You may be confident that your tea enthusiast will like any of these gifts because we have tried and used almost all of the tea and tea-related items we are proposing here.

With Numi's Global Tea Discovery Kit, they may explore the globe from the comfort of their couch. Fair trade components and plant-based tea bags are used in the package of 30 tea bags. This selection is well-curated and provides a variety of tastes and caffeine strengths.
We valued the availability of both warm, spicy teas and light, herbal flavors at each caffeine level. For an afternoon pick-me-up, we could sip the refreshing jasmine green tea, or right before night, we could sip a warm spiced tea like the Rooibos chai.
2. Matcha tea set

A three-month subscription with free shipping makes up the standard gift set.
How much we learned from the experience was our favorite aspect of the package. Compared to simply soaking a tea bag in hot water, we felt much more involved in our tea drinking experience because each bag of tea comes with flavor notes, regional information, and steeping instructions.

Tea drinkers can never have too many adorable mugs, and this one is made of fine bone china and comes with a stainless steel infuser and a package of loose-leaf tea in addition to being made of excellent bone china.
