Tea Gifts
For the Friend With a Drawer Full of Tea Bags
These are tea gifts for tea lovers and the people about to become one. Loose leaf blends in glass jars, sorted by how someone actually drinks tea: hot in the evening, cold all summer, shaken into a cocktail. Some sets add honey, a candle, or a box of honey candy. All of them arrive boxed and ready to hand over.
Open a jar of Raven and you can see the lavender buds sitting in the black tea. Open Blue Butterfly, pour the water, and the cup goes blue. Squeeze in a little lemon and it turns purple. Loose leaf does that. Tea dust in a paper bag does not.
Every tea gift set here starts with our loose leaf blends in glass jars, and every label lists what’s inside, how much to use, and how hot the water should be. The Mixologist’s Tea Set exists because a Baltimore bartender kept ordering Blue Butterfly, Midnight Berry, and Raven together for a menu she was building. The Iced Tea Set is made for the pitcher in the fridge. Others pair tea with the honey that goes in it.
We blend and pack the tea in Owings Mills, Maryland, in the same facility where we jar our honey. That honey is minimally filtered and comes from beekeepers we know by name: Linden Basswood, Lavender, or Blueberry Blossom, depending on the set. A few gifts go past the cup with a hand-poured soy candle or a box of honey candy.
People give these to the coworker with a kettle at her desk, the host who already has plenty of wine, the dad still drinking grocery-store bags. Then the jars get refilled, or they end up holding pens and cotton swabs on someone’s counter.
Jars You Can See Into
Every blend comes in a glass jar, so you can see the petals, peels, and leaves before the lid comes off. The lid reseals, and the empty jar usually finds a second job on a desk or a bathroom shelf.
Instructions on Every Label
Each jar lists what’s inside, how much to use, and how hot the water should be. Nobody has to guess, including the person who has never brewed loose leaf before.
Honey That Belongs in the Cup
Several sets pair tea with a jar of our minimally filtered honey, jarred by hand in Owings Mills. Each label says exactly what the bees were visiting.
Something Without Caffeine
The black teas bring real caffeine for mornings. The honeybush and rooibos blends have none, so the tea drinker who puts the kettle on at 9 p.m. is covered too.
Wrapped By Hand In Maryland
Add gift wrapping, leave your note in the order, and we wrap it in Owings Mills before it ships.
Tea Gift Sets FAQs
Something they wouldn’t buy for themselves: loose leaf in place of bags, a blend they haven’t tried, and the honey to go with it. Our tea gift sets group teas by how people drink them, so you can choose by habit instead of guessing at flavors.
Most hold three jars of loose leaf tea built around one idea: cold brewing, cocktails, or the evening cup. Others add honey, a soy candle, or honey candy. Every product page lists the exact contents.
Loose leaf, every time. You’ll want a strainer, an infuser, or a French press. Each jar lists how much tea to use and how hot the water should be.
Yes. Blends built on honeybush or rooibos, like Bee’s Knees, have no caffeine. The black teas, like Raven, do.

Yes. Add gift wrapping and leave your note and any instructions in the order. We wrap it by hand before it ships.
Several can, and the Iced Tea Set is chosen for it. Put two tablespoons of loose leaf in a pitcher of cold water, refrigerate it overnight, and strain it in the morning.
