"Tea...became more than a form of drinking... it is a religion of the art of life." Kakuzo Okakura

Oolong is jazz!

I used to think oolong was just black tea that got lost.

It turns out… it’s more like the jazz of tea.

Oolong isn’t one thing — it lives somewhere between green and black tea, and no two are the same.

Some are light and floral. Some are roasty and dark. They’re oxidized in different ways, rolled differently, fired differently.

And that complexity? That’s what makes them incredible.

I’ve been drinking Oriental Beauty lately and it’s like no other tea I’ve had.

If tea had a middle path, oolong would be it.

Apparently it’s National Donut Day.

So naturally, I made tea.

There’s something kind of perfect about pairing a hot cup of tea with something sweet. Like grounding chaos with calm.

Today it was a donut. Tomorrow it might be leftover cake. The tea stays constant.

I had Keemun with mine this morning. Felt like a treat without the crash.

What’s your go-to tea and treat combo?

I didn’t grow up drinking tea. I didn’t study it. I didn’t plan on starting a tea company.

I just got curious.

I wanted something that made me feel good in the mornings — something better than the coffee crash. So I tried tea. And then I kept trying. And then… I fell in love with it.

I’m not a tea expert. I don’t use the right terms. But I care a lot. I’m learning as I go. And if you’re curious about tea, I made this company — Relic Teas — for you.

Welcome to the journey.
