SerendipiTea Retail Partners : Hopetoun Tea Rooms

Every week I get calls from tea lovers asking where they can buy SerendipiTea retail.
My reply to their inquiries is always that SerendipiTea has cultivated partnerships with many retailers that proudly serve our fine Teas & Tisanes and offer them for sale for their customers to enjoy at home and this is true but I thought that in the next few posts I would focus on a few of them so that you could get to know them a bit better.

Lets start with our good friends at The Hopetoun Tearooms
Just about everyone in Melbourne has heard of the Hopetoun Tearooms in the Block Arcade off Collins street.
This Melbourne staple has been serving delicious cakes, sandwiches and of course tea for over a century!
All the delights you would have found in a turn of the century tea house are still there.
Hopetoun have been proudly serving SerendipiTea exclusively for a little over two years and due to demand, they are also selling a variety of our blends in retail boxes for your enjoyment at home.
If you are in the CBD you really owe it to yourself to stop in at The Hopetoun Tea Rooms and tell them you heard about it here.

SerendipiTea Retail Partners : Chocolattea



Chocolattea in Strathmore is a tasty oasis, the first thing you'll notice is the design & decor it is a fantastic looking place without being cold or sterile it is warm & welcoming of families and neighborhood regulars.
Part cafe, part chocolateria and much more you can also find tea & coffee accessories.
For such a small footprint Chocolattea has much more that it's share of chocolate, too many to list here, gourmet coffee and of course SerendipiTea

If you have walked along Greville street, Prahran lately you would have discovered that our shop "Express Life" has closed, however this is not cause for sadness because even though that location on Greville street has served us well for over two years it is your very positive response to SerendipiTea has made it necessary for us to move on to a larger location and shift our focus to servicing our ever expanding list of wholesale clients.
