For those who love to drink the good stuff...and spill it. Tea Tube Packaging
Oprah likes to start every morning by pouring herself a cup of tea. (She takes hers "savory and strong," in case you were wondering.) And surely, you have a friend who has their own ritual. Perhaps it involves lighting a sweet-smelling candle, cuddling up for a feel-good movie, and helping themselves to a spot of oolong or a mug of chamomile. They may also love the health benefits of green or hibiscus tea, or use a piping-hot cup of it to wind down before hitting the sheets on a cold night. It's very personal. Which is exactly why shopping for a tea lover can feel intimidating—especially if you're more of a coffee person.
So what do you get a tea connoisseur? Lucky for you, we've gathered the most perfect gifts, including delicious blends from the best tea brands, products for at-home tea tastings, funny apparel and accessories, luxurious teapots so pretty they'll feel like they're drinking with the queen, and even a few cameos from Oprah's Favorite Things. Depending on your budget, you can purchase one or two items (bonus: many can be found on Amazon) or curate a handful for the ultimate tea gift basket (think: punny socks, pretty earrings, an array of tea blends, an engraved spoon, a tea box made of acacia wood, tea drops, honey, and more). Either way, all of these thoughtful pampering gifts are worth a...chai. See what we did there? *Cue jazz hands*
This rose=gold bottle is a tea infuser and travel flask in one. The ideal gift for someone who loves tea and is always on the go.
This robust set comes with 50 tea bags, two of each flavor. Don't options like Chamomile Lemon, Ginger Peach, Mango Ceylon, and Blackberry Sage sound delicious?
This delicate, double-walled ceramic cup has a lid for warmth and a stainless steel infuser basket to hold loose leaf tea. But don't worry—although this product keeps tea warm for longer than a regular mug, it can be put in the microwave if things cool off.
You’ve heard of hot chocolate bombs, but have you heard of tea bombs? These spectacular sips are made with sugar, floral tea, and dried flowers. The flavor selection includes cinnamon, mint/spearmint, passion fruit, blossom flowers, hibiscus, and chamomile. They come to life as soon as hot water meets the sweet treat, turning the bomb to brew in seconds.
More honey, but in a different form. These hard honey candy spoons on wooden sticks are such a treat. Stir into a hot cup of tea, and the sweetness will melt right in. Perfect for herbal tea drinkers.
This subscription box is made by tea lovers for tea lovers. Each month, the giftee will receive four new premium teas chosen from thousands of top-rated products specifically tailored to their taste preferences.
"There’s a chai for every mood in this lovely set!" proclaimed Oprah when she featured this box set in her annual Favorite Things list in 2021. Blends such as a traditional masala, cardamom and rose, and even a caffeine-free lavender truly make this gift. It even comes with a steeper for convenience.
Curated gift sets are a thoughtful gift to send to a long-distance loved one. Boasting chai, honey, rustic mug, and fuzzy socks, this cozy box shows someone you care.
What's tea without a delicious cookie or two? Why not buy your tea-loving friend a very royal selection of Scottish shortbread cookies from Buckingham Palace?
This Advent calendar was made for adventurous tea drinkers. Each cup is one of 24 festivi-teas, flavored to make their holiday season a little merrier. But what makes this culmination of blends extra special is that behind each door is a double portion of that day’s tea, so they can enjoy it twice or share a cup with a loved one. (Note: The calendar pictured here consists of caffeinated blends. If your recipient prefers decaf, click here.)
This set of 10 single-estate teas lets them sample delicious varieties from across the globe.
Not only would this make a sleek addition to any countertop, it also features preset buttons for white, green, and oolong teas so you get the ideal brew.
To quote Jane Austen, “But indeed I would rather have nothing but tea.” Tea and books go together like peanut butter and jelly, and this tea bag bookmark blends the two seamlessly into a gorgeous, unique gift. You can also get the bookmark personalized, to enhance its sentimentality for your recipient.
If they are serious about tea drinking, especially in the classic English style, then this 11-piece vintage-inspired set might be just their cup of tea.
As it turns out, not all mugs are created equal. Case in point: this pretty ceramic cup, which keeps your drink warm for as long as you want. Plus, the base coaster doubles as a wireless phone charger.
These English breakfast tea bags come individually tagged, each one adorned with a literary quote plucked from a classic. The gift has popped up on Oprah’s favorites list in the past, and we concur: It’s a great option for tea lovers who are also avid readers.
If the tea lover in your life also has in interest in all things magical and mystical, then why not combine their two loves with this tea witch's grimoire?
Where would a tea drinker be without a proper teapot? Even if they have one, give them an upgrade with this beautifully elegant option. This multicolored stoneware teapot is hand-painted, with prominent, shiny gold accents.
Gift yourself or another with a lovely herbal tool chest of wellness teas. This gift set of 40 tea bags includes flavors like Immune Boost, Moroccan Mint, Dandelion Detox, Congest Away, Rooibos, Throat Soother, and Immune Support.
