With the holiday season fast approaching, you may be looking for thoughtful gifts for the tea drinker in your life. Luckily, most of the big tea companies are well ahead of you, and have put together a wide range of tea boxes and gift sets which work well as gifts. Here are a few reasonably priced, high quality tea gift sets that you should look into.

This tea set from Numi has been one of the most popular holiday gift sets on Amazon for several years running. And this is for good reason, as you get a whole lot for your $20: a nice little glass tea pot and six flowering tea blossoms all packaged neatly in a high quality mahogany box.

Honestly, I would recommend this tea gift very highly. Not only does it look great, but Numi’s teas tend to be of a fairly high quality. The only problem, however, is that not everyone likes tea blossoms. While they are interesting and quite pretty, those who like black teas may find the taste a little, well, flowery.

China Tea Loose Leaf Sampler Gift Pack – 6 Tins

This set of six tins of loose leaf Chinese tea–Pu-Erh, Oolong, Longjing, Jasmine, Tie Guan Yin and China Green–would make a great gift for the person in your life who has expressed an interest in starting to drink loose leaf tea.

Also, at less than $10 it is quite affordable, and would make a great stocking stuffer or secret santa gift. If your intended recipient isn’t too familiar with brewing loose leaf tea, you could pad the gift out with an Adagio Teas 16 oz. Tea Pot which will not only give them a complete kit for getting started with loose leaf tea, but also bump your order over $25 and make you eligible for free shipping!

This tea gift set is more expensive than the others we’ve reviewed, but it comes with a really interesting twist. Not only does it include two tins of loose leaf tea (one of black tea, one of white tea), but it also comes with a really cute mug with a cover and a handy ceramic tea filter.

I really like the inclusion of the strainer. Not only does it look nice, but it can be used for years as the recipient of the gift gets more into drinking loose leaf tea. Heck, this is the one I’m most likely to buy for myself.

There you go. Tea gift sets can make a very thoughtful and interesting gift, and hopefully will make people on your Christmas list start down the road towards a lifetime of tea enjoyment!
