Samplers: the safest gifts for tea lovers
When you do not know someone's favorite, give them ten. The Top 10 Sampler ($44.99) spans black, green, oolong and herbal. The Top 10 Caffeine Free Sampler ($44.99) is all rooibos and herbal blends for evening cups, and the Top 10 Iced Teas (4-cup sample set, $44.99) suits cold-brew fans. For the person who wants to try nearly everything, the Tea Library holds 30 teas at 4 cups each. Our sampler comparison covers each set in detail.
Tea for Two and glass teaware
Teaware turns a bag of tea into a complete gift. The Tea for Two Starter Set ($69.99) is a glass set made for sharing, a good choice for couples or someone new to loose leaf. The Two Cup Glass Teapot ($27.99) shows the leaves unfurling as they steep, and the Glass Mug ($11.99) and One Cup Infuser ($17.99) make an easy single-cup setup. Pair any of them with a 15-cup bag of a favorite blend.
70-cup bags for the daily drinker
If they already know what they love, give more of it. Our 70-cup bags are $44.99, about 64¢ a cup, against $14.99 for a 15-cup bag. A bag of The Library for a morning black tea drinker or Silent Night for evenings lasts well into the new year.
