210 Teas plans to open at 108 East Washington St. late this summer

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — A new tea company, called 210 Teas, expects to be up and running late this summer in a storefront at 108 E. Washington St.

 The business, owned by Kahssia Hills, will lease about 1,700 square feet in the White Memorial Building, in a space that was formerly home to Roji Tea.

Matt Funiciello of JF Real Estate handled the lease transaction.

Hills created 210 Teas to honor “the subtle yet strong essence” of her late grandmother. For Hills, tea is a reminder of her family — a reminder of generational love. 

“Tea provides a soothing sense of comfort that speaks without words, like the omnipresent protection of your ancestors,” she said.

The business sells a variety of teas and related products through its website (https://210teas.com).
