The Jade Turtle is a MUST go-to spot in Buffalo. Calm music, delicious teas, and a friendly owner, Jon. If you want to relax with friends for a few hours, this is the place to go. This spot is cozy, small, warm and beautiful. One of my favorites and such a safe space.

Utterly unique and welcoming all at once. There’s no better spot to try tea made gong fu style and see it brewed with skill. It’s hard to come in here and not resonate when you’re six steeps deep into a sheng pu’er with Jon and anyone else who will appreciate tea slow.
Jon curates a wonderful variety of mountain teas from a direct source in China. I spend all kinds of time here drinking them. The best seats are right up front at the bar, but you can sit with your friends at tables in the back too.

What an absolutely wonderful place, definitely a new favorite spot! From the moment we walked in the door, it was just clearly such a welcoming space. The lovely owner, John, immediately greeted us and got us settled at the bar. Definitely the place to be if you want to soak up all the tea knowledge and just have a really nice time chatting with John and other patrons. It was a really communal atmosphere with everyone engaged in conversation and connection with others. I can’t wait to come back and introduce more people to this great spot!

Go here NOW. It’s the most authentic Chinese Gong Fu tea experience you’ll ever have. John is so personable and makes sure you’re taken care of.
For $8 per tea with multiple steeps, you just can’t go wrong here. Aged white tea, ripe Pu’er, aged Pu’er. So. Good.

Buffalo needs more of this! Truly such an uplifting experience and calming environment.
We planned to just stop in for tea but ended up staying much longer, indulging in conversation and great vibes☺️ The owner is fantastic and the tea is phenomenal. Would & will recommend this place to *everyone*

We went with some friends and had an absolutely amazing time. The owner is super friendly and knowledgeable about all things tea. He was excited to tell us about the process and sourcing they use, and we got to learn a bunch. We also got to meet some regulars who invited us into their conversation. We also got some bags of tea for home. We’ll definitely be back!

What a cozy little intimate tea house in the heart of Elmwood Village, run by the multitalented Jon! You can find him behind the bar and tending to guests, informing us all of the tasty teas we sip over stimulating conversations. Jon has a wealth of knowledge about the teas he serves and the relationships he has with the families that harvest them.

Super neat place!! The shop itself is cozy and has great music. The owner, Jon, is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about his teas. He took the time to explain the origins and unique qualities of each variety, which made the tasting even more enriching.
