The 2022 holiday season is underway, which means it’s time to start brewing up gifts for the tea lovers in your life!
People who love tea are fun to buy gifts for. They will always be happy to receive a diverse new flavor they’ve never tried before or even an old favorite they can never get enough of.
And of course, no one’s tea cabinet is complete without the accompanying accoutrements like infusers, spoons, mugs, cups, teapots, and tea caddies.
As you shop for the holidays this year, just remember that for tea lovers, it’s not just about the beverage, it’s about the ritual. Speaking on behalf of people for whom tea drinking is a special event, all we want to do is sit down with a hot cup of tea and journal, read, or even soak in a hot tub, perhaps while enjoying a scented candle or incense.
You have the option to give your friend or family member the gift of a tea experience, not just tea itself. Keep that in mind as you peruse our list of best gifts for tea lovers, starting with the most affordable.
Affordable Tea Gifts Under $50
Create Your Own Bundle Of Teas And Accessories From Tea And I
You’d be amazed by how many tea-related gifts you can bundle for less than $50!
For example, at the Tea and I online store, you can pair this glass mug with a steel infuser and lid with our signature tea sample pack. The pack features all the loose tea blends we offer in our shop, including Matcha, Black Forest Bloom, Valerian ZZZs, Golden Turmeric Truffle, Spice Revival, Womb Ritual, and Elderberry Armor.
When you order the tea sample pack, you also have the option to add an infuser wand. This handy tool will help your tea lover make tea using their own mugs, rather than ones with an infuser already built in.
Another beautiful, affordable tea gift bundle you can make includes our ceremonial grade matcha green tea powder and our ceremonial matcha tea starter kit. This gift truly combines tea with ritual!
There are a lot of other gift bundling options available at Tea and I, as well! For example, you can pair one of our tea blends with a separate gift, such as the items we’ve listed below.
The 12-Week Year By Brian P. Moran
One thing that we could all use going into the new year is a plan to complete all our goals and New Year’s resolutions – for real this time!
That’s exactly what this book titled The 12-Week Year by Brian P. Moran does. Your tea lover can reorganize, recalibrate, and reinvigorate their mind, body, and soul as they read this book while they sip their new tea blend from Tea and I.
Be Rooted Journal
Sometimes we have more thoughts to express than we can say out loud, so the best way to get all those ideas out is often to write them down. What better time and place to do so than during a morning or evening tea ritual, in a beautiful journal by Be Rooted?
Be Rooted is a Black-owned stationery shop, and their journals – with their gorgeous, inclusive covers – make the most stunning holiday gifts. Win your tea lover over with a journal paired with a Tea and I tea blend or mug. Help them transform their tea ritual for the coming year!
Tea Gifts Over $50
Want a tea gift that is a little more expensive and upscale? Here are some ideas over $50.
Gift Box From Tea And I
We understand if you like to buy all the parts of your gift at once, rather than select each piece your own. That’s why at Tea and I, we offer gift boxes like the Blissful Brew Tea Gift Box.
It comes with all sorts of goodies that will help your tea lover feel loved, including 4 tea samples, a candle with a Fresh Cotton scent, a custom matchbook, a jar of raw, unfiltered honey, and Luxe Sugar Scrub Cubes courtesy of the Refined Company – and more!
Tea Gadgets
Tea gadgets make wonderful gifts over $50. Many of them are beautiful as well as functional, like this gooseneck electric kettle by Intasting. It's quick heating, and it allows precise control over the temperature of the boiling water. The best part is that since it's electric, it can be taken anywhere – on vacation, camping, and even to holiday family get-togethers!
After heating the tea to the right temperature, tea drinkers know that one of the most frustrating parts of enjoying their favorite beverage is that it often cools down before they can finish it. But if you give them a tea gadget like the Ember Temperature Control Mug this holiday, that will never be a problem again!
The Ember Temperature Control Mug comes with a charging coaster and an app for your loved one's phone. When fully charged, it works independently of the coaster for 1.5 hours – plenty of time to sip on a full cup of tea to the bottom. The app allows them to control the temperature of the mug, so they can keep their tea at just the right degree of heat for their personal tastes.
You can find this luxe, technologically advanced tea mug at Amazon.
Tea And I Gift Card
Too steeped in ideas to know which tea gift is right for your friend or family member? The simplest solution is to get them a gift card for Tea and I. You can put as much money as you want on it, from $25, $50, $100, and beyond. That way, the recipient can choose their favorite tea items themselves.
