Great Gifts for Tea Lovers
When creating this list full of tea lovers’ gifts we tried to go for variety. This way, you should be able to find a suitable gift – whether it be a Christmas gift for tea lovers or a unique tea gift for another occasion.
Just try to remember if your tea lover already owns a specific product before making a purchase. You probably don’t want to gift them a full tea set when they already own one or two. If in doubt, opt for something a little less common – like the Matcha tea set – or for something that can be consumed – like different teas.
Matcha Tea Set
For those tea lovers you know who are super into matcha – or those that are interested in trying new things – this is the gift for them: A traditional matcha set! Preparing the perfect cup of matcha has never been easier (if you’re outside of Japan, that is).
Simple Loose Leaf Tea Subscription Box
If your tea lover is interested in trying new teas and flavors, then a tea subscription box might be the perfect gift for them. This affordable box has great reviews and you can choose between four different types of boxes to hit the taste that your tea drinker loves!
Tea Tumbler with Infuser / Travel Tea Mug
A tea tumbler with an infuser can be the perfect gift for a tea lover that is often on-the-go. This tumbler is great for traveling with tea so if you have a morning commuter who you need a gift for this might be the perfect gift! It’s also great for loose leaf should that be the style of tea being used.
Tea Tins
The best tea is nothing without a good storage container. For the tea lover, a tea tin is key – and these tins have a great design to keep the kitchen fun, classy, or both! Keep the tea fresh and the style level high in the home of your tea drinker with this great tin.
Teabloom Celebration Complete Tea Set
This tea lovers’ gift is a modern twist on the classic drink – loose leaf infuser pots. Take the tea gathering to the next level with a tea warmer, flowering teas, and more! It’s sure to impress and also make good tea – which is super important!
A Tea Tasting Experience
While tea-based gifts usually come in the form of accessories or products, you can always invest in a great tea tasting experience around your city or a city you are planning to visit. Check below for some great examples of tea tasting and walking tours in amazing cities that you can book ahead and enjoy!
Porcelain Tea Sets – British Royal Series
If you want to go for more of the classic look for the tea lover in your life, then a porcelain tea set is the way to go. Inspired by the way tea had been done in the UK for centuries, this complete set makes a good focal point in a kitchen or dining room and is functional, too! It’s great for family gatherings that include tea and cake!
Sweetened Loose Leaf Tea Drops Standard Sampler
There are some great affordable tea drinker gifts out there. Take these sweetened tea drops, for example. This loose-leaf tea has a bit of sweet added so you just drop them in and you’re making tea! This comes in a nice box and includes different flavors so it’s definitely something to look into if you’re unsure about buying a tea accessory!
Bamboo Tea Box
Another super great tea accessory is a tea box. We also have a wood tea box that we love because it stores our tea well and it also keeps the tea bags fresh. Similar to this one, it looks great and fits in with our kitchen decor perfectly!

For your tea lover that is into both hosting friends and loose-leaf tea, this variety size loose-leaf set is likely a great gift for them. Now they can choose whether to make single cups or a larger pot while having the perfect stainless steel set to do so with. Looks great, too!

The ultimate “tea lover freedom” is to be able to grow your own tea – and now it’s possible. This guide to planting, harvesting, and blending teas is a great tea gift idea for the tea lover that wants to take their tea experience to the next level!
Herbal Bath Soak Blend
Tea lovers might also like the idea of infused scents in other aspects of their life. Take bathing, for example. This herbal bath soak is a great way to relax and to stimulate the senses in a way tea might not. One might even drink tea while soaking in the scented salty bath!
Wissotzky Tea Magic Tea Chest
Sometimes, a simple gift of assorted teas in a nice wooden box is enough to please a tea lover. Well, ask and you shall receive! We also have a wooden assorted tea box at home (and have received assorted tea packages in the past) and we honestly love it.
Things to Consider When Buying Gifts For Tea Drinkers
There are a few things you’ll want to consider before you buy a tea gift for a tea lover. Let’s break them down one by one below!
Ingredients
If you do end up buying actual tea bags or loose leaf tea itself, then you should definitely consider what ingredients are used in the tea you are planning on buying. It’s always a good idea to buy tea with high-quality ingredients that are ethically and sustainably sourced.
Your tea lover will likely also have a distinct tea tasting palate – e.g. they are a green tea fan or black tea lover – so try to get a sense of what that is!
Price and Quality
We have included tea gift ideas in different price ranges on our list. Cheaper tea gifts don’t necessarily have a bad quality – often they are just smaller, more affordable items. You could always buy a few different small gifts and create your own tea gift basket.
More expensive pots, infusers, mugs, sets, etc are higher in price for a reason – generally, they are a good quality product that lasts a long time. These make great gifts – but make sure your tea lover doesn’t already have a go-to item like a pot they always use! Otherwise, they might not use your gift.
Affordable Gifts for Tea Drinkers
Affordable gifts for tea drinkers can be simple additions to larger tea equipment. They can also make great stocking stuffers – or bundle a few of them together for a tea-based gift pack that you built yourself. There is no harm in a bunch of useful little tea gifts.
Mid-range Gifts for Tea Drinkers
Mid-range gifts for tea drinkers can also be quite simple. There are plenty of great gifts that, depending on who they are for, can be the primary gift or still act as an accessory piece to a larger gift.
Often times, these mid-range gifts are accessories like cups, books, mugs, etc. In fact, we have a whole post on really funny mugs if you want to include that in your gift set!
High-end Gifts for Tea Drinkers
If you are looking to spend a bit more on that tea-based gift, there are some great gifts for the ultimate tea lover in your life. Often times, these are tea sets or pots that are great to look at and are – most importantly – super functional for serving delicious high-quality tea!
Purpose
Obviously, this is an important one. You do need to consider who you are buying for and whether they have a similar item. If they do, and you buy them another one, the likelihood that your gift will just sit on a shelf is high.
There is also often a difference in tea gear that a tea drinker uses personally while alone versus something they would offer to another person who is visiting. Just something to keep in mind when considering a tea gift!
And there you have it – 13 gift ideas for the tea lover on your list this year. In the end, there are plenty of different great gifts that could be a great choice! Just think about the person you’re buying for when considering a gift and we’re confident that you’ll find something suitable!
