How do I use offline for one afternoon in a diffuser?

Add Black Tea 3 · Smilax 2 · Patchouli 1 · Sandalwood 1 drops to 200–300 ml of water. In a room under 15 m², use 1–2 drops less; in a room over 25 m², add 1 more drop of the main oil.

What can I use instead of black tea?

Swap black tea for white tea or green tea — same tea family. The blend will shift a little: white tea is light and clean with a floral whisper.

When is the best time to use offline for one afternoon?

Use it while meditating, doing yoga, journaling, or simply sitting still for 10 minutes without your phone.

Offline for one afternoon · Black Tea, Smilax, Patchouli blend

Black tea with warm earthy root, patchouli and sandalwood; instantly slower.

Going offline for an afternoon: warm black tea with smilax root, earthy patchouli and smooth sandalwood, and everything slows down right away. Great for a reading room, a meditation corner or the porch. Add a few drops to the diffuser, put your phone on airplane mode and do something with your hands: water the plants, write, draw or fold laundry.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Black tea (steeped, warm and slightly malty) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Smilax (warm, earthy and rooty, lightly sweet and rustic); patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet); sandalwood (creamy, smooth and long-lasting) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.
