What do you buy a tea drinker who has everything?

Something with theatre or utility they'd skip for themselves: a flowering-tea set for the show, or a bamboo storage box to finally organise the stash.

Good tea gift on a budget?

A loose-leaf sampler or a glass infuser teapot both sit at the low end and always land well.

Gift Guide

Gifts for Tea Lovers (From the Casual Sipper to the Tea Snob)

Tea people are easy to please and easy to get wrong at the same time - a box of supermarket bags won't do, but you don't need to spend a fortune either. The winning move is loose-leaf gear and a few teas worth savouring. These picks suit everyone from the mug-by-the-laptop sipper to the one with a shelf full of tins.
