As the founder of Domo Tea, I've learned the importance of mindfulness not only in my business but also in my daily routine. I’ve spent years building Domo Tea, which started from my love of tea and its ability to transform simple moments into meaningful experiences. Today, I see those moments as anchors in my day, giving me something to look forward to, while centering me in the midst of a busy life. My mornings always begin with pure matcha. There’s something about the vibrancy of the green powder whisking into a smooth, frothy drink that sets the tone for the day. Matcha has been part of my routine since I started experimenting with tea latte blends, and it's become my personal ritual. The slow preparation, the focus it requires, and the energy it gives me feel like a gentle, purposeful start.
By mid-afternoon, when the workday is in full swing—whether I'm planning Domo’s next campaign or developing new tea blends—I take a break with either a London Fog or chai. This break isn’t just about the caffeine boost; it’s about creating a pause, a moment to gather myself before the second half of the day. The warming spice of chai or the comforting notes of a London Fog are like a mini reset, helping me refocus on the tasks ahead. It’s a reminder that, no matter how busy things get, I always have this little ritual to lean on.
At the end of the day, after the bustle of managing a business and spending time with my family, my bedtime routine is all about winding down. I look forward to my Sweet Dreams tea—a calming blend that helps signal to my body it’s time to rest. There’s something special about ending the day with a cup of tea, knowing I’ve completed what I could and tomorrow will bring new opportunities. It’s a small but powerful routine that closes the day on a peaceful note.
For me, these daily tea rituals are more than just about enjoying a drink. They represent moments of mindfulness, pockets of calm where I can simply be in the moment. Running Domo Tea is a joy and a challenge, but these rituals keep me grounded. Whether it’s the first sip of matcha in the morning or the soothing comfort of my nighttime tea, I always have something to look forward to—something that enriches my day. Every cup is a reminder that self-care is woven into the fabric of my business, and I’m grateful for these rituals that not only fuel my creativity but keep me connected to what I love most about tea.
