Yesterday we talked about tea as culture, ritual, and connection.
Today, we admit the truth.

This t-shirt line is also about coping.

Because if the internet has taught us anything, it’s that everyone is tired, mildly unwell, over-informed, under-rested, and desperately clinging to small comforts. Enter tea. Enter wordplay. Enter graphic tees that quietly scream, “I’m fine, but in a very specific way.”

The follow-up drop leans harder into the unspoken thoughts. The inside jokes. The kind of humor that lives somewhere between self-awareness and emotional damage—but make it aesthetic.

“Sobrietea” hits different on day two. It’s not inspirational. It’s observational. It’s for people who have tried everything else and landed on tea, boundaries, and silence. It’s giving “no thanks, I’ve evolved,” without actually saying that out loud. It’s a shirt that lets strangers project whatever they want onto you while you sip something warm and mind your business.

Then there’s “Unitea,” which looks wholesome until you remember how online unity usually goes. Still, the message stands—tea somehow manages to bring people together when nothing else works. Group chats explode. Timelines burn. Kettles boil. Everyone agrees tea is fine. Temporary peace achieved.

Across the collection, the tea types start feeling less like beverages and more like personality disorders:

Green tea is wellness culture with a superiority complex.
Black tea is blunt, tired, and has no patience left.
Herbal tea is mysterious, possibly lying, and definitely Googled your symptoms.
Chai is overstimulating, loud, layered, and refuses to be ignored.

If you see yourself in any of that… yeah. Same.

This line isn’t trying to be loud streetwear or fake-deep fashion. It’s for people who communicate in memes, understand irony as a survival skill, and appreciate humor that doesn’t explain itself. The designs stay clean so the joke can land quietly—like the best tweets. If you get it, you get it. If you don’t, that’s fine too. Tea will still be there.

Consider these shirts wearable commentary. Not optimistic. Not nihilistic. Just extremely aware. They’re meant for cafés, late nights, soft launches, hard truths, and scrolling breaks that last longer than intended.

Yesterday was the introduction.
Today is the subtext.

Because tea isn’t just tea.
It’s a pause button.
It’s a coping mechanism.
It’s a punchline.

And sometimes, a really good pun is the closest thing we have to peace.
