Every writer needs a good companion. For this article, I found mine in four tea blends.

“Writing depends not only on what flows out of us, but also on what we take in.”

I tried @writers.tea , blends made for every phase of a writer’s journey. Could they make me a better writer?

When I found Writer’s Tea, I felt understood.
Four blends — for every part of a writer’s journey.
From mate for energy and focus in front of a blank page,
to chamomile and liquorice when it’s time to save and close.

I couldn’t wait to try them all and answer the question:
Could tea make me a better writer?

Fiction reading changes your brain. 📚✨
During this first month of our book‑club read, I’ve made time for tea and books more than I have in a long while — and I’ve noticed the difference.

More imagination.
More interesting conversations.
Quiet reflections that linger long after I close the book.

My view while brewing tea outside — a path I’ve walked a thousand times, but saw anew. 🍃

Research shows that simply being in nature lowers cortisol, even without exercise.
Brewing tea outdoors deepens that calm, creating a mindful state that feels regenerative.

ICYMI, comment OUTSIDE to read my latest reflection on why tea tastes better outdoors — and the science behind the experience.

Brewing tea outside sits at the intersection of so many wellness practices — mindfulness, sensory awareness, and nature therapy. 🍃

“Life is always giving us opportunities to dip into the magic of the moment, and all it takes is a portal or two to get there.”

Have you ever tried sipping tea outside? 🍃
The birdsong, the sunlight, the quiet rhythm of brewing…
It turns out there are real, scientifically backed reasons why this experience actually makes tea taste better.

I put it to the test — and the difference was undeniable.
My latest article for SIP Magazine from @canadatea explores how taking your teaware outdoors transforms a simple act into a grounding ritual for mind and body.

Comment OUTSIDE and I’ll send the link straight to your DMs. ✨

Now that fall is here, I’ve been craving a cozy project — something slow, tactile, and tea‑centred. So I decided to try making candles infused with real tea.

The first step: infusing jojoba oil with the scent of three teas. Once the oils are ready, I’ll blend them into my soy candle base and see what happens.

Will they turn out?
Will these tea‑infusions actually capture the aroma of Jasmine, Chai, and Earl Grey?

Stay tuned for Part 2.
I’ll also be writing about the full process and everything I learned on my Substack — for better or worse! 🕯️

Can we normalize not waiting for the “perfect” time to slow down?

The pressure to wait for ideal lighting, quiet, or the ‘right moment’ for our favourite reset rituals isn’t realistic.

If you can steal a 15-minute walk between meetings, prepare a cup of tea, or take a 20-minute bath over lunch with your book club pick, it counts. Rest works best when you actually take it, however that looks for you.

@inoki_bathhouse blends have become a staple in my self-care menu.

Comment BATH below and I’ll send you my review of my first experience.
