WHY “NO.17”?
一
YĪ — ONE
七
QĪ — SEVEN
一起
YĪQǏ — TOGETHER
Seventeen means together.
No.17 Tea began in 2021 with a father who shared his tea with his daughter. 一 is one, 七 is seven — put them together and you get 17, shorthand for 一起: together. The shop grew out of that habit, one cup at a time.
The number keeps turning up: 17% off when you bring a reusable cup, and free cups by the hundred and seventy when a new kiosk opens.
