SerendipiTea Retail Partners : The Brunswick Flour Mill

If you've been down Sydney road here in Melbourne you have most likely driven past the Brunswick Flour Mill Cafe.
Our good friends there are part of our drive to raise the standard of tea service, and break the "Tyranny of the Tea Bag"



When you go into the Brunswick Flour Mill or it's sister Cafe Aquarium you will only find the finest quality loose leaf tea & tisanes.
We will post short notices on our Retail Partners that believe as we do that only the best will do, when you see them you'll know that not only do they serve SerendipiTea but they also have Retail Boxes for sale so you can enjoy the best at home.
If you visit any of our Retail Partners let us know.

SerendipiTea Retail Partners : Aquarium

One of our newest partners is a quite special cafe / music shop on High street, Northcote called Aquarium.
You may recognise some faces from "The Brunswick Flour Mill" and it is true Aquarium has the same quality service, decor, smiling faces Artisan baked bread , pastries and of course SerendipiTea both in your cup & in takeaway boxes!

One thing that is a bit different is the open plan design that has incorporated a walk-through to a Rare vinyl /Book/ CD/DVD supplier and take my word for it, there are some very interesting bit to be added to your collection.
So there it is another place to enjoy SerendipiTea and much more.

Stay tuned for more on Aquarium in upcoming posts.

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

Times have changed, for the better.... and we have moved on..

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.
You should know that while we have moved out of our retail location we have definitely not forgotten about our many retail customers...
