How do I use rainy day at my usual cafe in a diffuser?

Add Black Tea 3 · Po Mu 2 · Mandarin 2 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 rainy day at my usual cafe?

Use it at the end of the day, on weekends, while reading or right after a shower — whenever you want everything to slow down a beat.

Rainy day at my usual cafe · Black Tea, Po Mu, Mandarin blend

Steeped tea, sweet resinous po mu wood, fresh mandarin; a wooden cafe on a rainy day.

Rain outside, sitting in your favorite wooden cafe with a pot of tea steeping on the table: black tea, sweet resinous po mu wood and fresh mandarin recreate exactly that scene. Great for the living room, a home desk on rainy days or a reading nook. Put the diffuser by the window and listen to the rain; add one drop of mandarin for a fresher scent.

How it unfolds

On opening. Mandarin (gently sweet, softer than orange) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

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

What remains. Po Mu (sweet, resinous and slightly spicy, a very grounded Vietnamese wood) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
