About SerendipiTea
SerendipiTea was started in the mid-1990s by Tomislav Podreka and Linda Villano in a walk-up apartment on Manhattan's Upper West Side. It now works out of Manhasset on Long Island, where teas are packed by hand into recycled and biodegradable packaging, and it supplies restaurants and hotels as well as home buyers.
The catalog mixes single-estate teas with house blends that carry playful names, and it buys certified organic lots when they are available. Its blends are the reason to order: try Little Green Apples or Chaucer's Cup first, then check the single-estate list for a plain tea to compare.
