Friends Don’t Let Friends Give Boring Party Favors
Tea party favors perfect for weddings, bridal showers, baby showers, rehearsal dinners, holiday gatherings, and tea-themed parties — any occasion where you want a favor that fits on a place setting, travels home without damage, and gets used more than once.
What Makes Our Tea Party Favors Special?
- Bee's Knees Honeybush (7 jars): Honeybush tea. Caffeine-free, naturally sweet with notes of honey and toasted warmth. Single ingredient — honeybush tea leaves.
- Raven Earl Grey with Lavender (6 jars): Organic black tea, organic lavender, and natural oil of bergamot. Bright bergamot with a lavender finish. Caffeinated.
- 3-4 cups per jar: Enough tea for multiple steeps — not a single-use sample.
- Glass jars and muslin bags: Glass protects the tea and gets reused. Muslin bags get a second life after the tea is gone — machine washable.
- Arrive ready to give: Each jar comes in its muslin bag. Set at place settings, drop in welcome bags, or arrange in a basket by the door.
- Baker's dozen: 13 favors for the price of 12 — one extra for the host or a last-minute guest.
Thirteen favors crossed off the list in one order — two teas, one cohesive presentation, nothing to assemble.
How to Use: Steep Bee's Knees at 200°F for 5-7 minutes — no bitterness, naturally sweet on its own. Steep Raven at 200°F for 3-4 minutes and add milk or honey if you like. Each jar holds enough for 3-4 cups. The glass jars seal well for storage; the muslin bags stick around long after the tea is gone.

Tea Party Favor Set (13 favors) FAQs
What occasions are these tea favors made for?
Weddings, bridal showers, baby showers, rehearsal dinners, holiday gatherings, tea-themed parties, corporate events, milestone birthdays. Anywhere you want a favor that fits on a place setting, travels home without damage, and gets used more than once. Each jar holds 3-4 cups of tea, so guests aren't getting a single-use sample. They're getting a Sunday morning two weeks after your event, plus a muslin bag and a glass jar that stick around long after the tea runs out.
Why two teas, and what's the difference between them?
Two teas covers the caffeine split most events need. Bee's Knees Honeybush is caffeine-free, naturally sweet, with honey notes and toasted warmth. Pregnant guests, kids, evening-event guests, and anyone avoiding caffeine can drink it without thinking. Raven Earl Grey with Lavender is caffeinated organic black tea with bergamot and lavender, a dressed-up Earl Grey for the morning or afternoon tea crowd. The set comes with seven Bee's Knees and six Raven, so most guests get a choice.
Do the favors arrive ready to set out, or is there setup involved?
Ready to set out. Each glass jar arrives already nested in its muslin bag, labeled, sealed, and protected for transit. No assembly required on your end. Place them at place settings, drop them in welcome bags, arrange them in a basket by the door, or stack them on the gift table. The presentation works in clusters or one per seat. Whatever your event calls for, the favors hold their shape and don't need fluffing before guests arrive.
What if I'm hosting more or fewer than 13 guests?
For larger events, order multiple sets. Two sets cover up to twenty-six guests, three sets up to thirty-nine, and so on. The baker's dozen format means you always get one extra per set, useful for last-minute additions or for keeping one for yourself. For smaller events, the extras work as a host gift, a thank-you for the photographer, or stashed for a later occasion. The teas keep well sealed in the glass jars for months.
What is honeybush tea and what does it taste like?
Honeybush is a caffeine-free herbal tea made from the Cyclopia plant, which grows in the mountainous fynbos regions of South Africa's Western Cape. The name comes from the plant's bright yellow flowers, which smell honey-like when they bloom. The cup brews golden, with notes of caramel, molasses, and a hint of toasted nuttiness. It's naturally sweet without sugar or honey added, and low in tannins, so it doesn't go bitter even if you steep it long.
What does Raven Earl Grey taste like?
Classic Earl Grey with a softer landing. The organic black tea base is bold and full-bodied. Natural bergamot oil brings the bright, citrusy floral note that defines Earl Grey. The twist is the organic lavender, which comes in at the end of the sip as a finishing note, not the lead. Together the cup tastes like Earl Grey with a quiet, slightly poetic ending. Three ingredients, no artificial flavors, no dyes, nothing added for shelf appeal.
How far in advance should I order tea party favors?
Each favor is hand-packaged to order at our Owings Mills, Maryland facility, and production takes 3 to 5 business days before the order ships. For an event with a fixed date on the calendar, order at least two weeks ahead to allow for production plus ground shipping. Earlier is better if there's a seating chart involved. Made-to-order means the tea is fresh when it ships, not sitting in a warehouse waiting to be dispatched.
