Wedding Cake Tea by Taras Teas is suggestion over indulgence.

Almond extract, toasted oolong warmth, and gentle sweetness without dessert theatrics.

Balanced, restrained, quietly comforting.

Blueberry Peach Green Tea from White Cloud Tea Co is simply a bottled sunbeam.

Bright peach leads with juicy tang, followed by soft blueberry and a gentle floral lift. Smooth, crisp, and refreshing. Perfect for when you want a lighter, uplifting cup.

Decaffeinated Tea: Understanding the Process Behind the Cup

Decaf isn’t thin by default. The difference lies in what happens to the leaf before it ever reaches your mug. Understanding the process changes everything.

Decaf Diaries: Brodies Decaffeinated

Decaf done right. Full bodied, grounding, and rich with the malty notes so many decafs lose. Nothing thin or hollow here, just a proper cup of black tea. Proof that decaf does not have to feel diminished.

Tea is quiet, but its history is not.

Behind every cup are smugglers, empires, monks, warriors, accidents, and rebellion. Leaves that crossed oceans, sparked wars, and shaped cultures now rest calmly in our mugs.

You’re tasting centuries in a single sip.

Decaf Diaries: Decaf Chocolate Truffle
Veronica’s Intl Palace of Tea

Deep cacao aroma meets bright decaf Ceylon, beautifully balanced and comforting with a touch of vanilla cream. Not just a dessert tea, but thoughtful and quietly luxurious.

Jasmine Pearl
iTeaworld

Graceful, not perfumed for effect. Hand rolled green tea pearls scented naturally with fresh jasmine offer a light, floral cup with gentle sweetness and a smooth, lingering finish.

This is the kind of jasmine tea that changes minds

Pearl Orchid Green Tea iTeaworld

Some teas whisper rather than speak. This one does exactly that. Softly scented with pearl orchid using traditional methods, it offers clarity, balance, and quiet elegance rather than perfume or intensity.

Decaf Diaries: Decaf Toasted Marshmallow

A rediscovered favorite from my stash and a perfect fit for decaf season. Warm vanilla, soft apple, and a naturally creamy, pillowy mouthfeel from marshmallow root. Cozy, gentle, and never cloying. Comfort in a cup.

Steeping Into the New Year ✨

New Year’s Eve doesn’t have to be loud. Tea invites a softer pause between what was and what’s coming. Release the old with one cup, welcome the new with another, and let intention replace resolution.

Gentle beginnings count.

Decaf Diaries: Decaf Vanilla Comoro
Harney & Sons

Bold black tea first, vanilla second. Smooth, restrained, and surprisingly full for a decaf. A splash of vanilla cream rounds it beautifully. Still missing the malt I crave, but one of the better decafs.

Decaf Diaries: Thompson’s Decaf Tea

Turning a forced caffeine break into a monthlong search for genuinely good decaf.

Thompson’s Decaf is drinkable but mild, with softened malt and less depth than expected.

🌙 Solstice Glow Tea Mocktail

A warming cup to welcome the return of the light. Strong black tea, honey or maple, a splash of citrus, and a pinch of cinnamon.

Grounding, gently bright, and perfect by candlelight. Set an intention as you stir.

Cinnamon Oolong
Hummingbird Tea

Not usually an oolong fan due to heavy roast, but this one won me over. Smooth, buttery Jade Tung Ting oolong with soft grassy notes, gentle nuttiness, and a hint of cinnamon warmth. No roast, multiple steeps.

Spice Cake from Hummingbird Tea tastes like memory poured into a teacup. Earthy puerh with cloves, cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom creates a warm, nostalgic cup full of comfort without sugary sweetness. Smooth, spiced, and beautifully balanced.

I did not expect this tea to be one of the surprising standouts of Advent, but Inspired Leaf’s Luscious Cherry completely changed my mind. It was such an unexpected favorite that it actually inspired me to turn it into a mocktail.
