“A steaming cup of artisanal tea has the power to soothe our minds or wake us up, satisfy our souls and blanket that inner chill. Heralded for healing properties, tea should be a regular part of a healthy lifestyle. But when work and travel stand between you and a hot cup of osmanthus oolong, take comfort in our plush silk pillows, stuffed with genuine, aromatic whole-leaf tea.”
Tea GW has a great selection of tea pillows that need to be noticed more. I have their Jasmine Tea travel size pillow which is a white silk pillow that is printed with bold Chinese characters. It is filled with jasmine tea, the flowers of which are well known for healing powers and an intoxicating scent. The moment I opened the package I could instantly smell the aroma of the beautiful jasmine tea leaves. The packaging that is accompanied by the pillow is also stunning.
You may be asking yourself what exactly is a tea pillow and what is it used for? Tea pillows are an ancient Chinese tradition. It is believed that through the tea’s natural aroma and its beneficent qualities, the tea pillow gifts the sleeper with a grounding of one’s spirit for a restful sleep, an aid to boosting the immune system, opening of the sinuses, relieving overall tension and prevents cold and/or flu.

I most recently had my tea pillow accompany me during a matcha session. I found it to be another relaxing moment sipping my freshly whisked Midori Matcha while being against my pillow. It kind of felt like a whole new floral matcha with the jasmine aroma surrounding the area. It’s probably best described as a mini meditation session where I felt more grounded and just enjoyed the tea I was indulging in physically and emotionally.
“The better the quality of the tea used in the pillow the better the results!”
When choosing a tea pillow for yourself it is important to keep in mind the quality of the tea and materials the company uses. Healthy quality of fabric is the safes route and organic tea is the best route to go as you will not want the tea’s aroma to be artificially enhanced as this could deter the health benefits.
Tea GW’s pillows are ones that I recommend as I have been very satisfied with mine and noticed an increase of restful sleep. Tea GW offers their pillows in various sizes. The travel size is the smallest but the most perfect for taking on your plane or car ride journey has it fits on the headrests. Other available sizes are the bolster style and lounge style.
These sound interesting! I wouldn't mind sleeping on a pillow of tea and get more restful sleep 🙂
