Today’s tea arrived carrying a story.
Not just a flavor, but a lineage—one that traveled across oceans and time before landing gently in my cup. Today I chose Tippy Assam from Whittard, a black tea brought back from England by a dear friend. And somehow, that alone made the experience feel layered with meaning—tea as messenger, tea as bridge, tea as shared memory.

Tippy Assam comes from the Assam region of India, known for its rich soil, humid climate, and powerful monsoon rains. This is a land that produces teas with depth, body, and character—teas that do not rush to introduce themselves. Assam tea is bold yet nuanced, strong yet refined. The “tips” refer to the golden young leaf buds harvested at just the right moment, adding natural sweetness and complexity to the brew.
From the first sip, this tea feels anchoring. If I were to describe it like a fine wine, I might say malty, full-bodied, slightly honeyed, with a grounding richness that settles into the body rather than skating across the surface. It doesn’t sparkle or shout—it resides. This is a tea that knows itself and explains itself to no one.
Physically, Tippy Assam supports sustained energy and focus. It stimulates without agitation, making it an ideal companion for clear thinking, decision-making, and purposeful movement through the day. It supports circulation and digestion while offering a sense of stamina—the kind that carries you through rather than pushes you forward.
Mentally, this tea brings steadiness. It organizes thoughts and grounds mental energy. It feels like sitting at a solid wooden desk, pen in hand, with the perfect notebook at the ready, writing down exactly what needs to be done—without overwhelm or confusion.
Energetically, Tippy Assam works deeply with the root and solar plexus centers, strengthening confidence, presence, and inner authority. It carries the frequency of earned wisdom—experience gathered over time rather than insight delivered in a flash. This is not a tea of beginnings; it is a tea of mastery.
As I drank it, I felt myself slow into my body. My spine straightened. My breath deepened. There was a quiet seriousness to it—not heavy, but dignified. A reminder that presence can be powerful, that calm can carry weight.
And of course, I couldn’t help but think this thought and then ponder this question...
1. Tippy Assam is the best name for a character in a novel and I'm filing this idea away for future works!
2. If Tippy Assam were an astrological sign, who would she be?
Without hesitation—Capricorn.
Grounded. Enduring. Wise. Built for the long game. Capricorn energy doesn’t rush, doesn’t waste motion, and doesn’t need to prove itself. It simply shows up, day after day, carrying responsibility with grace and quiet authority. Tippy Assam shares that same energy—steady, reliable, deeply rooted, and undeniably strong.
This tea reminds us that not all magic is flashy. Some magic is cultivated slowly, through patience, care, and time. And when we sit with something of true depth—whether tea, history, or our inner selves—we remember that richness comes from being fully present with what is. And the understanding that it is what it is...
If you’re sipping a black tea like Tippy today, I invite you to ask:
Where in my life am I being asked to deepen rather than accelerate?
What wisdom is already present, waiting to be acknowledged?
Let the tea hold the answer.
Something I have to mention as well, is how adorable the presentation of the tea is with the Whittard brand. The teas are collected in a box to look like books and of course, there's nothing I love more. Take a peek here:
I love the packaging and colors. The visual presentation sets the tone and intention for the entire experience.
I hope you're enjoying your daily sip. Here’s to today’s cup— to depth, lineage, and the quiet confidence that comes from knowing who you are.
With warmth, presence, and deep intention,
Kala
