T Salon in Chelsea Market

During my first visit to Chelsea Market in the Chelsea district of NYC, I came across the T Salon, an inviting space (see for yourself in the above photograph). I walked through the store looking at the teas and tea wares. While I was not impressed with the wares,

I was taken with the fact the T Salon is "the first environmentally sustainable tea bar - cafe - market in the world." What makes it so? Biodegradable packaging, corn-plastic cups and to-go containers, and organic teas and foods. I must return to drink the tea!
