Here at Lilify, we are absolutely smitten with California tea purveyor Teappo 's newly-introduced rose oolong tea. This medium roasted rose oolong offers notes of smooth florals with a lovely, sweet aftertaste, and the dried rose petals are beautiful.

Available in the shop at 281 Lighthouse Avenue and on our website .

Cypress Boutique has a new spring selection of cozy, stylish clothing for men and women. We love how soft and sporty the new Slam crewneck sweatshirts are (with double stitching for extra durability) and our new, fitted unisex cotton t-shirts have a beautiful feel.

Stop by the shop and check out all our new arrivals at 800 Lighthouse Avenue, Suite C.
