Summer starts to taste like peach again. 🍑
The first white peaches of the season have arrived.
For a few short weeks each year, peaches become part of our summer menu—sweetened by sunlight, softened by time, and paired with tea while the season is still young.
At Débutea, we don‘t make the same drinks all year round. Some flavors belong to a season, and peach is one of them.
Our Peach Collection is now available.
For the season only.

Pink guava, just in.
At its best, it doesn’t need much— just tea, and a light hand. What you get is clean, natural, and true to the fruit.

Some days just need tea and a slow moment.
Happy weekend everyone — and hello daylight saving time.🍐

We hand-select each pear, peel it smooth and pale, slice by slice. Slow simmer. The pear softens. The liquid turns lightly golden.
And the whole shop starts to smell sweet.
One pound of snow pear for one cup.
No shortcuts.

We’ve been stewing snow pear in the shop lately. Low heat, slow bubbles. The windows fog up a little, and the whole space smells sweet.
Gardenia tea + soft pear just make sense together, light and clear.
It’s that in-between season drink — when it’s still a little cold outside, but you know spring is coming. 🍐

Spring begins in a cup of tea,
and the New Year begins in warm, everyday light.
Tea grows in the hills,
fruit ripens on the branch.
We follow the season, not the clock —
brewing what is clear, fresh, and alive.
This year again, Débutea stays with time and harvest — flavor clean, feeling lasting.

Pomelo is at its best in the colder months—
fresh, bright, and naturally sweet.
🍵 Genmaicha, brewed from sencha and gently roasted rice, nutty, toasty, calm on the palate.
Handcrafted and ice-shaken with fresh green pomelo, clear, never sharp.
Sweetness held in balance.
A light bitterness gives way to a soft, lingering finish.

What people say
Debutea on Thompson Street is a delightful haven for tea lovers, offering an exquisite selection of unique flavors and comforting treats. One standout creation is the Organic Ginger Mini Rice Balls, where freshly squeezed organic young ginger juice is expertly kneaded into fragrant Thai glutinous rice flour. These soft and chewy mini rice balls are simmered in cane sugar syrup, delivering a gentle warmth that wraps you in comfort with every bite.
The tea offerings at Debutea are equally impressive, particularly the THÉ OSMANTHUS. This remarkable brew features Sun Moon Lake Ruby Red tea, known as the “Fragrance of Taiwan.” Harvested in summer 2024, this fully fermented tea boasts a captivating aroma with hints of mint, wood, and sweet fruit. The amber-hued tea liquor presents a refreshing and smooth taste that cools the palate beautifully.
As autumn unfolds, Debutea embraces the enchanting fragrance of Osmanthus—a scent reminiscent of homecoming that adds a special touch to their seasonal offerings. The clean and crisp aroma not only refreshes but also enhances the overall experience within this bustling New York locale.
With its original creations and thoughtfully curated teas, Debutea invites guests to savor moments of tranquility amidst the vibrant energy of the city.
