Amazingly, a calming chamomile for restless nights, a bold black tea shared during a heart-to-heart, or a mint infusion sipped on a summer afternoon.

By saving these little slips of paper, you weave together a diary that feels both personal and universal.

The pages bloom with colors, brands, and memories, and suddenly a simple notebook turns into a gallery of comfort, warmth, and daily ritual.

Materials Needed

• 1 sturdy notebook or scrapbook (A5 or A4 works best)
• 20-50 tea bag tags to start
• Glue stick or double-sided tape
• Optional: colored pens or markers
• Optional: washi tape

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Each time you enjoy a cup of tea, carefully remove the tag before discarding the bag. Then flatten it out if it’s wrinkled.

Step 2: Let the tag dry fully if it’s damp. A quick press under a book keeps it neat.

Step 3: Open your notebook and start arranging the tags. You can sort them by brand, color, or even by season.

Step 4: Glue each tag securely onto the page. If you want a scrapbook look, use washi tape to hold them in place instead.

Step 5: Add little notes beside the tags. Now now write down when or where you drank that tea, who you shared it with, or how it made you feel.

Step 6: Keep adding new tags over time. Before long, you’ll have a living timeline of your tea journey, rich with both flavors and memories.

Tips:

If you try international teas, this project becomes even more exciting, your notebook turns into a map of tea culture around the world.
