Find out what's brewing in the West Village.

Who needs an espresso in the AM when you could swap your shot for an antioxidant-rich mate? (You still get a dose of energy, but without the jolt-and-crash effects of coffee.)

According to certified tea master Kiley Holliday (pictured), that's just one of the benefits of the herbal teas she blends as co-owner of L'Âge de Thé. Currently, you can find flavors from apple crumble to ginger green at the online store. (Become a fan on Facebook to get a 15% discount.) 

And in the next couple of weeks, Holliday and her partner will open Bosie, a European-style tea parlor in the West Village. At the cozy haunt, you can sip loose-leaf brews from L'Âge de Thé (all selected by Holliday herself) and nosh on sandwiches and sweets. 

Everything is prepared to a tea.
