We propose a new pattern of the neutrino mixing matrix which can be parametrized as the product of an arbitrary Hermitian matrix and the well-known tri-bimaximal mixing matrix. In this scenario, nontrivial values of the smallest neutrino mixing angle \theta_13 and the CP-violating phases entirely arise from the non-unitary corrections. We present a complete set of series expansion formulas for neutrino oscillation probabilities both in vacuum and in matter of constant density. We do a numerical analysis to show the non-unitary effects on neutrino oscillations. The possibility of determining small non-unitary perturbations and CP-violating phases is discussed by measuring neutrino oscillation probabilities and constructing "deformed unitarity triangles". Some brief comments on the non-unitary neutrino mixing matrix in the type-II seesaw models are also given.
