At Steep Bean, we believe a great cup of coffee or tea isn’t just about flavor — it’s about connection, craft, and the quiet joy found in small rituals.
If you love the world of brewing, from the earthy aroma of roasted beans to the meditative swirl of steeping leaves, we’d love to feature your voice on our blog.
We welcome contributors who share our curiosity about coffee and tea culture — from home brewers and baristas to café owners, tea sommeliers, and storytellers with something meaningful to say.
What You Can Write About
We’re open to a wide range of topics, as long as they add value, authenticity, and flavor to our readers’ experience. Some ideas include:
- Brewing techniques and guides (espresso, pour-over, French press, cold brew, matcha, etc.)
- Tea and coffee origins — stories behind regions, farmers, and traditions
- Café culture, travel experiences, or interviews with passionate makers
- Drink recipes and creative infusions
- Reviews of brewing tools, beans, teas, or accessories
- Wellness and lifestyle stories connected to mindful drinking
- Reflections on slow living, morning rituals, or creative work over coffee and tea

Our Editorial Approach
We value writing that feels thoughtful, honest, and grounded in real experience. Articles typically range from 800–1,500 words, depending on topic depth. We encourage clear structure with headings and natural flow — as if you’re having a calm, engaging conversation with a fellow enthusiast.
All submissions must be original, unpublished elsewhere, and accompanied by proper attributions for quotes, images, or data.
After You Submit
Our editorial team will review your submission and respond within 7–10 business days. If your article is accepted, we’ll collaborate on final edits and schedule a publication date. Each published piece includes your author bio and backlinks to your site or social channels.
Thank you for considering Steep Bean as a home for your words. We’re excited to share stories that remind readers to slow down, sip mindfully, and appreciate the art that lives inside every cup.
Warm regards,
Jennifer J. Allen
