Tsaá with Roma
Poems & stories best shared over tea
Tsaá with Roma is about gathering—much like a conversation over tea: slow, thoughtful, and healing.
What began as an interview series with poets soon grew into a platform for generative online poetry workshops. Here, we nurture creative connection, support, and learning for all.

A monthly online writing circle created and hosted by Romalyn Ante to support and nurture emerging East and Southeast Asian (ESEA) writers. Rooted in the belief that storytelling can foster connection, healing, and cultural visibility, the circle offers a gentle and supportive space for writers in the ESEA diaspora to develop their creative practice together.
Offered freely as a community initiative, the circle reflects Romalyn’s ongoing commitment to championing underrepresented voices and building meaningful literary spaces.
