Select by Kung Fu Tea grand-opened its 73 Chrystie Street location on June 26, 2026 alongside a second store in Flushing, and coverage from PR Newswire and Hoodline both note the launch drew crowds with limited-run gift bags containing Levain Bakery treats, a Phlur matcha mist, and a candle for early arrivals (PR Newswire).
