Some baths begin with a fizz. Others unfold slowly, as delicate botanicals steep in warm water.
A bath tea invites you into the second kind: an unhurried moment of warmth, texture and scent. At LUMA, it is a way to turn an everyday bath into something you look forward to — a little softness at the end of the day.
What Is a Bath Tea?
A bath tea is a blend of bathing ingredients that infuse warm water, much like tea steeping in a cup. Depending on the formula, it may include dried flowers, herbs, salts, oats or coconut milk. It is made for bathing, not drinking.
Held in a sachet, the blend slowly meets the water, revealing its own sensory character. The pleasure is in the pause: watching the infusion unfold, noticing the aroma and letting your evening move a little more slowly.
LUMA’s botanical bath teas are handcrafted in Lebanon, with three signature blends created for distinct bathing rituals.
Bath Tea vs Bath Bomb: What’s the Difference?
The main difference is how they meet the water. A bath tea steeps, usually inside a sachet. A bath bomb dissolves with a fizz, typically created by baking soda and citric acid reacting in water.
Bath bombs can bring a playful sense of movement to the tub. Bath teas offer a quieter experience, centred on an infusion of bathing ingredients. Neither is universally better; the right choice depends on the formula and the kind of bath you enjoy.
Ingredients vary in both formats. Check the full ingredient list and choose a blend that suits your preferences and any known sensitivities.
Why Choose a Botanical Bath Tea?
Perhaps you love the sight of dried petals, the feel of a linen sachet or the simple act of letting something steep. A bath tea makes those small details part of the ritual.
There is no need for an elaborate occasion. Just warm water, your chosen blend and a little time that belongs to you.

How to Use a Bath Tea
Begin with the directions on your blend’s packaging for the amount to use and how to prepare your sachet. Run a warm bath, let the blend infuse as directed and take a moment to notice the water, the aroma and the quiet around you.
A sachet helps contain loose botanicals, though some residue may remain. Follow the packaging guidance for bathing and aftercare, then rinse your tub as needed.
Let the Softness Linger
Keep The Embrace Robe nearby for the moment you step out. Wrap yourself in soft cotton and let the pause last a little longer.
Explore LUMA’s botanical bath teas and find your own way into quiet luxury. Not a better bath than someone else’s — simply a ritual that feels like yours.
