Slow things down with a tea blending and candle making workshop in Chicago, Illinois, a hands-on wellness experience designed to engage the senses and bring a little balance back into the day. Start by exploring aromatherapy scents to create a personalized fragrance, then pour a 6oz custom candle infused with your blend. From there, head to the tea bar to craft a loose-leaf tea mix using herbs and botanicals chosen to support relaxation, energy, or focus.

This Chicago DIY workshop blends creativity with self-care, offering a guided yet relaxed environment to experiment with scent and flavor. Learn how different ingredients and fragrance notes can influence mood while building something entirely your own. Whether it’s a solo reset, a thoughtful date, or a group outing, the experience leaves you with custom creations and a calm, grounded feeling that lasts well beyond the session.
