Top 5 Coffee Gifts
1) Cold Brew Tea Gift Set

Make your afternoon tea an iced one with a cold brew tea gift set. Cold brewing is a slow and gentle way to infuse tea that creates more intense flavors and aromas. This set has everything you need to brew your own at home, including organic and orthodox loose leaf teas. This means the tea is hand-picked and processed according to traditional practices and it is all sourced from small-scale, non-industrial tea farms. Brewing is easy—just steep the tea overnight in the container, strain, and enjoy.
2) Floral Lotus Tisane & Teapot

Transform the age-old ritual of making tea. These dried tea flowers are actual lotus buds sourced from a monastery on one of China’s holy mountains. Their golden honey aroma evolves into a subtle, more herbal taste and fragrance as you drink. This kit includes a beautiful glass teapot with a wire filter that lets you enjoy the aesthetics, and eight to twelve lotus flower tisanes (each good for up to two infusions).
3) Universal Cold Brew Coffee Filter

A cold brew coffee filter that fits in your existing water bottle means coffee to-go is more accessible and affordable than ever—you brew and sip all in one. No need for heat, it takes a minute to set up and then steeps while you sleep. Made of food-grade stainless steel and BPA-free silicone, it adjusts to your bottle’s height, is durable, and dishwasher safe.
4) Personal Teapot & Cup Set

Tea for two? More like personal tea party for one. This simple and sophisticated teapot and cup set is made up of a compact brewing pot with a built-in strainer and a lid that pulls double duty as a cup. The modern-looking set is sized to brew one steep of tea and is a great gift for tea lovers who don’t feel like sharing, but do feel like making the next cup extra special.
