Where the Truth Settles…

“I Needed That Tea” is a deeply personal Substack newsletter by writer and filmmaker Tea Colón (she/they), born from the necessity to process, feel, and alchemize life through language. Rooted in Brooklyn but spanning far beyond place, this publication is where emotion meets clarity—where the rawness of experience transforms into reflection.

Through a blend of personal essays, inner revelations, and honest storytelling, Tea uses writing as a spiritual and emotional tool—a form of self-rescue and integration. Each piece peels back the layers beneath identity, heartbreak, queerness, memory, and survival. This isn’t just writing; it’s Tea’s way of metabolizing grief, joy, and the in-between.

“I Needed That Tea” invites readers into the sacred act of witnessing—not just Tea’s experiences, but their own. For anyone who’s ever needed words to make sense of what they couldn’t yet say aloud, this is your cup.
