Established on June 5, 2009 by sibling duo and Cal State Fullerton Alums Michellee Phelps and Jonathan Munsayac, their passion for tea, extensive backgrounds in food, special events and marketing inspired them to create Tranquil Tea Lounge as an alternative to the bar scene, coffeehouse and Victorian Tea Room. Unfortunately, on March 31, 2020 they made the difficult decision to permanently close their tea lounge after 11 years of business in Downtown Fullerton, CA due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Continuing her passion for tea, Michellee established Mākena Tea based in her home state of Hawai'i in early 2021.
