Ep 1 | Why We Started

Check out our first episode on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts!

If you grew up sipping jasmine tea in an English Breakfast kind of world, you’ve probably wondered: where are all the fellow jasmine tea drinkers at?

You’ve found us.

In our very first episode, we (Vi-An and Amanda) spill on how Spilling the Jasmine Tea came to life — and the perfectionism that almost stopped us from sharing it. From the “98%—where’s the other 2%?” comments we grew up with, to the quiet ways we’ve learned to unlearn, this episode sets the tone for what’s to come: honest, reflective conversations about culture, identity, and what holistic well-being really means for our community.

Together, we unpack:

🍵 The story behind our podcast name

🍵 Why we’re learning to savour the process instead of chasing flawless outcomes

🍵 What we hope this podcast will create for our listeners

So grab your cup (maybe jasmine tea!) and settle in for a heartfelt first brew.
