Let’s be honest most of us have tried creating a wellness routine that looked cute on Pinterest but flopped in real life. You know the type: a 15-step morning ritual that requires waking up at 5 a.m., boiling moon water, and journaling your entire life story before breakfast. Yeah… no. The truth is, a ritual should feel like a hug from your highest self, not another thing on your to-do list. That’s why creating a tea ritual that actually feels good starts with keeping it real and letting it evolve with you, mood swings, lazy days and all.
Start with the vibe not the steps. Your herbal tea ritual isn’t just about the herbs (though we’ll get to those too), it’s about the mood you want to create. Want calm? Think soft music, cozy socks, and a tea that soothes your nervous system. Feeling bloated or off? Grab that peppermint or ginger blend and light a candle that smells like you’re about to cancel plans. Match your ritual to the energy you need that day there’s no “perfect” way to do it. Even if your ritual is just you in your bonnet with one light on and a chipped mug, it’s still sacred.
Now, let’s talk tea. Chamomile, lavender, lemon balm, raspberry leaf, nettle, hibiscus they’re all like your plant-based girl gang. Whether you’re steeping for relaxation, womb wellness, energy, or glow from within skin, choose herbs that support how you want to feel. Pro tip: prep a few blends ahead in cute little jars so you don’t have to think when you’re tired. Bonus points if you add in sea moss to add some extra nutrition benefits. Our blend Cielo supports relaxation, skin health, gut balance, and immunity which are all great things when it comes to channeling your inner self.
The real tea? Your ritual should make you feel more you. This isn’t about perfection or aesthetics (though we love a cute setup). It’s about presence. Whether you sip your tea in silence, with a journal, or while binge-watching reality TV, if it brings you peace, clarity, or a deep exhale, that’s the magic. The best rituals aren’t the ones you force they’re the ones that feel like home. So spill your tea, set the mood, and let your healing be soft, slow, and uniquely yours.
