What are the Options for Gift Baskets with Tea?

We currently offer several different options for gift baskets with tea.  You can choose from a monthly tea club subscription, where you friend, or yourself, would receive a monthly order of our organic tea.  You can choose from herbal, white, black, green, exotic or oolong.  The other option is to choose a one-time gift basket that offers the teas you choose and the accessories to brew the perfect cup.

We offer a full set of tea gift baskets for any occasion.  We can even create a custom basket that only contains the specific items your recipient likes.  You can combine black tea with green in the same basket and include accessories such as the perfect tea maker and a timer to insure perfect steeping time.  Our gift baskets are priced based upon what they contain, so you will never be paying for something in a basket that no one wants and that will never be used.

I do not know that to get in my Tea Gift Baskets

If you are not sure that the person likes, then you can order one of our pre-packaged tea gift baskets.  These include the items that are most popular with our customers and also include samples of different teas.  You can choose which samples to include, which lets you introduce your friends and family to your favorite tea without wasting an entire order on an item they may not like.

We offer several different varieties of loose-leaf oolong tea for your brewing pleasure.  You can choose anything from an aged bamboo oolong to a Wuyi Oolong that offers you a taste of the mountains in China.  No matter which type of oolong you choose, you will be able to enjoy cup after cup of this fragrant tea.  We even offer a video on how to blend the perfect cup using the ancient methods of tea preparation.

How do you prepare Oolong Tea?

The first step to preparing oolong tea is to get your water at the correct temperature.  The water should be at 200 degrees and you should be careful not to over boil the water.  This raises the temperature, which could burn the leaves and give you a bitter tasting cup.  You add one teaspoon of tea to a 12-ounce cup and let it steep for 3 to 4 minutes.  Remove the leaves before service to stop the steeping process, but do not throw them away.  They can be used two to three times, each time revealing a different flavor from the leaves.

We can create a custom basket that contains green tea gifts for you or your friends.  We can also ship it directly to any location, so you could order presents for family and friends who live anywhere in the country.  Another alternative for true tea lovers is to join our green tea club and get the benefits of a different tea every month.

Do you get Green Tea Gifts with the Green Tea Club?

The Green Tea Club sends you a different green tea every month.  You can join for either a 6-month or a 12-month cycle.  Each month, we will send you a container of one specific type of green tea.  Each container has enough tea to make between 30 and 50 cups, so you will have enough to enjoy for yourself and share with your friends.  Our prices include shipping, so there are no hidden fees.

More and more people are realizing the valuable benefits that different teas can have, which is why green tea and oolong tea are becoming so popular. Many people love to enjoy oolong loose tea, as it comes in a range of variations.
