Simple Pleasures is a tea party gift box for 1 to 4 people: you pick 3 loose leaf tea flavors and a real teacup and saucer in the pattern you like, or a tea time journal, and we pack them with 12 pre-measured sachets, a cookie, sugar cubes, a teaspoon, and the tea fact cards, reflection prompts and games, all in a keepsake box.
We made this box for the moment when you want to sit somebody down and pour them a cup, but you live 3 states away, or 3 rooms away with a baby asleep in one of them. It is the whole tea party in one box.
You pick 3 blends from the tea list on this page. They are the same ones we pour at our live tea parties, pre-measured into sachets, so whoever opens the box can just add hot water. No teapot, no infuser, no measuring, nothing to strain.
If you choose the teacup, you choose the pattern too. The pattern you pick is the cup we pack.
The cards are in there so nobody has to work out how to start the conversation. That part Erica learned at her own kitchen table, with 5 kids and a pot between them.
We set the price deliberately. A tea party should be something you can send on a Tuesday, not something you save up for.

-
Found a favorite? Most of these blends are also sold on their own in Our loose leaf tea shop, 4 sachets to a box.
-
3 blends, 12 sachets. Single-serve and pre-measured, 1 sachet per 8 ounce cup, so there is nothing to weigh or strain.
-
Pick your teacup pattern. Choose your pattern from the list on this page and that is the cup we pack. We have 1 of each, so a pattern that has sold greys out.
-
Or choose the journal. The tea time journal sits at the bottom of the same list and takes the teacup's place for someone who would rather write than pour.
-
About the cookie. It is store bought and individually wrapped, and it is not gluten-free.
-
Cards, not just tea. Tea fact cards, reflection prompts, conversation cards and a tea bingo sheet, so the box hands you something to talk about.
-
Packed by hand in San Antonio, Texas. Shipped orders leave for the post office in 2 to 4 days. Local pickup in Schertz or at The Tea Blossom is usually ready in the same 2 to 4 days.
-
Add-ons. Teacup earrings in 2 styles, and gift wrapping you can tick on this page.
Sending something smaller? A Mini Tea Party In A Box is the same idea in a pocket size, and every box we make lives in A Tea Party in a Box for Every Occasion. And if you want company with your cup, our monthly virtual tea party gives you a seat at our table from wherever you are.
Pick your blends and your teacup, or the journal, and we will pack the rest. Just add hot water.
Questions people ask
What comes in the Simple Pleasures tea party gift box?
3 boxes of loose leaf tea holding 12 pre-measured sachets in the flavors you pick, a teacup and saucer in your chosen pattern or a tea time journal, a keepsake box, a teaspoon, sugar cubes, a cookie, a cotton pouch, a paper fan, and the cards: tea facts, reflection prompts, conversation cards and a tea bingo sheet.
Can I choose the tea flavors and the teacup pattern?
Yes, both. Tick 3 flavors from the list on this page, then pick your teacup pattern, or choose the tea time journal instead. We have 1 of each pattern, so if the one you want is greyed out, it has sold.
How long does Simple Pleasures take to ship?
We pack shipped orders and get them to the post office within 2 to 4 days. Shipping time comes on top of that, so if the box is for a birthday or a set date, order early enough to cover both. Local pickup in Schertz or at The Tea Blossom is usually ready in the same window.
Do I need a teapot or an infuser?
No. Each sachet is pre-measured for 1 cup. Drop it in the teacup, add hot water, wait a few minutes, and sip. If you chose the journal instead of the teacup, any mug in your kitchen works just as well.
Is the cookie gluten-free?
No. The cookie in the box is store bought and individually wrapped, and it is not gluten-free.
