Gifts for Tea Lovers: Kettles, Cups, Loose Leaf and Little Tools

Gifts for tea lovers: kettles and teapots, cups and mugs, loose leaf teas and matcha, infusers and tools, and a few sweets to go with it.

For the Slow Mornings

Gifts for tea lovers are about the ritual. A good kettle, a pretty cup and a tin of something special turn a break into an event. These are my gifts for tea lovers.

Teapots and Kettles

A kettle is the heart of the tea corner. The Fellow Stagg EKG is a favorite, and the Fellow Clyde is a softer, friendlier shape. The Hario ChaCha teapot is the glass one for watching the leaves.

Cups and Mugs

A good cup changes the first sip. The KINTO CAST and UNITEA glass cups show off the color of the tea, and the Hawkins New York splatter mugs are cheerful. The Duralex Versailles in jungle green is a small, bright piece.

Loose Leaf Teas

A tin of good tea is the easiest gift. Matchaful and Mizuba make beautiful matcha, and Rishi Earl Grey Supreme is a daily favorite. The DONA Tea Library is a nice way to explore.

Infusers and Tools

The right tool makes loose leaf easy. The Tea Spot Everyday infuser and the FORLIFE basket infuser are simple and sturdy, and the Ippodo matcha whisk is for ceremony. The Hario tea warmer keeps a pot hot.

Something Sweet

Tea is better with something small beside it. The Milk Bar cookies and the Dandelion Chocolate toffee are my choices. The Savannah Bee honeycomb gift is lovely with a hot cup.

The Easiest Gift

If you are unsure, pick a tin of matcha and a cup. It covers the ritual in one box. A kettle is the one to give when you want to go bigger.
