Herbal Tea Workshop

Activity description

To provide students with an opportunity to relax and unwind amidst their busy school lives, while encouraging them to express appreciation and care for the people around them, the Wellness Club organized a Herbal Tea Workshop. Combining tea blending, tea tasting, and card-writing, the activity offered students a meaningful and enjoyable space to practice self-care and strengthen connections with others.

By creating their own personalized tea bags, students not only enjoyed the creative process but also learned about different herbal tea ingredients and their soothing properties, exploring simple ways to support their well-being in everyday life.

Activity highlight

The activity began with a tea tasting session. Prior to the event, the committee members carefully experimented with and prepared four different herbal tea blends. During the workshop, students were invited to sample each blend and learn about its unique flavours and characteristics. Based on their preferences, students then selected ingredients and created their own personalised tea bags.

With guidance and support from the committee members, students chose their ingredients, designed their tea blends, and packaged their creations. Some students crafted tea bags based on their favorite flavors, while others prepared them as gifts for family members and friends, hoping to share a small gesture of care and appreciation.

Students selected their preferred ingredients and flavors to create their own one-of-a-kind herbal tea bags.

In addition, the committee members designed seven themed cards covering topics such as family, gratitude, and self-care. Students were encouraged to write messages of encouragement or wishes. These cards could be gifted together with the tea bags or written for themselves as a reminder to slow down, rest, and take care of their own well-being.

Throughout the workshop, students exchanged ideas about tea combinations and shared stories about the people they wished to thank or encourage. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, filled with meaningful conversations and creativity. The tea bags served as thoughtful gifts carrying messages of care, support, and connection.

Purpose behind this activity

Through the herbal tea workshop, club committees hoped to show their peers that caring for mental well-being can start with small daily habits—like slowing down to enjoy a cup of tea, expressing gratitude to those around them, or taking a moment to rest and show themselves some love.

The club also hopes students will carry the warmth and thoughtfulness from this event into their everyday campus lives, learning to care for themselves and others while building a more supportive and compassionate school community together.
