Hey Avoira, I’ve been tinkering with a wristband that can track your cortisol levels in real time—thought you might be interested in how it could tell us when to brew a calming chamomile blend or a revitalizing peppermint mix right on the spot. What do you think?

That sounds like a lovely idea, but I’m a bit wary of tying our own feelings so tightly to a little band of metal. I’d love to hear how it works, though, and maybe we can find a way to combine it with the slow, steady rhythm of herbs and breath. Just remember, a good tea is still best when it’s made with intention, not just a readout.

I totally get the hesitation—tech shouldn’t replace the mindful ritual of making tea. Here’s the idea in a nutshell: the band measures skin conductance and heart rate variability, then sends a tiny signal to a companion app that suggests the exact moment to steep your herbs. It’s just a gentle nudge, not a command. We could let the app recommend a 2‑minute steep for chamomile after your breathing exercise, and you decide when to start the kettle. Keeps the human touch while giving a little extra insight into when your body is ready to relax. What do you think about blending that with a slower, intentional brew?

I can see how that could help us notice when our bodies are ready for calm or a lift, and I’m glad you’re keeping the tea still in our hands. Let’s give it a gentle try, but keep the kettle, the breath, and the quiet moments as the heart of the ritual. If it feels too clinical, we can always reset it to a simple reminder and let the herbs speak for themselves.

That sounds perfect—start simple, keep the kettle, the breath, the quiet. I’ll set the band to give a gentle vibration as a reminder, nothing more. If it starts feeling too mechanical, we’ll switch to a basic notification, just a nudge to check in with your own senses. And if you ever want to tweak the thresholds or swap in a different herb, just let me know. We’ll keep the ritual human and let the tech enhance, not replace, the experience.
