100 Presents for Tea Lovers

From Intentionally Crooked Tea Sets to Collapsible Kettles

— November 30, 2012 — Eco
It might seem easy to shop for presents for tea lovers this holiday, but when the typical tea pots and tea flavors have all been exhausted in the past years, what's left?

The soothing drink of tea is great for relaxing, comfortable conversations. These presents for tea lovers include high-tech brewing methods as well as traditional low-tech steeping, depending on the receiver's preference. From eco-infusing travel mugs for the commuters to hourglass brewers, tea fanatics will surely appreciate the extra thought put into their themed gifts this Christmas.

Get tea lovers the gift they've always wanted this year, and you have so much to choose from. Steer away from the boring tea mug and give a gift that really stands out.
