Tea Zine #1
A downloadable zine about tea
Have you ever wanted to get into drinking tea, but it didn't go so well?
Or maybe you have no idea where to even start?
Or you can't tell your black tea from your green tea, and you feel self-conscious about it?
Or...
No matter the reason, fear not!! In these heartfully-written 12 pages, I will impart upon you all the basics you need to know in order to brew a nice cup of tea.
This is my very first zine ever, so please let me know what you think! Let me know if anything wasn't clear, if it's been helpful at all, and if you've enjoyed a nice cup of tea recently!
Please note that this zine is DIGITAL ONLY for now. You can open it with any piece of software that can open PDFs, such as most modern internet browsers.

I've been a tea fan for many years, and even I learned new things from this zine! So cool. I always thought it was enough to just boil the water, not knowing it could work better if it got hotter! Exciting stuff, I'll try some things out!
Less hot! Less hot than boiling water! I'm sorry if I made this unclear, but the temperatures I gave should be all way below boiling water (which is at 100°C and 212°F afaik). The only time when I recommend boiling the plant is when making tea from plants you've gathered yourself, but that's for another zine.
Oh right it's early and the brain fog, lmao. But yeah, that makes sense and I'll try to be more patient.
I do have a "tea" I make frome licorice and ginger roots for my tummy troubles that has to boil for 5 minutes before the steeping process!
Yes! That's true, there are such cases, usually when involving roots. Also that sounds super yummy!
It is! You add some allspice, mint, and honey too, and it's tasty and it really helps!
I had a cup of tea before reading this zine. Very informative! I love resources that talk about different temperatures for teas and how to drink them (such as with milk or without). I'm definitely a fan of black tea and herbal tea (my cup was herbal tea just now). I love the aesthetic of this zine and it's very easy to read yet fun too - the voice of the zine is lighthearted yet inclusive and informative. I can't wait to see more! I would read a zine on making my own tea from my garden
Oh thank you, thank you so much! I'm glad you had such a lovely experience reading the zine. Lighthearted yet inclusive and informative was exactly what I was going for!
I might actually make a zine on making one's own tea from one's garden, since I do this regularly... and there are quite a few ways you can go from "plant in the ground" to "delicious tea in cup". That's a great idea, thank you!
