Hot or iced, caffeinated or herbal, with milk or without, there is nothing quite as relaxing or invigorating as a cup of tea. The truest tea lovers know that is so much more than just a cozy drink—tea has been a social, cultural, and even spiritual staple for centuries (research notes that the birth of tea culture occurred in China in 2737 BC). It is also the most consumed beverage in the world, not including water.
One of the most joyful parts of tea culture is the number of options—flavors, scents, herbs, origins, brands, brewing methods, and gadgets—there are to explore. For the aficionados in the room, there can never be enough products to sample, sip, and reap the soothe-inducing benefits from. Same goes for those just learning to love tea, though this group could likely benefit from a bit more assistance in building out a trusty brewing arsenal. Either way, we’ve got you covered.
Whether you’re a tea newbie or a seasoned expert, we’ve roundup up some of the best gifts for tea lovers below, including the teas themselves plus affordable tea-making gadgets and serving tools. Best part? Everything on the list is $50 or less.
