Be a Sweet-Tea

Perhaps the answer to the question of what to get a tea lover is something to sweeten their taste buds. Honey comes in travel-friendly sticks, poppable candy drops, or dreamy raw honey.
Beyond honey there are other tasty tea sweeteners like glamorous rock sugar crystals or sweet and nutty Maple Dust.
Don’t forget to include a new spoon to help mix the sweeteners into a mug of tea. Some ideas include the witty Just Keep Stirring spoon, the rustic cherrywood Love and Magic spoon, or the pewter Heirloom Heart tea scoop.

Tea Infusers Everywhere

Any good loose leaf tea deserves a good tea infuser. Look at the variety of tea infusers out there when you consider what to get a tea lover.
In-mug infusers can come in a basket or “nest” style like the Victorian infuser or the Celestial infuser. Or infusers can be fully enclosed like the traditional tea ball or even this gemstone heart.
There are a multitude of novelty infusers to be found as well, shaped like a shark, sloth, owl, manatee, or even a little man enjoying the hot jacuzzi of you mug. This cat mug with a built-in fish infuser always makes me smile.

Gifts in the Theme of Tea

If your tea lover already has all the tea and infusers they need, it’s time to get creative in picking out a gift related to their hobby of tea.
A sunny floral tea rest can be used to hold a mixing spoon, or show off a scoop of dry loose leaf tea.
Make entertaining for a tea party more functional and stylish than ever with a nature-inspired tea towel and a bamboo tea tray.
The tea spa kit includes tea-infused soaps and bath salts and can bring the spa experience home with flavors and fragrances inspired by your favorite tea blends.
The world presents endless opportunities to use a tote bag, so get your tea lover a tea-themed tote bag to bring plenty of tea and accessories wherever they go.
