2023 Holiday Gift Guide
The holiday season is here, and it’s time to start checking things off your list. You want to give a gift that’s not only thoughtful but something they’ll use often. My Cup of Tea offers tea gifts for everyone, from self-proclaimed tea connoisseurs to mocktail lovers.
For the Tea Connoisseur
If there’s someone on your list who considers themselves a tea connoisseur, they already have a host of accessories in their home. Since they drink tea often, one of the best gifts to give is delicious tea to get them through the year.
My Box of Tea Subscription
My Cup of Tea offers the best way for tea connoisseurs to get their tea fix. This subscription, or sub-SIP-tion as we like to call it, is a convenient way to have tea delivered right to your loved ones' door. Each month, two Teas for Two and four tasty Honey Spoons from Melville Candy Company are shipped directly to you in a “My Box of Tea” themed box. For gift-giving ease, we offer three length options - 3 months, 6 months, or 1 full year - and have a pay-ahead option.
Home - Lemon Ginger Oolong (Limited Edition)
This limited edition version of our Lemon Ginger Oolong tea is bursting with the freshness of citrus and the spiciness of fresh ginger. The art for this box was created by Darlene Newman, a local artist from right here in Memphis. Home is the third limited edition box created in response to our annual request for proposals from local, professional Black artists. The tea connoisseur in your life would love a limited edition version of their favorite oolong tea!
For the Tea & Treat Pairer
Sometimes tea is best served with a sweet treat, like chocolate chip cookies or ginger snaps. My Cup of Tea offers tea and treat gift sets for any type of palate.
Ginger Snaps & Ginger Fresh Tea
Fresh, fruity lemongrass and spicy ginger combine with licorice to create our Ginger Fresh Ayurvedic Herbal Tea Blend, which is then paired with zesty ginger snaps from Lark Fine Food. Caffeine-free and gluten-free, Ginger Fresh is naturally sweet and calming. When combined with hand-made, delicious ginger snaps, this tea offers an extra touch of finesse.
Cha Chas & Chai
A clash of cultures happens in this tea and cookie gift set. Traditional Masala Chai combines with delicious chocolate brownies for a sweet and spicy taste experience. Our Bluff City Chai is full of spices like ginger, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and pepper that meld to produce an intense flavor. The cookies, Mexican chocolate Cha Chas from Lark Fine Foods, are reminiscent of a brownie with hints of cinnamon and cayenne. The perfect gift for those who like a little spice with their treat.
Organic Peppermint & Peppermint Shortbread
Our delicious Organic Peppermint Herbal Tea is paired with delicious Peppermint Shortbread Cookies from Maddy’s Sweet Shop. This tea is USDA Certified Organic, caffeine-free, and gluten-free, offering the refreshing flavor of natural peppermint. It’s also the perfect tea to drink with something sweet, which is why we’ve paired it with the best powdered sugar coated, candy crunch filled cookie that’s sure to become your guilty pleasure.
For the Tea Newcomer
There may be someone on your list who isn’t sure what they want, giving you the perfect chance to introduce them to something new and exciting!
Holiday Sampler Jar
Maybe the loved ones on your list are interested in tea, but unsure how to choose their perfect cup. Fashioned similarly to our other sampler jars - the Market Sampler Jar and the Wellness Sampler Jar - this jar comes with 10 varieties of customer favorites already wrapped for the season.
Leaf-shaped Tea Infuser
For tea beginners, an infuser is the perfect way to dive into the world of loose leaf tea. This particular infuser is leaf-shaped and holds the perfect amount of tea for a cup. Available in seven vibrant colors - green, red, turquoise, fuchsia, orange, yellow, and purple - this leaf-shaped tea infuser is made of food-grade silicone and stainless steel that brews the perfect cup.
For the Memphian
If we know one thing about Memphis locals, it’s that they love Memphis. As Memphis locals ourselves, our list of favorites definitely includes our Memphis Branded Teas.
Memphis After Dark
Rich decadent chocolate combines with a cool sensation of peppermint to create this delicious rooibos tea that satisfies any dessert craving. It’s reminiscent of a thin mint cookie or peppermint patty and is naturally caffeine-free and gluten-free. The Memphis local on your list won’t be able to get enough of this dessert in a cup!
Blue Suede Shoes
For Elvis lovers, or simply those who enjoy a refreshing fruit-flavored tea, Blue Suede Shoes is the obvious gift choice. USDA Certified Organic and gluten-free, this luscious blueberry flavor is sure to climb your charts. This tea doesn’t need any sweetener, which makes it a great option for those making tea on the go or looking for a lighter option.
Porch Peach
Invite your loved one to the porch in Orange Mound for a fun conversation and a fruity sip. This rooibos tea is filled with honeybush, pineapple, papaya, peach, apricot, and rose petals to create an aromatic and flavorful tea. We’ll enjoy the sweet aroma and fruity taste either hot or iced.
