Perfect Gifts for a Tea Lover
For me, tea is a liquid comfort in a cup that warms you from the inside out. Many cultures have woven the flavors of their country into the complex tea profiles they produce. From Chai to Blue Jasmine these teas reflect not only tradition but the very rich natural resources of the country itself.
In fact, I can remember sipping English Breakfast out of a dainty hand painted tea cup complete with a floral saucer. Sitting there with my mum I felt warmth, and a sense of elegance that only British royal would feel. Not to mention I felt entirely grown up and sophisticated. As a first time teacher ,I sat in my newly postered classroom awaiting my new students. It was Caramel Nougat that attempted to quiet the butterfly frenzy taking place within. Even still, Lavender Earl Grey has witnessed many days filled with laughter, the kicks of my babies feeling it’s warmth glide over them and those days that hung heavy on me.
Furthermore, tea builds community, the tea bag isn’t the only thing being let of its goodness. A beautiful fusion of cultures and experiences takes place when people slow down while drinking in the moments as they come. Tea beautifully encapsulates these moments allowing one to drink them again and again. Here is the ultimate gift guide for the avid tea lover in your life.
Tea Box
Beyond Your Thoughts Bamboo Tea Box:
This bamboo tea box is by far one of my favorite gifts that my husband has given me. Each has customizable compartments to organize various teas, which cuts down on the cardboard boxes they usually come in. Great for gifting as they can be engraved which is an extra special touch.
Milk Frother
To be honest I had no idea what I was missing out on until my friend Carrie made me a coffee using a milk frother. We had lattes in a matter of moments without leaving the comfort of her kitchen. Tea lattes are just as dreamy and this Secura milk frother does not disappoint, easy and quick to use. You are moments away from self care to the max, so get frothing.
Personal Tea Pot
Sweese Procelain Tea Pot:
Undoubtedly, personal tea pots are an absolute must for the avid tea drinker. Not only do they keep the tea warm but they have a large capacity and create an ideal environment to seep the perfect cup of tea. Tea often gets cold before it reaches its rich maximum flavor. This tea pot prevents that from happening, no one likes bitter, and cold tea.
Tea Assortment
Tea Forte Single Steeps:
When I was a teacher one of my students introduced me to these single steepers. It is such a luxury to sample a variety of unique tea flavors beautifully packaged in this tea chest. My sister Charity is a huge fan of the Ginger Lemongrass, so much so that she said this is the only gift she’ll ever need for Christmas or Birthdays.
Elegant Tea Spoons
Floral Handle Tea Spoon:
Along with a nice tea cup, these floral handle tea spoons add an extra layer of elegance to tea time. I especially like the intricate floral details and the daintiness despite it being constructed of stainless steel spoon.

Blooming tea cups, how could one go wrong? This tea cup and saucer set makes it look as though a flower is blooming within the tea cup itself. Perfect for brunch, or afternoon tea these beauties will add finesse to any gathering.
