The Gift of Tea

I was recently given several tea related gifts.

  • Four square white ceramic teabag rests
  • A chest filled with Bentley teabags
  • Bonjour Harmony Glass Teapot

The tea chest is an attractive wooden box painted to look as if it is made out of bamboo and with a nice latch on it. Opening it is a joy as rich aromas waft out from the six varieties of Ceylon tea inside: Peach, English Breakfast, Raspberry, Orange Spice, Earl Grey, and Green Tea. There are ten of each flavor.

The teapot has been an absolute delight so far. It includes the wooden trivet and scoop shown in the image, and comes with instructions to use five scoops for a full pot. The built in infuser has such a fine mesh that hardly any fannings (tea dust) made it through, and there was enough room for even oolong leaves to expand for the maximum flavor. The great thing about glass teapots is that it allows the tea enthusiast to fully appreciate the color of the liquor. It also goes perfectly with my Trendglas Tea Warmer, available from Teavana.

Comments

Giving tea as gift is a great idea, but the problem is the person received the gift has to love and appreciate tea. I have given one tea gift before and it's not even unwrapped for a year when I returned to visit him. From now on, only give tea gift to those who you know that will only appreaciate it.
This is a nice post, help me get something off my chest...
