Just finished a weekend of taking the Adjourn Blend Bar experience to the @ubiquitous_expo for the first time on behalf of @cantubeauty. Thank you for having us 💫

This was also a weekend where I had to really listen to my body:
- I wasn’t operating at 100%, took more breaks than usual.
- I had to cancel a Slow Pour I really didn’t want to + I hate disappointing my people💔.
- Between migraine + losing my voice, I had to slow down a spell.

And, still, I showed up and gave so much love this weekend with the support of my sis @sunshinearnold11 ❤️

Sometimes the convo about entrepreneurs vs 9-5 jobs misses the point - everybody is working as hard as they can! And this weekend reminded me that my care, my team’s care, and the care of those who hold me up matters most as I keep building.

So today I’m resting, then back to orders ASAP. 🫶🏾 Thank you to everyone who stopped by Cantu + grabbed your custom tea blend with purchase. Honored to be a part of your Hydration House!

Special thanks to the team at @conversateco for trusting me + showing such grace when our PAUSE was needed most!

✨ What I REALLY Do ✨
Lemme cook….
I’m NOT just “making tea,” love. ❤️

Pause is my ritual. Tea is my tool.

Not a tagline, not a gimmick. It’s a practice I return to daily. I slow down. I listen. I blend tea. I share. I pour. I sip.

This is ancestral work.
This is creative work.
This is art.

Sharing a bit of my pause practice - finishing a blend and sharing it with the sun outside of my studio. 70+ tea blends later, I still return. 💕

I’m not just selling tea - I’m pouring into US with US! I don’t do this in isolation thanks for the community of women who pull me out with love. ❤️ Grateful for YOU and engaging in this practice with me. 🥹🥰

FUN FACT: @projectpat is one of my top 5 lyricists ever. And, YES, I blend tea to “Mista Don’t Play” 😂 taken in Adjourn Teahouse by @adjournteahouse

Peace & Love, Y’all. And, welcome to all the new folx stopping by ☺️

I’m LaTonia Cokely, founder + CEO of Adjourn®️, your favorite artisanal loose-leaf tea company where we don’t just sip—we PAUSE intentionally.

I birthed Adjourn in 2019, but the dream lived in me long before that. Tea found me in my deepest grief after losing both my mother and father.

Blending teas became my ritual—a way to slow down, process, and hold space for myself. Each cup was a small act of healing, a gentle reminder to breathe. Eventually, I shared my blends with friends, family, and my beloved Sorors (🐘🔺), and it was clear—I had magic to offer. 🪄✨

I’m not an herbalist (yet). I like to call myself a Creative Wellness Practitioner, curating + hand-blending luxurious teas designed to elevate your personal rituals. BUT—I’ve recently started apprenticing with my favorite herbalist, Amber of @isoulnaturals , diving deeper into the craft. 🌿

Things that have made me smile recently…

Pause Study 002: on sacred rage.

I broke my pause for a little while to be mad. Out loud. In public. 😂 And whew, I’m proud of myself!!

Love always to @jennsroberts for creating this brilliant story residency at the @coloredgirlslab + helping us love on each part of us. 💜✨

I’m learning that pause doesn’t always have to be soft or quiet. Sometimes it gives us enough room to hear what we’ve been swallowing.

I’m still grieving. I’m still mad. I’m still tender. I’m still becoming. I’m making room for all of me.

P.S. The Rebirth of @adjournteahouse is on the way. I’m taking my time with this one, love. Stay tuned. I miss y’all. by @adjournteahouse

I’m emerging from my pause with this one. 🥹

Glory Days: Sacred Rage. I’m getting onstage to do something I’ve never done, I’m scared as hell, and I love that for me. 😂

I’ve spent a lot of this year grieving, stopping, leaning into a bit of rage, and giving myself permission not to rush toward feeling better. So I’m bringing some of that to the stage with humor.

And because I come from good stock, I’ll also be calling on the spirit of my mama, Beverly, who taught me many beautiful things…including the fine + necessary art of cussing a motherfucka out. 😂

I’m also deeply honored to share the stage with an INCREDIBLE group of women bringing their own stories, art, movement, and performances to this exploration of Black women’s rage. I can’t wait to witness them and to be witnessed alongside them.

Ten days. Come see what happens. 🖤

First, thank you, Winnie, for this beautiful note left at our final event at Adjourn Studio - Threshold. 🖤😌

Yesterday I had surgery, and I’m healing🙏🏽. As I walked through my sacred space today, I ran across this note.

It felt like a little reminder of what I’m making room for in this season.✨

In my pause, I’m welcoming in the sweet + tender love I deserve. I’m letting myself be cared for, held, and loved well.

And I’m also allowing myself to feel rage. To be pissed. To let things bother me without rushing to turn them into gratitude or a lesson.

Tenderness and rage can live in the same house.

Turns out, it’s been quite nice here. 😂 by @adjournteahouse

“I forgive myself for NOT being perfect.”
- Beverly Smith (my mama) 😌

Seven words I recite in this PAUSE.
And lately, it’s the *NOT* I keep returning to.

A few years ago, my cousin @charmher engraved these words onto a wooden coaster for me. ✨

This is a mantra my mother repeated during her transition and made sure my sister @blair_ebonyyy and I carried with us.

As I grieve the closing of the studio. The loss of a pregnancy. The life and business I thought I’d have. Changes in my body, my energy, my capacity. All the things that shift as we age and live and lose and become.

So this morning, I’m saying it again…

“I forgive myself for not being the perfect…”
- business owner, wife, friend, sister, daughter, artist, steward of everything I’ve built and the perfect version of myself for me

I’m so grateful my mother left us these seven words before she passed.

And in my PAUSE this morning, I offer them to you as you begin your week:

“I forgive myself for NOT being perfect.”

Hopefully you have the day off today. Go enjoy some of it while being wonderfully, humanly imperfect.

(Okay, back to the pause. Love y’all.) by @adjournteahouse

52 weeks. Four seasons.
One invitation: PAUSE + notice where you are. 🌿

The Root + Flow deck was created as a yearlong companion for intentional pause, divided into four seasons, each with its own tone, guiding words, witnessing prompts, and simple ways to embody pause.

Pull one card each week.
Sit with the prompt. Write to it.
Make something from it. Practice it.
Or forget the order entirely and choose the card that meets you where you are.

Because the truth is, our seasons don’t always arrive on schedule. And learning to care for ourselves means learning to listen for what we need now.

If you’ve been waiting for yours, this is a beautiful time to begin. 🖤 Link in bio 👆🏽 by @adjournteahouse

A little color, a little curiosity, and permission to pause. 🌿🫖✨

On day one of Creators for Democracy, @adjournwithtonia of @adjournteahouse invited guests into INFUSION—a sensory experience filled with teas, herbs, spices, and botanicals.

Guests followed their senses, experimented with different ingredients, and created a cup entirely their own. No recipes. No rules. Just pleasure, presence, and a moment to slow down. 💛

Six years ago, this was an empty room.

Yesterday, we emptied it again 2,190 days later.

But those are two very different kinds of empty.

In between the emptying…
- 34,000+ teas & products shipped
- Hundreds of guests
- Countless events
- Home for @coloredgirlslab
- Millions of tears
- Thousands of cups poured

We gathered. We blended. We dreamed. We cried. We celebrated. We made friends. We made art. We made a HOME. We made a body of work.

This room held Slow Pours, parties, tears, sound baths, blend bars, Colored Girls.

It held long packing days with friends and family, many late nights and VERY big ideas that had absolutely NO business fitting inside 900 square feet.

And now, Adjourn Studio is no longer a place I can hold.

What a tender to say.

But looking at these numbers reminds me that the work was never the walls. And, it was always more than tea.

Look what WE made in here, love!

Thank you, Nicole Drive.
You held us all so well.
