Business Member Highlight: Simpson & Vail Inc.
July 6, 2021
Simpson & Vail Inc., one of the oldest Tea companies in the USA, is a family-owned business dedicated to offering quality teas from around the world. We have over 375 teas (organic, black, green, oolong, decaf, flavored, flowering, white, and blends) from China, India, Japan, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Kenya, Nepal, Indonesia, Taiwan, and Colombia.
Our herbal section includes the basics, such as chamomile, peppermint, tulsi, and rooibos, as well as our own specially formulated blends & our complete line of Yoga Herbal tisanes & Herbal Benefits blends. Since our origins also lie in the coffee industry it is only natural that we continue with a fine representation of high-quality Arabica beans from the various coffee regions.
We have light and dark roasts, swiss-water decaf, fair trade, organic, shade-grown, rain-forest alliance, and flavored. We are on a continuous search for new, practical, and attractive tea accessories to complement our teas. Storage jars, teapots, tea mugs, strainers, infusers, and delightful tea cozies are just some of the many accessories you will find. Also offered are delectable cookies, honey, jams, scone mixes, and more. We sell our products on our website and in our store in Brookfield, CT.

Advocacy News: May 2026
The Good News: CT Senator Chris Murphy has introduced a bill (bipartisan and bicameral) to increase funding for Agricultural Management Assistance to $30 million and to expand the eligible uses for these funds to include “soil health improvements, composting, implementing organic farming, and food safety certification in addition to existing authorized uses such as water management structure and soil erosion control.” Let’s thank Senator Murphy for introducing this bill!
The Bad News: The Farm Bill passed the House of Representatives on April 30, despite 320 food, farm, and conservation organizations, including CT NOFA, voicing our opposition to a bill that does not fix SNAP, does not support new and beginning farmers, and does not adequately support conservation programs or organic agriculture. Now it goes to the Senate and we need to urge both of Connecticut’s Senators to reject this Farm Bill.
Our Vision for a Future of Resilient, Plentiful, Healthy and Locally-Grounded Farming and Food
In concluding its annual retreat, the Northeast Organic Farming Association Interstate Council (NOFA IC) reaffirms the values that have grounded our work for 55 years.
Our vision is that every person is able to live their life with healthy food, clean water and air, community, livelihood, dignity, and purpose within the means of our life-giving planet. We seek that vision on every level, from our households and farms to our communities, states, bioregions, nation, and world. For that vision to be fulfilled, every person, no matter their origin or circumstances, must have all their basic human needs met without degrading the air, water, soil, ecosystems, and climate which we have been given and on which we depend for our lives.
