Welcome back to The Good Tea Podcast!

In this episode, we sit down with Sam Friedman of Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve to talk about the journey of his mother’s soap company — from humble beginnings to becoming a beloved business in Cleveland. We dive into how that path led to City Goods, a modern local shopping experience located in Cleveland’s Ohio City neighborhood, built to showcase local makers and small businesses.

Sam shares exciting details about his newest venture, NightJar, a jazz bar opening on Cleveland’s east side February 13th, 2026. NightJar is a late-night space intentionally designed for community, artists, and live music, adding a new creative hub to Cleveland’s cultural scene.
