For floral lovers, I’ll share with you an awesome potpourri blend made with tea! Potpourri made with tea is a simple way to add the essence of tea into your home. It leaves your space with a fresh and clean scent that exudes relaxation and calmness.
I used Tiesta Tea due to its gorgeous airy floral scent. I also take advantage of chamomile and lavender whenever possible. They create such a mellow calmness that I can’t seem to get enough of.
I strengthened the scent with ginger and peppermint essential oils. Below is a list of essential oil scents that work beautifully in potpourris:
- Rose
- Ginger
- Lemongrass
- Peppermint
- Jasmine
- Eucalyptus
- Frankincense
- Lavender
- Lemon
There are also other great tea options to consider for potpourri, such as:
- Chai
- Rose
- Elderflower
- Turmeric
- Ginger
- Jasmine
- Orange
- Peppermint
- Lemon Balm
- Chamomile
