Tea in NYC

So, I'm doing the apartment search thing. In case you don't already know, that process is INSANE in NYC. However, I think I may be in luck. I found a great place that (unlike the places in my current neighborhood and a neighborhood I was very seriously considering) has good tea nearby! Yay! My current neighborhood has (as far as I can tell) nothing but bad coffee (diners), OK coffee (Duncan Doughnuts, which I HEAR is good), almost OK bottled tea (bodegas), and great tea (at my place, not commercially available). The neighborhood I'm considering has readily-available good tea. Oh, and my new roommate used to work as a tea somellier, too. So, yes, there will be excellent tea at our place as well. Exciting! Wish me luck.
