Tea Sampler Gift Sets: Which One to Buy for a Tea Lover
Share
Samplers are the best way to buy tea for someone else, because you do not have to guess their one favorite flavor. You give them ten. Here is how our sampler sets compare so you can match one to the person.

For the person who "likes tea" but you are not sure what kind
The Top 10 Sampler. It covers black, green, oolong and herbal, with dessert-like blends alongside brighter fruity ones. Nobody finishes it without finding two or three favorites.
For someone who cannot have caffeine
The Top 10 Caffeine-Free Sampler. Rooibos and herbal blends like pumpkin caramel, chocolate nutmeg and honeydew mint that taste like real tea. Read our caffeine-free fall picks for tasting notes.
For the coffee drinker
Skip the sampler and go straight to a few bold blacks: Jet Black (roasty coffee notes), Dirty Chai (actually has coffee in it) and Low Country (bourbon sugar). Samples are $4.99 each, so three of them cost less than one sampler.
For the tea snob
Rare Leaves Single-Origin Sampler. Unflavored, single-estate teas like Nepalese black and Taiwanese roasted oolong. If they already own a gaiwan, this is the one.
Make it a complete gift
Pair any sampler with a basket infuser ($17.99) or a glass mug ($11.99), or give the Tea for Two starter set which bundles the basics. Browse everything in Tea Samplers & Gifts.
Orders over $45 ship free in the US, so a sampler plus an infuser usually qualifies.
