Tea is associated with many pleasant things, chief among them comfort and tranquility. Offering both a gentle way to ease into a morning and a calming ritual perfect for bedtime, the ancient botanical drink brings balance and peace to any setting. It makes a welcome centerpiece to a gift basket, and creative options abound when you’re putting together gifts for tea lovers and new tea drinkers alike. Read on for some tea-centric gift basket ideas to delight everyone on the receiving end.
Books & Tea: A Perfect Pairing
There may be no cozier pastime in the world than the simple act of curling up with tea and a good book. Especially for loved ones who could use a reminder to treat themselves to a tea break, consider pairing a fragrantcaffeine-free tea(or two) with a book they might enjoy. This kind gesture may give them the permission they weren’t aware they needed for a few hours of much-needed “me” time. For inspiration, consult theNational Book Foundationfor award winners by genre and year.
Tea Forté offers a variety of collections and teaware to curl up with.
Tasteful Treats: Palate Pleasers
Whether the receiver has a sweet tooth or a taste for salty, crispy snacks, tea makes for an easy pairing with a variety of sweet and savory bites. Tea and chocolate is a classic combination, as are tea cookies, water biscuits, dried fruits and nuts, honey, Amber Tea Sugar and luxury goods like fine cheese, aged vinegars, and infused oils.
Thoughtful gift basket combinations like these are a time-tested favorite,where elegant tea accessories and artisanalchaioroolong blendwill always be met with enthusiasm.
Sweeten their cup with honey or our own Amber Tea Sugar.
Sense of Place: Themed Teas
Tea can transport the mind to another place and time, and that may have something to do with the deep history of tea. Perhaps the recipient is an Anglophile with a love of all things royal; if so, consider pairing a very English gift ofEarl Greytea or English Breakfast with a few other items straight from the UK.
