    Cuzen Matcha Brewer Starter Kit

    How amazing is this? The Cuzen Matcha Starter Kit is an innovative at-home matcha system that produces freshly ground matcha from organic shade-grown leaves.

    You place the tencha leaves sold by the company in the grinder. Tencha is the name of the tea leaf that's ground up to make powdered matcha. Press the button, and an integrated grinder pulverizes the leaves. 

    A shot of fresh matcha is made that can be enjoyed in a hot or iced latte by pouring matcha shot onto milk, mixed with sparkling water, mixed in a mocktail or cocktail—or just straight. It doesn't get any fresher than this!

    White Wedgwood Bone China Teapot

    I have a Wedgwood China teapot, and not only is it elegantly beautiful, but it also makes a perfect cup of tea. The shape and proportions are just right. The traditional English style and white design will go with any set. I especially love the simple but elegant design. Available on Wayfair.


    Glass Teapot Everything Zen tea gift

    Elegant Hand Blown Glass Teapot 

    This is a beautiful glass teapot. This one is designed of borosilicate (heat-resistant) glass to withstand the heat of boiled water. I like the awesome bamboo trivet too.

    It serves two and has a stainless steel infuser – perfect with enough room for brewing premium loose leaf tea. The glass is nice because it allows you to see the color of the tea infusion and comes in a beautiful blue gift box from Everything Zen.

    Tetsubin Cast Iron Teapot

    The Japanese cast iron teapot is designed to hold the heat. You can steep your fine loose leaf tea directly in the mesh strainer that comes with it.

    It always looks nice on the table. I would advise a trivet under the teapot, though, because they do get hot. It keeps the tea inside nice and hot for multiple pours. Excellent when you’re serving company or when you're simply sipping tea all morning!


    Advent Calendar Tea Gift

    Adagio Tea Advent Calendar

    Tea Advent Calendar! Behind each door is one festive blend after the other to enjoy each day until the big day!

    The calendar contains 24 individual servings, with enough tea for an 8oz pot each day until Christmas.

    Best Herbal Gifts For Tea Lovers

    Turmeric Ginger Tea

    Rishi Tea Turmeric Ginger  

    I've bought Rishi brand before and know they make great products.

    Tumeric and ginger are the latest in wellness tea. Studies show ginger and turmeric have broad anti-inflammatory benefits. It's an ancient Ayurvedic tea.

    Another caffeine-free tea choice. This would make an excellent little stocking stuffer!


    chamomile tea

    Rishi Tea Chamomile Tea 

    This tea is a high-quality chamomile tea, and this might be the ticket. All of Rishi's teas are organic, and many have won awards. They blend their teas in small batches. They sell in loose leaf and teabag variety, but I find the quality is always better in loose leaf tea.

    If you purchase the two Rishi teas recommended here together, it will make an excellent little gift package.


    Happy Tea Gifting

    Thank you all for connecting with me on this beautiful tea journey! I am so grateful you've joined. I hope that you will not only enjoy tea for the excellent beverage that it is, but that you will also make it a way of a healthier lifestyle for yourself, your family, and friends.

    The gift of tea is a gift of love.
