We handed back the keys today, but last night, before Alex and I locked the door behind us for what was likely the last time, I took this photo. I took a breath (shed a tear 🥹) and paused to remember all that had transpired in this place. I feel so grateful for it all.

We all grew a little older and wiser. We felt loved. We felt appreciated. It felt like home.

Woven through it all was my family - Alex, Em, Lokki, and Grace, and my wonderful friends, (some of which were customers first) you all know who you are! All of your hands, hearts, hope and prayers helped make this dream possible.

And our staff - our beautiful staff - who carried joy, kindness, and grace into every moment, shaping this space into something far more than walls and tables.

It was a beautiful place to share. It was a beautiful place to make memories.
Thank you for joining us.

But most of all, thank You, Lord, for being in it all. Whether they knew it or not, it was Your spirit of Grace in this place that truly made it what it was, and I am forever grateful that I got to run this little Tea Room in Blackwood.

The Memory Book has found its place on our table, and every time I open it, a little piece of our tea room comes fluttering back. 💛

When we closed our doors last week, so many of you tucked beautiful cards, notes and memories into our book. I promised I'd share them with you over the coming weeks...

Truth be told, I can only read a handful at a time.

Each page brings smiles, laughter, tears, and memories of cups poured, cakes shared, friendships made and moments we never realised would mean so much. Before I know it, my heart is so wonderfully full that I have to close the book for a little while.

Take this journey with us, one precious page at a time.

Thank you for leaving us your words. They are a gift beyond measure, and I can't wait to share these little treasures with everyone who helped make our tea room such a magical place.

As we closed the tea room doors for the very last time last week, we were completely surrounded by kindness.

The beautiful flowers, delicious chocolates, heartfelt cards, thoughtful gifts, and your many well wishes have filled our hearts more than we can say. Every hug, every smile, and every "thank you" reminded us just how special this little tea room has been, not just to us, but to so many of you.

We have also been quietly reading through the lovely messages you have left in our memory book. There have been plenty of smiles, a few tears (lots if I'm honest!) and so many treasured memories. 💐☕❤️

Over the next couple of weeks, as we pack away the teapots, cups, and all the little things that made this place home, we will be sharing some of your beautiful words. Thank you for leaving us with memories we will cherish forever.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of our story. While the doors may have closed, the friendships, laughter, and memories we have made together will always have a place with us.

With love and endless gratitude,
❤️

Hello everyone, isn't it amazing how swiftly time is passing? We are now just four days away from the grand finale of our Tea Room in Blackwood. Here are a couple of updates to keep in mind - firstly, don't worry about stocking up on your favourite teas, as it's still available online through our website. The closure of the Tea Room does not signal the end of Brackendale Tea Co.; we are very much alive and thriving. Secondly, we have been overwhelmed with requests for last-minute bookings, and our tables are filling up fast. While our lunchtime slots are almost fully booked, we do have some availability for early mornings or late afternoons on select days. If you are hoping to squeeze in a visit, send us a text, and we will let you know if we can accommodate you. Please don't drop by without confirming, as we cannot guarantee a table without prior booking. We will only confirm your table booking via a return message, so please await our response.

✨ A Little Invitation to Share a Little Magic ✨

Every tea cup poured at the Brackendale Tea Room has carried a story — some whispered, some laughed, some quietly tucked into the corners of our cosy tea room. Over the past three years, this place has become a patchwork of moments stitched together by the people who have wandered in for warmth, company or simply a really lovely cup of tea.

Now, we would love to gather those moments like treasures.

You will find a board titled “What the Brackendale Tea Room Has Meant to Me”, along with a charming little box filled with blank pages, tiny cards, envelopes, and pens waiting patiently for your words on the fire mantel piece.

If the tea room has ever brightened your day, wrapped you in comfort, sparked a memory, been a place of celebration or given you a place to pause, we invite you to write it down. A note, a doodle, a memory, a thank‑you, or a sprinkle of kind words… all are welcome. Use the tiny cards or write or doodle straight in the book.

Each message becomes a thread in our keepsake memory book. A gift for the future, a hug from the past and a celebration of the community that has made this place feel like home.

🫖💛 Thank you for being part of our story and for letting us be part of yours.

We have been so humbled by the incredible response there has been to our announcement that we are closing the Tea Room. There have been many, many wonderful comments from community members and a huge increase in customers wanting to experience our High Teas, High Tea Brunches and the atmosphere of the Tea Room before we close on 18 July.

I (Anthea) have just been living my dream, doing what I love in my happy place with cups of tea and home baking at its best. However, the huge response has made us realise how much value the community has placed on the Tea Room. There has been much emotion expressed by many customers at the news and this has deeply connected with us. Many have asked whether we would "sell the business". Until this was raised, we didn't feel it was an option to consider. So, after some thought about what this might look like, we are putting it out there - The Tea Room business is for sale!

We would love to hand over the Tea Room to someone who has the vision, passion and energy to take it to the next level. If you (or anyone you know) is interested in continuing the tradition of the Tea Room in Blackwood, we would love to have a conversation. We would also be happy to do what we can to facilitate a smooth transition with minimal (or no) downtime for the community.

We expect the property managers (Commercial SA) to be advertising the premises in the near future. So, if you (or someone you know) is interested, please get in touch with us soon and we will talk about what transition options may be available. Serious expressions of interest only, please.

Failing this, the last day The Tea Room will be open is Saturday 18th July.

Dear Tea Lovers, Neighbours, and beautiful Community who have filled the Tea Room with life,

This is a message we never imagined writing.

After recent news of a significant rent increase from our new landlord, and after much heart-searching and careful thought, we have come to the painful decision to close Brackendale Tea Room in Blackwood.

It has been a meeting place, a refuge, a celebration spot, a first date venue, a quiet corner for a book or a bit of knitting or crochet. It has been a warm hug in a cup of tea and a place for mates to meet over coffee.

We have shared weddings, baby showers, wakes, birthdays, new jobs, retirements and countless everyday moments that mattered deeply, perhaps more than anyone has realised. It has been yours as much as it has been ours.

You have brought your stories, your laughter, your tears, your parents, your brothers, your sisters, your husbands, your wives, your children, your friends and mates. You trusted us to look after you, and that trust has been our greatest privilege.

Our final trading day will be Saturday 18th July 2026. Over the next eight weeks, we will not be mourning an ending, we will be celebrating everything we have created together.

We would love you to visit as much as you can – having a cuppa, a slice of something yummy and a chat at the counter. Let’s fill these final weeks with warmth and memories.

Thank you for supporting us, believing in us and making the Tea Room a place worth loving.

If you have a Gift Voucher hiding in your wallet, please book in to use it before we close.

Your favourite loose-leaf teas and tisanes will still be available via our website (brackendaletea.com) beyond July 2026.

What comes next? First, a little rest — a holiday or two — and then… well, we are not entirely sure. There are definitely new ideas brewing, so join our mailing list through the website (brackendaletea.com) to be the first to hear what unfolds for Brackendale Tea Co. — our kettle definitely hasn’t done singing yet!

With all our gratitude,

Anthea, Alex and the Brackendale team

Do you need a reset moment?

We suggest you start with a Fresh Perspective!

Our Organic Fresh Perspective Peppermint comes from the pristine mountains of the northwestern USA, where crisp spring air and rich soil create peppermint with some of the highest natural oil content you’ll ever taste.

You open the tin and it hits you - the eye‑watering, chest‑opening, unbelievably cool peppermint intensity. No wonder our customers tell us "this is the best peppermint tea I've ever had!"

Naturally caffeine‑free and traditionally used to soothe digestion, freshen breath, and calm the body—this is your go‑to cup for clarity.

Brew deeply but not for too long. Breathe slowly. And let your world shift into a fresh perspective.
