About

Tanya Diantha Mote, Founder

Welcome to Sparkle Tea.

There is a unique spark within each of us. A sparkle that is only ours to share with the world. Ideas that just you are meant to create, art, inventions, cures, and community solutions. At times it is easy to shine brightly, success and motivation flow with ease. Other times it is more challenging and we need reminders, coaches, and community to share life or work that feels hard. In joy and growth edges, we are here, in community with you.

Tanya Diantha Mote has been writing all of her life. With seasons of wild growth and production, seasons of drought, and seasons of rebirth. As a solo parent of three children with so much to say and do in this world, she just needed to write. She processed grief and transitions, also joy and renewal. 

Tanya started writing with a hope that others might find peace or strength through words she just had to express. Through losing her mother and other life challenges, she wrote. Through joys, love, growth and success, she wrote. Here are a few of the words she finds special and wants to share with you. In hopes that you too, remember who you are and share your gifts with the world.

Tanya’s middle name is Diantha, which means “divine love”. That is who she aims to be in the world. She lives in Olympia, Washington and is a mother of three teens who inspire her daily. They are the reason she strives to make the world a healthy, inclusive, inspired community for all. She seeks to inspire resilience in others through creating powerful practices for the journey of life.
