About Etsy Tea

Real Talk for Real Sellers.

This space was brewed with love, clarity, and maybe a little rebellion.

Because let’s be honest — growing a creative business on Etsy can be beautiful… and brutal. One minute you’re celebrating a sale, the next you’re wondering if the algorithm ghosted you. And the advice? Endless. Conflicting. Often written by people who aren’t even in it anymore – or ever really were.

Etsy Tea is here to cut through the noise.

This is:

  • Honest insight from someone who’s been on Etsy for over a decade
  • Visibility tips that don’t require burnout
  • Behind-the-scenes truths about what’s really going on
  • A quiet revolution against hustle culture and shame-based selling

Whether you’re just starting out or thinking of walking away — this space is for you.
No games. No gimmicks. Just support that feels human, creative, and possible again.

Etsy is an incredible launchpad. It’s brought millions of creators to market, helped small businesses find global audiences, and continues to offer tools that can genuinely make a difference. There’s power in that — especially when we approach the platform with clear eyes and grounded expectations.
But like any platform, it has limits — and when we expect it to do everything, we miss the opportunity to reclaim what’s ours: our audience, our voice, our rhythm, our own power.


Who’s Behind the Tea?

I’m Clarissa — long-time Etsy seller, creator of popAllure TV, and someone who knows what it’s like to feel invisible even when you’re doing everything “right.” I’ve been in the forums, on the rollercoaster, and in the trenches.

And I’ve seen what happens when we stop waiting for visibility and start creating it.

Etsy Tea was born from that realization — and from a desire to bring sellers together in a space that sees them.
