Warm drinks. Quieter days.

The rain is tapping at the glass. A neighbour has come in from the cold. There is time for one good cup of tea.

Tea by the Window is a cozy tea-blending puzzle set in Willowbrook. Read each visitor’s note, choose a tea, an herb and a finishing touch, and find the warmth, sweetness and freshness they are hoping for.

Rain outside. Something good inside.

Twelve cups, two lovely evenings

  • Twelve visitor requests with little stories and recipes to discover.
  • A tea shelf of black tea, rooibos, green tea, herbs and comforting finishes.
  • A second evening with Bright, Round and Deep steeps that change your blend.
  • A recipe book to fill, familiar faces to meet again and a quiet ending.
  • Illustrated paper notes, a steaming cup and rain against a warm window.

Make something just right

Read the note, then choose one ingredient from each shelf. Their flavour points add together: match warmth, sweetness and freshness, along with any ingredient wishes. In the second evening, choose a steep too. Brew when you are ready. A near miss brings a gentle tasting hint, and you can try another cup.

No service timer. No impatient queue. Just a small puzzle and a neighbour who is glad to be here.
