Serene Teaz

Fabulous locally owned tea shop. The selection of teas is amazing and the packaging helps to keep my tea fresh and easy to measure out for my next cup!
There are always samples and they will brew up any tea you’d like a cup of while you are there.
If you’re in need of a gift they have a wonderful selection of cups, tea pots, travel mugs, tea bags, and kitchen accessories.
The staff is knowledgeable and friendly if you have any questions and their classes are always selling out, if my review doesn’t convince you of your need to visit!
With a few chain stores for hot liquids in the area I would never consider going anywhere else but Serene Teaz!

Stopped in this afternoon for a quick iced tea but I could have spent a hot minute here. Holy cow are there a lot of options. All the teas I takes were fantastic. The person helping me was very informative and super nice. There are so many thing here beyond tea. I can’t wait to come back here with my daughters and have a cool tea service. This place is too cute!

Love this place. It’s open and airy. Lots of tables and chairs. Very nice people that work there. An excellent selection of Teas. You can buy a cup or a pot or a package to take home. I like to go over there and take my computer and relax for the afternoon with a nice pot of tea while I do my work. Bill to have snacks that you can buy in case you get hungry. The location is beautiful downtown Wheaton.

The tea is very reasonably priced and delicious. The environment is quiet and the staff is friendly. I met up with a group of people to do some work for a few hours & it was perfect. You can get a pot of tea that will last you awhile.

Very knowledgeable staff as well as very friendly. They are not tea snobs, but passionate purveyors of tea. Not a chain, so I will be supporting this store moving forward!

This is my favorite tea shop. Really, the reason I’d visit Wheaton. I love bringing out-​of-​state guests, who always leave with purchases stuffed in their carry-​on bags. I love how you can see the many teas in glass sample jars, open them for a whiff, and then ask for brewed sample upon sample. I adore their Queen Mary black tea and also Fruit Mélange (which contains dried chunks of apple, kiwi, sour cherries, sliced cranberries, and coconut flakes). I have enjoyed tea all over the States and England, but when I arrived home after my first cup of Queen Mary, I wrote on the calendar, «Today I drank my first cup of tea.»
SereneTeaz also sells unique and quality tea accessories, including a fantastic covered steeping pitcher. Even though I have teapots all over my living room, dining room, kitchen, and family room, the pot I use every single day is my Brown Betty from SereneTeaz.

Staff friendly and helpful. An extensive assortment of tea. Would like more of an assortment of bakery items to have with tea.

After moving away a year ago, Serene Teaz makes my list as best place for tea and for gifts!

This place is a gem! The staff was friendly but not pushy. We are very happy with our selections.

I’ve always wondered where else I could get tea instead of Teavanna around the suburbs. I was pleased to find this spot through Unilocal.I ordered a HUGE pot of the Earl Grey Roobios… I think that’s what I had. I also tried an apple blossom dessert and it was scrumptious. I think I drank about 7 cups of tea from that small teapot over a period of 2 hours or so.
I definitely plan on heading back for some tea or gifts. They have a lot of seating, free wifi, and cute quirky gifts.

They have an amazing tea selection. I always have a hard time choosing what I want to get. Overall, the tea is very good quality, and the samples are not sweetened (which is a sign of a good tea place).
They also have some pretty nice teaware and kitchen accessories. I’m always tempted to just get something every time I go in there.
The owner is very friendly and knowledgeable, as well as all of the employees. The service has always been great and very helpful.
The atmosphere is also very nice. It’s very well-​lit (but not too bright), clean, and organized. Even the bathrooms are spotless!
I highly recommend coming here if you’re looking for a nice spot in downtown Wheaton. Just don’t visit after 5PM or on Sundays or Mondays; this is when it’s closed.

I like coming here for tea and sweets; the selection of teas is outstanding and the service always friendly. The prices are decent too and the atmosphere is alright, can get a bit noisy or way too quite, but otherwise this place is great.

My experience here was quick (my fault for not realizing they closed at 5), but I was here just long enough to fall in love.
Iced tea has totally been my new jam lately. I was thirsty and looking to go on another date with my laptop, and after browsing Unilocal I found that Serene Teaz would be just the spot!
I love that the first thing I see on the front door is a thank you sign thanking patrons for choosing local business. Now that’s an adorable hello that makes you feel appreciated! I was greeted right away and I went up to browse the ginormous menu of teas! They had Tropical Tranquility Green Iced Tea out to taste test, so of course I did (love me a good sample). It was sooo refreshing so I went with that! Ordered a large and cozied up at one of their café tables. I was there probably 15 minutes before I glanced back on Unilocal and realized they were closing at 5. Wah wahhh. On my way I had to go.
It was such a TEAZ! I love this little shop — wish I could have hung out longer. Such a cute place to chill café style, or you can shop around for delicious tea and accessories. I obviously will be back (and earlier in the afternoon) so I can get my shop on and take tea goodies home!

Move over, Teavana! I’ve got a new favorite tea shop.
A dear friend of mine, knowing how much I adore tea (and herself being a big tea aficionado), brought me here one fine afternoon for an afternoon of smells and samples. I had a [not so secret] love affair with Serene Teaz that day.
Serene Teaz itself is half tea shoppe, half tea café. Teas, teapots, teacups, and tea accessories line the wall and the the display areas on the floor. And the tea selection! So many! I spent a long time standing and crouching by the shelves, picking out all the ones I wanted to try and smelling all the bottles I could. I liked that I was able to explore at my own pace, instead of having all the delicious smells behind the front counter. This made for a more relaxed shopping experience. And needless to say, I grabbed quite a few different teas to purchase, including some smaller bags on clearance. The tea accessories are cute too, but lean a bit more on the expensive side. This is, after all, a tea boutique in Wheaton.
Up front, you can get some tea samples from whatever they have out — but you can also ‘order’ samples of a couple more teas. for free. It’s a great option so you can try before you buy. The store has a couple tables off to the side so you can hang out while you taste. Absolutely lovely, I just wish they had a couple comfortable chairs or a couch, too.
My favorite tea from Serene Teaz? «Two Trees» — a green tea/​maple/​walnut combination that doesn’t really sounds good to me but tastes absolutely divine. I also enjoy the variety of fruit-​flavored teas (my favorite kind… I’m a fruity person).
If you’re looking for a new place to get loose-​leaf tea or just to hang out for a few samples while in downtown Wheaten, do check this place out. You may fall in love.

There are over 130 different tea flavors and you can ask for a sample for the majority of them. The workers were really helpful in helping me decide what to order since I was overwhelmed by the menu. I ended up getting the angel’s kiss tea, which is a blend of green tea with strawberry and pineapple. I was happy with my decision and I will definitely come back if I am ever in the area.

I loved this place! I had no idea this even existed until one day I was leaving my eye doctor and saw a little café and people doing some work while drinking tea. I believe the heavens started singing to me because I have been looking for a local place like this for a long time. Being a tea drinker is difficult in a coffee-​obsessed world, so when one stumbles across something like Serene Teaz, one must take advantage! They brew all of their teas right in front of you and do not add any additional ingredients, such as sugar. For their large size, it was only three dollars, and it was enormous! They do accept credit cards but only if you have more than a 10 dollar purchase, so keep cash handy! I only work a few blocks away and look forward to summer days sipping my tea and working on some paperwork at Serene Teaz!

Twice I’ve been here now and it’s time for a review. I laughed as I walked in recalling the first time I was here, it was the «pregame» spot for my bachelorette party. Serene Teaz wasn’t as serene as it should have been that day; a bunch of young twenty somethings piling into a tea shop adorned with wands, kazoos, veils, sashes, hats and such all in the unfortunate shape of, well…
This time it was just little old married me. The first thing I noticed is that this store has a variety of interesting merchandise. Teapots, kettles, tea sets, cups, saucers, infusers, plates, cozies! Pretty much everything «tea» is here and I want all of it. I restrained my batty little inner hoarder and approached the counter. After reading over the large selection of tea and asking several novice questions, I ordered a small pot ($ 3.50) of Earl grey de la crème. The lady asked me if I would like honey or sugar. Honey of course! I was also going to ask for a pastry, but the selection is sparse and dry looking which I found pretty disappointing. ** Comment on customer service: the ladies are not only unclear on how they will be serving you (I watched several customers get up to take their tea from the counter only to be told it would be brought to them; I have also experienced the same lack of communication) but they all have the unfortunate aura of dry rudeness about them. I’ve been here twice mind you and both times it was like this. ** Seated in the bright and happy looking tea room decorated in a lovely way for Christmas, I waited for my pot until I was sipping on a cup of delicious. (The small pot will give you roughly 4 cups of tea which is nice) I read my book for a few hours taking serious note of the fact that there was not one comfortable chair to read in. That is a must and you know it Serene Teaz!
Once I finished my tea, I went poking around the merchandise once again only to discover that their bulk tea is waaaaay overpriced. I’m very familiar with the prices of loose tea and let me tell you Serene is counting on you being one ignorant tea sipper. Serene also advertises a VIP program for regulars that goes something like this: spend $ 100 in a month and you get 5% off a gift card from them. Gee thanks…*snort*

Checkout: My bill came to $ 4 something. Huh? I thought the pot of tea was $ 3.50? There’s no way these wacko politicians raised my taxes again! They didn’t, at least not yet. The problems was that the lady had charged me for honey. CHARGED me for HUNNNNYY. What’s going on in this world? I had her take it off my bill. Aside from the attempt to get an extra 50 cents out my wallet, you must know that they would like a minimum $ 10 credit card purchase or you are going to have to use cash. In summary, although the tea was nice, I’m don’t find the experience worth another visit. Overall I would say Serene Teaz is just average.

Great spot in downtown Wheaton. Friendly service and they have samples to try.
I got an iced mojito flavored green tea (I can’t remember the exact name) (a 20oz was about $ 3.50 — though other iced teas were priced less expensively). My friend and I both enjoyed our iced teas and I’d come back.

We popped in here after brunch one weekday morning and I fell in love. I mean, I love tea, and we have plenty of tea shops in Kansas City that are awesome, so I wasn’t expecting much more than the usual when we walked in.
But I was surprised at how many choices there were! Walls and walls of every kind of tea imaginable! The staff was super helpful and offered to let us try any flavor we wanted. I tried three, mostly because I didn’t want to be greedy. But if I lived there, I’d totally be in there every week trying something new.
I ended up buying a bag of loose chai and a nifty tumbler that steeps on the go. There were so many things to look at, I could have spent a lot more time perusing the tea pots and paraphernalia. But sadly, we had to go.
Such a great place and in a lovely downtown area. Bonus: they gave me a fridge magnet with steeping times for different types of tea. Very cool!

Serene Teaz, we meet again. We weren’t but new friends when you left Elmhurst but I found you again in Wheaton!
What a nice place, clean and bright with great stock and beyond the call of duty women who work here. As I walked in I realized they were getting ready to close but they urged me to take my time. I scurried around the store and picked out a Blueberry tea and a Ginger tea plus ordered a large raspberry iced tea to go. It made my heart beat with happiness when they made that iced tea right there, on the spot, just for me! I paid and perused a bit more as the tea was steeping.
Then I spotted the lamp of my dreams that I have always wanted without really knowing it. A teapot lamp and not just any teapot, a blue and white teapot. And I could afford it! Slight guilt to make them do another sale at closing time was brushed aside by these wonderful women.
I sauntered out completely pleased with my teas, the store and most of all the most adorable lamp you have ever seen. I am looking at it right now and you are welcome to come over and see it as well. We can have some tea together, blueberry or ginger?
