There is an old idea that home is not really a building, it is a feeling. For 28 years, that feeling lived inside a small tea room in West Palm Beach, in the particular way light came through the front window in the late afternoon, in the sound of the kettle, in the familiar faces who walked in without needing to order because we already knew what they wanted. Now that our doors are closing, we have been thinking a lot about what home actually means, and how we plan to find it again.
Until we find that next space, our online shop is where home lives for now. Every time someone decides to shop our loose leaf tea online, they are choosing to keep this feeling alive, even without four walls to hold it in. We are endlessly grateful for that, and it reminds us daily that Serenity was always about the people first and the building second.
If your version of home includes a bold pot of black tea in the morning, we have not gone anywhere. Our vanilla black tea loose leaf, earl grey black tea, and chai black tea blends are still exactly what they always were. Shop our black tea collection and let that familiar comfort be part of your search for home too, wherever that happens to be for you right now.
For those of you whose evenings depended on a caffeine free herbal tea, that ritual is still here waiting for you. Our herbal tea loose leaf blends, including a soothing peppermint herbal tea, were built for exactly this kind of quiet moment. Browse our herbal tea loose leaf collection the next time you need a reminder that home can be as simple as a warm mug and a few unhurried minutes.
Some of you found your sense of home in a slower, more deliberate cup, the kind our oolong blends were made for. Whether your reason was the best oolong for weight loss or just the smooth, balanced flavor, visit our oolong tea collection and let it be part of the ritual while we search for our own new place to belong.
And for our regulars who always reached for something naturally sweet and caffeine free at the end of the day, our rooibos tea and honeybush tea blends remain a steady, comforting constant. Explore our organic rooibos tea collection and keep that piece of home close, even while the rest of it is still being figured out.
We do not know yet exactly where our next teahouse will be, but we know what it needs to feel like. It needs to feel like the version of home so many of you described to us over the years, unhurried, warm, and a little bit like family. Wherever we land, we plan to build that feeling again from the ground up, and we hope you will be there to help us do it.

Home is where the tea steeps, and right now that home is a little bit scattered, living in kitchens, offices, and porches across West Palm Beach while we search for a roof to put over it again. We are grateful for every one of you who is keeping that feeling alive in the meantime. With so much love and gratitude, thank you for helping Serenity feel like home, no matter where we are brewing from right now.
