ENCOUNTERS: Food & Tea Pairing

We’re super excited to announce our newest pop up collaboration – ENCOUNTERS: Modern Asian Fusion and Tea Pairing Experience with Karppi Kitchen, which will be two creative chef’s – Patrick and Rod’s – playground for creating Vietnamese bar food inspired seasonal menus. Save your dates on Oct 28 & 29th, 17 -21:30!

Without serendipitous chance Encounters, Nari Tea wouldn’t exist – from the border collie barking at me while wandering in the streets of Taiwan that led to a long friendship with Farmer Yang/Chen, to the lovely people in Helsinki who’ve helped us find a home here. Part of the inspiration behind our physical space was to bring the beauty of the shared tea table – that is so common in Asia – to Finland. And over the past 5 months since we opened this year May, we can already see that beauty coming to life.

The meeting between Patrick and Rod shared a similar philosophy, so did the meeting between Karppi Kitchen and Nari Tea. We want to celebrate these encounters and connections through making our own – by pairing our Single-Origin Specialty Teas and Pet-Nat Kombuchas with their innovative Pan-Asian fusion dishes!!!

In the sharing spirit of tea, we will offer 5 course food and 5 drink pairings for 55e in an intimate 6 person seating at our tea table.
