Let’s be real: self-care deserves better than a rushed skincare routine or a sad bubble bath. Enter Tea Blend & Sip™ by Itutu—a self-care celebration that centers Black and Brown healing, ancestral wisdom, and community connection. Hosted by Itutu Apothecary & Tea Room and guided by folk herbalist Kia Croom, this isn’t just about sipping tea—it’s about creating sacred space for restoration.

Guests blend their own herbal tea using curated ingredients chosen for their energetic and healing properties, while being immersed in a setting that feels like home.

In the spirit of the Sankofa bird—honoring the past while stepping boldly into the future—Kia invites participants to draw from the folk remedies and healing practices passed down for generations. From bush teas brewed in diasporic homelands to the homemade elixirs Big Mama made when you weren’t feeling well, these rituals weren’t just about wellness—they were acts of love, resistance, and remembering.

These moments invite us to reimagine what it means to care for ourselves and to heal collectively. This is wellness for the culture—intentional, joyful, and unapologetically ours.
