You’ve decided to share your love of tea with your friends and family. But how do you know what kinds of tea they’ll like? Here’s an easy guide based on their personality:
The Adventurer
Loves strong flavors like barbecued meats, scotch, and coffee.
The smoky notes of Lapsang Souchong are sure to wow you with an expected scent reminiscent of a campfire. It pairs well with chili and other spicy foods.
The Connoisseur
Has a refined sense of taste and enjoys the finer things in life.
Handpicked silver needles make this Jasmine Scented Chinese Silver Needles White Tea a special treat. One must taste this tea to appreciate the amount of work required to enhance the flavor of the tea with the aroma of freshly plucked jasmine blooms. The tips of thousands of tea plants are needed to make a single pound of this exceptional tea.
The Artist
Appreciates beauty and things made by hand.
Our Flowering Teas Sampler includes 4-6 lovely hand-tied tea blossoms. Brew them in a clear glass to watch their blooms reveal dried flowers and special formations.
The Free Spirit
Loves to have fun and enjoys trying new, unusual things.
Children and adults love our Bright Berry Tisane, which combines grapes, currants, hibiscus, and elderberries for a tasty brew full of antioxidants.
The Environmentalist
Wants what’s best for the earth and the body.
Our Organic Rooibos meets USDA Organic standards and is naturally rich in minerals and antioxidants. It’s a healthy alternative to sports drinks to rehydrate you after a long workout or pilates class.
The Therapist
Is always calm, supportive, and willing to listen.
Ideal to meditate on a quiet afternoon or relax before bed, Mint Chamomile makes the perfect cup to unwind after a tough day. Like your calm friend, it’s impossible to overbrew, no matter how long it stays in hot water.
