Serengeti Teas Newburgh

something about liberty street pulls you back. newburgh has been having a slow, uneven comeback for years now, and serengeti teas sits right in the middle of that, at 173 liberty st, in a part of the hudson valley that rewards the people patient enough to pay attention. this isn't a place that announces itself loudly. the regulars here are consistent and vocal in their appreciation, which says more about what's being done right than any single visit can. as a roaster, the focus is on the beans themselves, on what happens before the cup, and that priority tends to show. if you're coming up from the city or cutting through on a weekend, the morning window at liberty street is worth building your timing around.
