These are the tea gifts I pack and ship from Cibolo, Texas: gift boxes with loose leaf sachets, a real teacup, a cookie, and the games I play at my own parties, plus mugs, shirts, and single blends. Start here if you are shopping for somebody who loves tea and you are not sure what she already drinks.
Most tea gift sets are a box of tea bags. Mine are an afternoon: something to sip, something to keep, and something to do while you sit down with it.
I started out hosting live tea parties, and guests kept asking where they could buy the tea. So I began packing the whole thing into a box, because not everybody can get to my table.
How to choose
- ✓ For a birthday, a thank you, or just because: Simple Pleasures, three teas, twelve sachets, tea games, and your choice of a teacup and saucer or a tea time journal.
- ✓ For a care package or a small lift: A Mini Tea Party in a Box, one tea box, four sachets, a bookmark, and a mini teacup and saucer.
- ✓ When there are no words: Healing Moments in Sympathy carries remembrance prompts and a sympathy card, and Get Well Soon carries words of affirmation for somebody resting at home.
- ✓ For the person who has everything: Sweet Surprises, a mystery box where no two are packed the same.
- ✓ For a watch party or a girls' night: the Bridgerton Inspired box, with lace gloves, trivia, and a word search.
- ✓ For a table of eight: the Party Kit for 8 Guests, place settings, dessert stands, five teas, and setup instructions, so you host without planning each piece.
- ✓ For a small gift, a party favor, or a stocking: the Mini Teapot Sampler, a tiny teapot, four flavors, and a chocolate treat.

If you want the whole box range in one place, browse tea party in a box. Single blends and sachet boxes live in the tea shop, the tea mugs are here when you want something smaller, and if you are buying for a team rather than one person, start with corporate tea gifts.
Pick the one that fits the moment, and I will pack the rest. Just add hot water.
Questions people ask
What is a good gift for someone who loves tea?
A box that carries more than tea, because a tea drinker usually already has tea she likes. Every full size box here pairs three loose leaf blends with something to keep, a cookie, and an activity, so the gift still lands even if one blend is not her favorite.
Is this loose leaf tea or tea bags?
Loose leaf, pre-measured into sachets. There is no infuser to buy and no leaves to scoop out, so the person you send it to just adds hot water. These are the same blends I pour at my own tea parties.
Which tea gift should I send if I do not know what she drinks?
Send a box rather than a single blend. Simple Pleasures and A Mini Tea Party in a Box both arrive with more than one tea, Sweet Surprises is a mystery box that changes every time, and a gift card lets her pick for herself.
Do these tea gifts come with a teacup?
Several of them do. Simple Pleasures, Healing Moments in Sympathy, and Get Well Soon each come with a choice of a teacup and saucer or a tea time journal, and the Mini arrives with a mini teacup and saucer. The Tea Cup and Saucer Gift Set can also be sent on its own.
