The Best Tea Gifts That’ll Warm Their Hearts

No matter what time of day it is, we're always up for a cuppa. Now they can brew the perfect cup according to their mood with this Mood Gift Set from Numi Organic Tea.

With selections like Moroccan Mint for a refreshing pick-me-up and calming Chamomile Lemon for relaxing before bedtime, this 40-bag assorted tea set makes a perfect and thoughtful tea gift for the ritualistic drinker.

Just like with coffee, it's a total bummer to spend all of your efforts preparing the perfect cup of tea, only for it to turn tepid the moment you turn your back. The Ember is a tea gift that makes this a thing of the past!

The Ember is a mug with a built-in warmer that provides 80 minutes of tea toastiness before it shuts off automatically after 2 hours. The included coaster functions as its charger, and it can keep their brew warm for much longer. The Ember is also a smart device, so they can program to the temp they want via smartphone.

As far as we're concerned, this electric kettle is the perfect tea gift. It's powered by five preset temperature settings, so if they like drinking different types of tea, this model makes it easy to choose the best temperature for each kind. (And yes, there's also a preset temp for coffee.)

The kettle will beep three times when it’s ready, and if they’ve hit the “hold temp” button, it’ll stay right at that temperature for up to an hour before shutting off automatically. It’ll supply at least two mugs’ worth of piping-hot water for their daily cups.

Make tea straining less of a strain with this reviewer-favorite product. Made of BPA-free, shatterproof, and heatproof Tritan plastic, it allows users to flip open the top, pour in their tea and hot water, and then allow it to steep.
