Spill the Tea

One of the unexpected parts of this 365 Days of Tea journey has been realizing that the tea isn’t the only thing steeping, this experiment in daily writing is as well.

And like any good experiment, I’m learning as I go.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve received mixed feedback about the daily tea articles. Some of you have written to say you love them, that the short reflections feel grounding, comforting, or like a small companion moment in your day.

Others have gently shared that daily emails can feel like a lot, even when the content is meaningful. Inbox overwhelm is real, and I completely understand that.

Both responses make sense. Tea is daily. Emails… maybe don’t have to be.

Part of this project has always been about connection, not just content. I don’t want these tea reflections to feel like one more thing on your to-do list.

So I want to ask you directly: Are you enjoying the daily tea articles? Or would you prefer something like:

• a weekly tea reflection

• a “best of the week” tea roundup

• a monthly tea ritual

• or another format that feels better for you?

This series is about presence — not pressure — and I’d love to shape it in a way that truly supports you.

Writing these daily tea reflections has been unexpectedly meaningful for me. It has slowed my mornings and given structure to reflection and, perhaps most importantly, it has reminded me that small rituals become anchors.

Even if the format shifts, the tea journey itself will continue. Because the tea is not the project, the relationship with the moment is.

Your Voice Matters Here

If you’d like to share, I would love to hear from you. You can simply reply and tell me:

• “Daily is great.”

• “Weekly would be better.”

• “I read them sometimes.”

• “I love the stories.”

• “I want fewer emails but still the tea.”

• Or anything else you’d like to share.

There’s no right answer — just what feels right for you.

As the cup empties, the tea seems to say: “Connection matters more than frequency.”

Here’s to listening, adjusting, and steeping this journey together.
