Healing, Glowing, and Growing – One Act of Self-Care At a Time

There’s something sacred about brewing tea slowly – not just pouring boiling water over a bag, but intentionally layering flavor, warmth, and ritual. When the world feels loud, a kettle humming and the aroma of spices rising from the steam can feel like a small act of peace.

Today I am sharing one of my favorite calming blends – a cozy, spiced, loose-leaf tea that’s perfect for chilly mornings, quiet afternoons, or a soothing evening wind-down. It’s earthy from the Ahmad loose-leaf tea collection, bright with citrus, and gently warming thanks to the aromatic spices. The best part? It’s incredibly easy to make with a tea kettle and infuser.
