A tea party for one is the whole point of this shelf: the boxes and gift sets built for a single person instead of a table of guests. If you are buying for yourself, or sending something to one friend, one teacher, or one person having a hard week, start here.
I started with live tea parties, and guests kept asking where they could buy the tea. So I built these to send the whole moment to one person instead. Pour into yourself. It is not selfish, and it does not need an occasion.
How to choose
- ✓ For a full afternoon to yourself: Simple Pleasures, three tea boxes and 12 sachets, with your pick of a teacup and saucer or a tea time journal.
- ✓ For a small gift, a care package, or a child's first tea time: A Mini Tea Party in a Box, four sachets and its own mini teacup and saucer.
- ✓ For someone who already owns enough things: the Tea Cup and Saucer Gift Set, a matching cup and saucer with four of my blends, a cookie, and sugar cubes.
- ✓ For a night in with a theme: the Bridgerton Inspired Tea Party in a Box, with lace gloves, trivia, and a word search. Inspired by the style of the series, not affiliated with Netflix or Bridgerton.
- ✓ After a loss: Healing Moments in Sympathy, which carries remembrance prompts, poems, and a sympathy card alongside the tea.
- ✓ While someone is resting at home: Get Well Soon, with comforting blends, words of affirmation, tissues, and a card.
- ✓ For a stocking, a party favor, or a first taste of the blends: the Mini Teapot Sampler, a mini teapot with four flavors and a chocolate.
Good to know
- ✓ Every blend is loose leaf, already measured into a sachet, so no infuser and no teapot. Just add hot water.
- ✓ Simple Pleasures lets you choose a teacup and saucer or a tea time journal on the product page.
- ✓ The Mini box and the Tea Cup and Saucer Gift Set each arrive with a cup and saucer, so the recipient needs nothing else.
- ✓ Every box is packed and shipped from Texas.
If you are gathering more than a person or two, the larger boxes and the party kit live in the full tea party in a box range. If you already have a cup you love and just want the tea, the single blends are in the tea shop. For mugs, shirts, and the rest of the giftable range, see the tea gifts shelf.
Pick the one that fits today, and I will pack the rest.
Questions people ask
Which tea box is best for just one person?
A Mini Tea Party in a Box is the simplest one for a single person, with four sachets and its own mini teacup and saucer. Choose Simple Pleasures instead if you want a longer afternoon, because it holds three tea boxes, 12 sachets, activities, and your pick of a teacup or a journal.
Do I need a teapot or an infuser?
No. Every blend is loose leaf tea already measured into a sachet, so you drop one into a cup and add hot water. That is the reason I pack them this way, because loose leaf should not mean a sink full of strainers.
Does a teacup come with the box?
It depends on the box. Simple Pleasures gives you a choice of a teacup and saucer or a tea time journal, A Mini Tea Party in a Box includes a mini teacup and saucer, and the Tea Cup and Saucer Gift Set is the cup itself with four blends beside it.
Can I send one of these to someone else?
Yes, and most of these are bought as gifts. Each box is sized for one person, so nothing sits unused, and the recipient does not need to own a teapot, an infuser, or a cup to use it. Every box is packed and shipped from Texas.
