🌿The Story Behind NovelTeas

Hey Guys,

Welcome to The NovelTeas Journal—my little corner of the internet where stories, creativity, and connection come together. I’m Jesi, a Canadian momma of two amazing kids and a lifelong book lover who’s been shaped by the beautiful blend of my Indigenous background and my love for art, culture, and storytelling.

Books have always been my escape, my comfort, and my way of understanding the world, and if you're here reading this, then you are probably the same way. 😝 I’ve always been drawn to the literary and the arts—the kind of worlds that make you feel deeply and think differently.

I hold a degree in psychology, which has given me a deep appreciation for human emotion and the ways stories can heal, inspire, and connect us. But my heart has always longed for something more creative—to live fully within the world of books, writing, and imagination. My dream is to one day make this passion my full-time reality: to write, create, and share stories that comfort and inspire others, just like they’ve done for me!

When I’m not reading or creating for NovelTeas, I’m... okay fine, still reading—probably with a snack in hand and a kid asking for one too. 😂 Between juggling two kids, two fur babies, and my camera obsession, I love exploring trails, finding new places, and pretending I’m in a nature documentary. It’s those small, joy-filled moments—the laughter, the chaos, the coziness—that spark so much of my inspiration.

NovelTeas was born out of that love—for stories, for slow living, and for the magic that comes from pairing books with comfort and creativity. My hope is that this journal becomes a space where I can share not only shop updates but also reflections on reading, art, culture, and the beautiful little things that make life meaningful.

So, grab a warm drink, settle in, and stay a while. I’m so glad you’re here. 💫
