These Holiday Gift Ideas for Tea Lovers Are Beyond Thoughtful
There are people who love tea, then there are people who love tea. You know, the ones who start every morning with a cuppa green tea for a catechin-infused dose of caffeine and wrap up the day with a steaming mug of herbal tea to wind down and relax. They're also the ones who probably have a kitchen drawer full of tea boxes and infusers and are always ready to try the next tea craze, whether it's matcha, bubble, or chai tea lattes.
So, when your best friend or mom is a verifiable tea-aholic, there's no better gift to give than a tea-centric item. And while, certainly, this includes more tea and tea infusers (you can never really have enough, can you?), you shouldn't overlook the other tea-lover's essentials, like kettles, mugs, and gourmet honey, or the "tea adjacent" items, like tea-infused skincare, alcohol, or tea-themed home goods. And once you've settled on one or two gifts for your tea-loving bestie, go ahead and check out our cozy gifts for homebodies, gifts for foodies, and the best wellness gifts around.
