"We are excited to celebrate the opening of our first overseas tea house MENO, as part of our international expansion plan," said Long Yi, Chief Executive Officer of Urban Tea.

The menu offers Coffee Meets Juice, a one of a kind, curious and delicious mixture of different freshly squeezed juices and coffee; Dark teas, MENO's absolute specialty, are one of the most ancient types of teas from China and are rarely found in New York City. The teas, which can be served hot or cold, have undergone microbial fermentation for up to eight years; Fresh Milk Teas, served hot or cold and made with organic whole milk, come in three varieties including peach-flavored oolong tea, honey-flavored black tea, and Jasmine-flavored green tea; Cheese Foam Fruit Teas are served cold and made with fruit slushies and fine green tea, topped with a frothy layer of milk and cream cheese, and sprinkled with salt for a sweet and savory sip; Coffees are also spotlighted, using premier blends from Counter Culture Coffee with options such as Espressos, Americanos, Lattes, Cappuccinos, Iced Americanos and Iced Lattes.
