1. Tea Bag Sampler Set
It’s easy to claim a tea as your favorite before you’ve tried them all. So why not try them all? Giving the gift of a tea sampler set can introduce your tea lovers to new flavors, scents, and brands that they may not have considered trying before.
2. A Handmade Mug
A tea lover can never have too many mugs, but a ceramic mug will put all the others to shame.
3. Mug Warmer
Not everyone gulps their tea down in a few minutes. Some of us like to savor our tea, but our tea doesn’t always like to be savored, and goes cold after about half an hour. If your tea lover likes to savor the flavor, a mug warmer can help to keep their beverage warm for much longer.
4. Loose Leaf Tea Sampler
If the tea lover in your life usually sticks to tea bags, they might be interested in switching it up. Loose leaf teas are becoming more and more popular, and allow you to try out and mix a larger variety of teas than you’ll find pre-bagged. A loose leaf tea sampler is a great gift for an open-minded tea lover.
5. Loose Leaf Tea Strainer

6. Tea Storage Canister
Another great loose leaf tea gift would be storage canisters. When you find a loose leaf tea that you love, you’ll want more of it, and they won’t stay fresh if you keep bulk tea in the bag they give you at your local tea store. A tea holding canister is a great way to display tea, while also keeping it fresh.
