Tea to Help You Take Care of... YOU!

by Abby C. on July 25, 2021

The key to appreciating oneself is self-care. You need to get to know yourself and spend time with yourself to achieve that state of appreciation for yourself. Self-care comes in a vast variety of forms, from journaling to physical exercise, they are actions that nurture your mind, body, and soul. Self-care is not an act of selfishness, it is the practice of nourishing yourself from within to flourish in the outside world.

This is the philosophy behind what made Mi-Jae Kim, the CEO of TEA Collective, create her company. Kim, who is also the head of the design firm, Artment.dep., has created some of Korea’s most beloved spaces. Through her experiences in Japan and Britain, she understood the power of tea and wanted to incorporate Korean tea with the concept of space. She made it her mission to create a space where people can breathe and take some time out of their busy lives.

TEA Collective understands the difficulties of the people living in the modern world. They understand that the busy, individualistic world that we live in is overwhelming and hectic. We need time to recharge and take time for ourselves. Using tea as a medium, TEA Collective aims to provide moments of rest to help care for oneself.

Available in seven different types of high-quality tea, TEA Collective provides nourishment to the soul with each cup. Based on where you need healing, TEA Collective has the perfect tea waiting for you!

Did you find the tea to accompany you on your next self-care session?

In addition to tea, aromatherapy is a beloved method of self-care. According to scientific research, when inhaled, molecules of certain scents travel to the brain and affect the emotional center of the brain. This means that certain smells can have an effect on the way that we feel and alleviate conditions like depression, insomnia, and anxiety.

TEA Collective and MAISON DE THE has done a collaboration to bring you a calming, earthy scent of flowers and plants to help you feel like you are in a peaceful meadow. Try spritzing the room with the Soil to Soil fragrance just before enjoying your cup of tea. This long-lasting scent will turn your room into a safe space just for you.

In the fast-paced modern world, self-care has become more crucial than ever. Take some time out to spend time with yourself and a nice cup of tea to cultivate your inner beau-tea (get it?). You cannot pour from an empty cup. Fill your own cup with love, the rest of the world can wait. You deserve it.

Inner beauty is the beauty that comes from the person’s characteristics. It is something that you cannot see, but only feel with your heart and soul. Being beautiful on the outside can be important, but being beautiful on the inside is the key to appreciating yourself and the world. You cannot get to the point of appreciating others without appreciating and feeling good about yourself. (You know, “As within so without, as above so below”?)
