Matt regularly appears with Jordan Rich on “Connoisseur’s Corner” which airs on WBZ (http://boston.cbslocal.com) weekdays at 11:55 AM.
The following is a “script” for one of Matt’s forthcoming segments:
Boston has always been known for its tea parties and these days, there are more choices than ever. While many crates are still imported from overseas, we are blessed to have one of the more conscientious tea makers right here in our own backyard. And their yard is set to expand even as we speak.
Based in Watertown, right near the Arsenal Project, Mem Tea Imports brings some of the freshest, most sustainable, responsible, and nutrient-rich teas from all over the world and offers it up in an amazingly diverse and delicious menu of brews that you can enjoy at many favorite restaurants around town (including Connoisseur’s Corner faves like Flour Bakery, La Morra, and New City Micorcreamery) or at home. For those who want to make better tea at hoe, Mem offers regular classes that invite home-brewers into their factory to see how they concoct their famous recipes and how you can make your own tea-ations while learning about the history and health benefits of tea.
To reach more tea-curious customers, Mem is currently developing a larger training center and retail space in Somerville’s hip Davis Square. It is set to feature more classes and programs, as well as over 100 of Mem’s most popular loose teas, with a rotating selection of another 50-plus flavors. So whether you area newbie or an aficionado, Mem will have the ingredients and support to make your best spot of tea spot on!
