Casarão do Chá of Mogi das Cruzes was built as a tea factory, designed and built in 1942 by Japanese architect and carpenter Kazuo Hanaoka. For nearly three decades, this building housed a production line of black tea for export, employing Japanese immigrants. With the difficulties of the tea export market in Brazil, the factory ended its activities and became a warehouse, and over the years it naturally wore out. It is now a cultural center, space for exhibitions, festivals, plays, and events. The building is surrounded by tea trees.

The Leon Feffer Park was open in August 2004 by the city of Mogi das Cruzes in the district of Braz Cubas. Having ​​approximately 26 hectars, it enables a greater integration of the community with nature. Inserted in the Tietê River Back Environmental Protection Area, 6,000 seedlings were planted in the park.
