Tea makes a fantastic gift for birthdays and holidays for just about anybody, but if you're shopping for a self-proclaimed tea-lover (teaist, tea connoisseur, tea hobbyist, tea master, etc.) then the choice to buy them tea can be a bit risky, especially if you know less about tea than they do. The last thing you want to do is buy a gift that remains tucked away in a cupboard, unused and growing stale.
As a tea vendor, some of my 'favourite' questions gift-shopping customers have asked me include, "What's a really good tea?" and "What should I get someone who likes tea?" Even if the person you're shopping for 'loves' tea it doesn't mean that they like the same tea as I do. Don't let this dissuade you, one of the reasons why we love the ceremony of gift-giving is to see our loved ones smile when they get something that they really, really like. With just a little bit of effort (and some help from our guide) you can get the perfect tea gift. Here's how.
