Tea with Lei

Hi, I’m Lei.

If we were meeting in real life, this is the part where I’d put the kettle on, clear a space at the kitchen table, and ask how you take your tea.

​

Because that’s how I’ve always preferred conversations — slow, warm, and unhurried.

​

For a long time, I tried to fit myself into boxes that never quite felt right.

​

Busy boxes.
Productive boxes.
“Be more practical” boxes.

​

But underneath all of that, I’ve always been the same person.

​

The one who notices the light through the window.
Who finds peace near the ocean.
Who stitches in the evenings.
Who writes to make sense of the day.
Who believes small, quiet moments are often the most important ones.

​

Tea with Lei grew from that place.

​

Not as a business plan or a strategy.

​

Just a gentle desire to share life as it really is —
the ordinary, the reflective, the messy, the beautiful.

​

This isn’t a space for fixing yourself.

​

It’s a space for coming home to yourself.

​

You won’t find five-step plans or perfect routines here.

​

Instead, you’ll find:

​

morning thoughts
coastal walks
handmade things
soft living
lessons learned the slow way
and little reminders that you’re allowed to move through life at your own pace

​

I don’t have all the answers.

​

I’m simply walking my own path — learning to live more calmly, more intentionally, more truthfully — and writing about what I notice along the way.

​

If any of it feels familiar to you, then you’re already exactly where you’re meant to be.

​

So stay a while.

Read something slowly.

​

Make a cup of tea.

​

You’re always welcome here.

— Lei 🤍
