Tencha Tea

By Cindy Collins

Tencha Tea is a deeply personal journey through the bittersweet blend of life's darkest and brightest moments- captured in poetry that speaks directly to the heart.

Divided into two powerful halves, Bitter and Sweet, this collection embraces the full spectrum of human emotion. The first half, Bitter, is full of poetry relating to grief, sadness, loss, and even controversial topics, including sexual assault. (For some poems, reader discretion is advised.)
It invites readers to sit with their pain, rather than run from it.
Then, just when you think you've read enough melancholic poems, Sweet is filled with hopeful poetry celebrating joy, healing, love, and the beauty you can find in everyday moments.
Tencha Tea isn't just a poetry collection, it is a paperback companion for anyone who knows what it's like to feel everything deeply. It's for those who know that life is never just bitter or just sweet, but a mix of both, and that's what makes it so beautiful.

Reading this book feels like sharing a conversation with a friend who understands your pain and trauma, and reminds you that happiness is always possible, even when it seems it's not.

If you're ready to embrace the messy yet beautiful human experience, to acknowledge sadness and celebrate hope, then this is the book you need right now.

Pour yourself a cup, turn the page, and let these poems remind you that every feeling has a place.
