Welcome to Geek+Tea—where retro sci-fi imagination brews with botanical wonder.

What began as a kitchen-table experiment in blending loose-leaf teas with a dash of geek culture has grown into something bigger, stranger, and more wonderful. Today, Geek+Tea is a creative studio and shop for retro sci-fi botanical art — linocuts, digital illustrations, zines, and oddities that celebrate plants with a twist of the surreal.

My work is inspired by 1950s pulp sci-fi aesthetics, golden-age movie posters, and the quiet, weird beauty of the natural world. Expect bold textures, halftone shadows, tongue-in-cheek humor, and a touch of the macabre. Plants might sprout starships, gnomes might guard carnivorous collections, and even the humble algae gets its turn in the spotlight

Geek+Tea is for anyone who finds joy in the strange intersection of science, art, and imagination — so keep calm, put the kettle on, and step into the weird and wonderful.
