I'm a tea girl through and through. I drink tea like my coffee loving friends drink their beloved coffee. Tea has been a real life saver for me though in many ways. When I was pregnant with both my children a cup of chamomile tea would somehow calm my Crohn's flares. And if you know what a flare feels like, you know how wonderful it is to find something to decrease that pain. I have a weakened digestive system so I frequently rely on peppermint and ginger tea as a quick and effective digestive aid. To calm my nerves I love a cup of chamomile and lavender, for clarity of mind, Rooibos, and for a pick-me-up I adore a smokey green tea or Herba Mate.
I can't think of a better gift than the gift of beautiful, healing tea!
The above picture is something I quickly put together.
Total cost was about $5.
I went to my local Coop and searched through the loose-leaf teas. I found a nice middle road green tea and a herb/fruit blend. I purchased a cup or so of each and mixed together. I dressed the tea with a beautiful organic lemon and a fun stainless steel mesh tea infuser. This would be a super fun gift for the tea enthusiast or otherwise. This would also be a thoughtful gift for Mother's Day, Father's Day, or your child's teacher.
You could certainly expand on this idea and create a more involved tea gift. Here are some fun tea paraphernalia
*A jar of healing local honey
*An adorable glass tea pot
*Sweet little honey spoons
*Little glass jars for loose teas (I love these)
*Books about tea
*Herbal Tea Crates
*Infuze TeaWare
*Tea Cup Cozy

ReplyDeleteThanks Sara!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Is there a way to get blog entries emailed to me?
ReplyDeleteHi There Julie~
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Have you tried the RSS feed (top left). Let me do some research and find out more about the emailing. I know there is a way, as I receive blog updates via email from some bloggers, but I don't know how to get that going on my blog (off hand).
(stay tuned) :-)
Thanks,

Can you tell me where you could get the glass jar?
ReplyDeleteHi There,
ReplyDeleteI purchased the glass jar pictured at my local Natural Foods Coop. You could also check World Market or your local grocery store.
Good luck.
