you're after.

“I created Twinkies Intentional Teas because I believe we deserve a slower, softer way to come back to ourselves.”
Twinkie
Founder, Twinkies Intentional Teas
This brand was built with intention — to help us slow down, realign, and tend to our mental and physical health one cup at a time. Life keeps us busy: bills, work, deadlines, and the endless to-do list. It’s easy to give ourselves the very last minutes of the day.
But what if we gave ourselves the first fifteen minutes? Fifteen minutes to steep something beautiful, breathe a little deeper, and set an intention before the world asks for anything. That quiet pause is where the healing begins.
Every blend you build here is more than tea — it’s a ritual, a reminder, and a small act of self-love. Welcome to the Twinkies Kitchen.

About the blends
A little more on how the Twinkies Kitchen chooses, sources, and shares each ingredient.
Where do the ingredients come from?
Every base and botanical is chosen for quality, tradition, and care. We source organic and small-batch herbs whenever possible — from calming chamomile and cooling peppermint to warming cinnamon, clove, and bay leaf. Each ingredient carries a story of soil, climate, and the hands that cultivated it.
How do free and premium ingredients work?
The free tier gives you five foundational botanicals — chamomile, peppermint, lavender, ginger, and rose petals — plus full physical-benefit notes. Premium unlocks twenty-plus specialty herbs, roots, and florals (cinnamon, vanilla, cardamom, hibiscus, and more) along with chakra mapping, spiritual properties, and downloadable ritual affirmation cards.
Why does each herb support intention?
Every plant has both a body and an energy. Chamomile softens the nervous system and the heart. Ginger stokes inner fire and confidence. Lavender clears the mind and opens the crown. We pair these physical properties with energetic qualities so your blend becomes a small daily anchor for how you want to feel.
Can I save and change my blends?
Yes. Create a free account to save blends to your personal dashboard. Premium subscribers can build, save, and revisit unlimited blends and unlock exclusive seasonal tea-pairing content.
Are these blends safe to drink?
Our blends are designed for everyday enjoyment, but everyone’s body is different. If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or managing a health condition, please check with a healthcare provider before enjoying a new herb.
What makes a tea 'intentional'?
Intentional tea is tea with a pause attached. It’s choosing a blend not just for flavor, but for the feeling you want to carry into your day. That act of choosing, steeping, and sipping is the ritual — and the ritual is where the alignment begins.
