We are a generation of builders. We’re securing the bag, scaling our brands, and showing up for our community. But that relentless drive often means we’re running on fumes, pushing through PMS, and treating our bodies as an afterthought.
What if the answer to burnout wasn’t just more hustle, but more alignment?
This is the mission of Fior Mtu, the all-around creative and founder of sTEAped Blends. She’s merging her passion for tea and hormonal health to help Black women get back in flow with their bodies, one sip at a time.
For Fior Mtu (or “Fi”), creativity isn’t just one thing—it’s everything. From music and film to crafting and authorship, her artistry is, as she says, “as layered as the tea I brew.” That lifelong passion, which started with her cutting open tea bags as a kid to remix flavors, has evolved into sTEAped Blends—a brand built on ritual, restoration, and soulwork.
But this isn’t just about a cozy cup. This is about aligning our daily rhythms with our natural cycles.
“Through years of healing and study, I’ve learned how to sync my tea blends and daily rhythms to my hormonal phases that work for me,” Fi shares. “Every part of my cycle…menstrual, follicular, ovulation, luteal…has a vibe, an energy, and a tea to match.”
This is the kind of intentional living we love to see. It’s a direct response to the “grind culture” that tells us to ignore our bodies and our hormonal health. Fi’s approach is about finding power in every phase, crafting blends that “soothe cramps, amplify creativity, spark connection, or ease PMS.”
Now, she’s making this knowledge accessible to all of us. Fi has just released her new ebook, Flowstate: A Tea Ritual Guide for Every Phase of Your Cycle.
This guide is for the woman who is ready to stop fighting her body and start working with it. It merges her two passions, tea and hormonal health, into a practical guide for intentional living.
“I believe healing is a ritual, and I honor my body in every phase,” Fi says.
We’ll sip to that.
You can grab your copy of the Flowstate ebook on Gumroad and explore her intentional concoctions at the sTEAped Blends shop.
