Join Simon, the owner of Northeast Tea House, for a comparative tasting and exploration of Chinese and Japanese green teas. Both countries feature very distinct expressions of green tea that stem from different philosophies, terroirs, and processing styles.

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.
