With nothing more elaborate than a cup and hot water, these organic morsels of tea, sugar and aromatic spices dissolve into a delightful cup of tea that can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere. The sampler set includes 20 tea drops of a mix of flavors.

For the person who loves loose leaf or likes to bring their good stash with them on the go, these biodegradable tea bags would make a great stocking stuffer. Since these bags are biodegradable and don't have any metal staples, they can get tossed directly in the compost bin.

Meet your stovetop’s new centerpiece. Caraway’s Whistling Tea Kettle is a modern take on the classic kitchen essential, constructed with non-toxic materials to keep your boiled water clean and free of harmful chemicals. Available in seven stunning colors, there's a kettle for every style of kitchen. One thing to note is that the stainless steel handle does get too hot to handle when the water is boiling, but Caraway does include a pot holder with every tea kettle purchase so you can always safely pour your hot water.

For a kettle that will look beautiful on display, gift this sleek matte black electric kettle from Bodum. Made of stainless steel and featuring a cork handle, the narrow spout is designed for precision pouring, which means it's also great for pour-over coffee.

There is a tea for everything — to feel refreshed in the morning, to help you sleep at night, to soothe the throat, to curb that sweet tooth, etc. Tea boxes, whether they're newly opened or only have four bags left, can take up a lot of space. This compact tea organizer looks small, but it holds more than 100 bags, and the clear, removable compartments make it easy to find and access the exact tea you want.

For making tea anywhere, a collapsible kettle is a unique and thoughtful gift idea so that the tea lover in your life will never be without boiling water for a cup of tea. This exact tea kettle we've tried and recommend is currently unavailable, but we found a similar collapsible tea kettle from Amazon.

Brew iced tea at home easily with this cold brewer that has a built-in filter. All it takes is adding loose leaf tea and cold water and steeping in the fridge for 3-6 hours. The built-in filter prevents tea leaves from falling into the cup when you pour the tea. It's that easy.

For loose-leaf tea lovers, an infuser is a must-have. There are several infusers to choose from out there, but I doubt you will find one as lovable and functional as this monster. Fill the belly with loose-leaf tea, place in a cup and pour the tea. The dinosaur head looks adorable as it peeks out of your cup, and you can use the neck as a handle to easily remove it from your cup.

These stylish and stackable double-walled glass mugs keeps your beverage hot or cold for longer and feels comfortable to the touch (no more burned fingers). Plus, I love clear glass teacups because I can easily see how long to steep loose leaf tea to the desired color and potency.

Ditch the plastic bear and opt for a whimsical piece that’s more sustainable. This glass honeycomb jar looks super chic on a tea tray or out on the counter.

You may think frothed milk is reserved only for coffee drinks, but your tea lover friend may still want the frothy goodness of milk. Enter the tea latte (We recommend Bobby Flay's recipe.) It's just like a regular latte, but it's made with brewed tea, and it wouldn't be a true latte without frothing the milk using this handheld frother.

For a gift that keeps on giving, go for a monthly tea subscription box. Choose from a variety box, a caffeine-free herbal box, a black tea box or a green tea box, as well as two, three or four teas per month. With options for terms lengths of one month, three months, six months and 12 months, you can find a subscription that fits any budget, starting at just $10 a month.

For the friend who's always finding the best bubble (boba) tea in new cities, this kit will help them to satisfy their cravings at home. The kit comes with two loose-leaf tea flavors (royal milk and uncommon chai), 10.5-ounce boba tapioca pearls, two reusable, dishwasher-safe stainless steel straws large enough for the tapioca pearls and instructions for making this delicious Taiwanese bubble tea.

Perfect for enjoying with a cup of tea, this book would make a great gift for anyone who wants to learn more about their favorite drink. The top-rated book highlights blends, tastings and ceremonies from around the world and includes recipes for creating your own tea rituals at home.

This is not your grandma's tea set. If the person you're shopping for loves sharing tea with friends or family, gift this elegant and modern porcelain ceramic set that comes with a 25-ounce teapot, a removable stainless steel infuser and four, five-ounce cups with wooden saucers. Plus, there's an option to add a tea sampler to complete the gift.

For the friend who loves matcha, gift them this beautiful set for making traditional matcha at home. Each box contains a slim bamboo scoop, sized just right for prepping a single serving; a bamboo Chasen, or a tea whisk, to help create a perfectly smooth emulsion; plus a ceramic chawan, or tea bowl, for both mixing and enjoying the final masterpiece.
