Northeast Tea House: Types of Oolong (Marcy)

Join Simon, the owner of Northeast Tea House, for a deep dive into the diverse world of oolong tea. Oolong is, broadly speaking, any tea that falls on the spectrum between black and green, which leaves open lots of room for interpretation and creativity. As a result, each tea-producing region has developed its own unique style of oolong. We'll taste our way through different regions and styles, learning as we go.

Whether you're new to tea or a tea connoisseur, Northeast Tea House creates a welcoming place to introduce you to the world of East Asian teas and traditions. Space is limited.

Meet at Northeast Tea House located at 224 E Hennepin Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55414.

If class is full, please enroll for the waitlist. We will contact you if a space becomes available or if we schedule additional dates.

Simon Parish

Hi. I'm Simon Parish, the founder of Northeast Tea House. I've never been much of a conformist and after finishing college knew I had to carve out a career that would speak to me personally. Also, I feel a strong desire to contribute to my community and do my part to spread joy and well-being to others. Nurturing my own well-being during my college years in NYC involved daily meditation and working at a Brooklyn tea house, where I supplemented my formal studies of history and world religions with a deep dive into the styles, traditions, chemistry and benefits of tea. Those experiences have led me to Northeast Tea House.

My dream is to establish Northeast Tea House as a get-away from the distractions and anxieties of our modern world, while serving the best matcha and loose leaf teas possible. Designed as a calming, meditative space, NTH revolves around the remarkable ability of tea, when prepared and consumed in manners that are centuries old, to inhibit anxiety and reinforce a powerful sense of calm and mindfulness. In addition, our themes include friendship, conversation, thoughtfulness and a deep appreciation for tea's flavors and East Asian culture.
