Word Count Blend

The black tea that powers your most productive writing sessions.

Every writer has a daily word count goal. Some aim for 500 words. Some chase 2,000. And some — fueled by ambition, caffeine, and a deadline that is closer than they would like to admit — push well past that. Whatever your number, Word Count is the tea that helps you hit it.

Bestselling author Karina Halle designed Word Count as the ultimate productivity companion. As someone who has written dozens of bestselling novels, Karina knows that consistent output requires consistent energy — not the jittery spike-and-crash of coffee, but a smooth, sustained lift that carries you from the first paragraph to the last. Word Count is her secret weapon for those marathon writing days when the story is flowing and stopping is simply not an option.

This cream vanilla black tea delivers a bold, satisfying flavour with a smooth vanilla finish and a beautifully floral character that makes every sip feel like a small reward. The robust black tea base provides a generous caffeine boost that sharpens your focus and sustains your energy, while calendula, jasmine, marigold, and sunflower petals add a delicate elegance that elevates the blend beyond a simple cup of tea. It is indulgent enough to feel like a treat, but purposeful enough to keep you in the chair, writing.

Each pouch contains 20 plant-based woven pyramid sachets, crafted from compostable PLA material sourced from corn, sugarcane, and cassava. The pyramid shape gives the tea leaves and petals room to expand fully, delivering the bold, full-bodied cup that a serious writing session demands.

Word Count is perfect for those mornings when you sit down determined to make progress, for the afternoon push when your energy dips, and for those late-night sessions when the muse has finally shown up and you are not about to let her leave. Brew a cup. Set your timer. Start typing.

Perfect for: Daily writing sessions, productivity-focused mornings, NaNoWriMo sprints, gifting to writers, students, and anyone who runs on words and tea.
