A note from Kas

There are some mornings that linger long after the last teacup is cleared.
The PoeTea Party was one of them.
Recently, we had the pleasure of welcoming guests to Panache Tea Boutique in Waterloo, Iowa for a special gathering organized by the Waterloo Public Library.
The library created a thoughtful morning centered around poetry, reflection, and community, while we had the honor of providing the setting, tea service, and a Brunch Tea Experience for guests to enjoy.
Guests were invited to browse a curated collection of poetry, settle in with tea, and enjoy a relaxed atmosphere where they could write, listen, reflect, or simply be.
There was no pressure to perform.
No need to rush.
Just a beautiful room filled with warm cups, kind faces, and moments of connection.
At Panache, we have always believed tea creates space for something deeper. It invites people to slow down, gather, and share meaningful moments together.
It was a joy to see our space used in such a thoughtful way, where creativity and community could meet around the table.
We are grateful to the Waterloo Public Library for choosing Panache for this special event, and to every guest who joined us and made the morning feel so warm and memorable.
Our hope has always been for Panache to be more than a place to dine.
We hope it feels like a place to exhale.
A place to connect.
A place where meaningful moments are made.
Mornings like this remind us why we opened our doors.
With gratitude,
Kas
Panache Tea Boutique
A pause for tea. A place for connection.
