatial surroundings. Organic Mount Jilee greens, Oolongs, flavored teas, workshops, Royal Tea trays, and balcony ceremonies create harmony-minded indulgence, though tight seating and acoustics sometimes disturb the cultivated calm.
