Lately with the rise of bubble tea shops, there has been a rediscovery of the value of tea in the west. More and more people are looking for the perfect unusual gift for tea lovers. Surprise her with a loose leaf tea gift basket packed with accessories and tea biscuits!
The best things to put with tea as a gift is a quality strainer or steeper. Other great options to consider are a reuseable tea canister to properly store loose leaf tea. Loose leaf tea when stored in a air-tight tea canister can last at least 2 years without loosing any freshness or flavour. If tea leaves are left out in the open, they will loose vibrancy and flavour within 6 months to 1 year. However, keep in mind that tea leaves never expire. They might loose their flavour and crisp flavour over time, but they are still safe to drink. Some varieties of tea are even fermented for years, hundreds of years! These speical aged black teas are sold in tea auctions for thousands of dollars per kilo.
It is completely okay to give tea as a gift, in fact, it's a healthy beverage that was considered a medicine in Chinese medical science for thousands of years! Outside of North America, most countries perceive tea as medicine as well as a recreational/social beverage to enjoy with friends and loved ones. Don't be surprised when the recipient of your tea gift tells you how much they loved your thoughtful gesture.

Believe it or not, tea is the second most consumed beverage across the globe. And you guessed it, the first one is water! In North America we are in particular a coffee culture, however, most of the rest of the world prefers tea, or chai. Now when deciding which quality of tea to include in a tea lovers gift, the biggest factor to consider is the format. There are pros and cons to both bagged tea and loose leaf tea such as loose leaf can be resteeped and has a more potent flavour. Tea bags are convienient and hard to oversteep, which makes them perfect for on the go. However, tea bags have also recently been found to leech micro plastics into your cup and should be avoided if possible. Fortunately there are now company's who offer biodegradable and plant-based tea bags, which are much better for our health and the environement.
Perhaps the most famous and popular variety of tea is called Earl Grey Tea. This is a type of black tea and traditionally it is made with a Sri Lankan grown ceylon black tea. Contrary to what most people think, Earl Grey Tea is not considered it's own category of tea. It is a flavoured black tea. This means that the base tea is black tea, which is what you get when you fully oxidize tea leaves. The oil of bergamot is added to create a deeply flavourful citrus aftertaste. Flavoured teas have become the top selling tea products in North America and have given birth to an entirely new tea market called Luxury Tea Products.
All teas come from the same plant, called the camellia sinensis plant. This is a particularly interesting plant because it's highly adaptable and depending on the elevation, climate and temperature, it will create a sister/adapted cousin variety which has it's own unique flavour profile and taste. Since the tea plant was stolen from China by what was perhaps the first act of corporate espionage in the 1800's, it has made it way to over 80 countries which now have their own varieties of the tea leaf.
Matcha tea has been extremely popular in the wellness industry due to it's higher caffeine and antioxidant content. Matcha is a green tea powder which easily dissolves in water and in this case the tea leaves are entirely consumed instead of discarded afterwards.
Not all black tea tastes astringent! In Northern India there is a high-altitude tea growing region called Darjeeling. What is unique about this particular region is the tea leaves produced in this special area have a smooth, floral flavour. This is highly unusual for black teas and hence this region became very popular with British Royalty in the early 1900s. Today, Darjeeling Tea is one of the very most premium and highly sought tea varieties. First flush Darjeeling teas can cost $100-$200 per 50g and the same leaves can be resteeped multiple times without loosing much flavour.
