Swell Gifts for Tea Lovers

Ranked #15,234 in Food & Cooking, #267,981 overall

Welcome to my Gift Guide for Tea Enthusiasts!

I have grown into a real lover of tea as I've gotten older. I can only say that there's something about sitting down in the morning before the day gets cookin' and having a nice cup of hot tea. It's relaxing and helps me get focused on what I need to do for that day. It's represents a little slice of time, just for me!

But, I don't stop there, I will have a couple more cups of tea throughout the day. There are so many varieties and flavors to choose from. And it's cheap! No need to go out and buy that 5 dollar cup of coffee or tea. Your local grocery store has a huge variety of really great teas - all for just pennies!

If you want to get a little more adventurous, you can order tea online, or find it in specialty tea shops found in most malls and quaint shopping areas.

But not only that, tea offers a huge number of health benefits. For example tea has been known to aid in the prevention of cancer and cardiovascular disease. Tea leaves contain flavanoids, amino acids, and vitamins (C, E and K), to name a few of the benefits closely related to human health.

This gift guide is for all tea lovers and their tea-drinking buddies. I bet you could even convert your hard-core coffee friends with some of these gifts. Enjoy!

Three Cups of Tea

If you haven't read it, then pour yourself a cup and start reading...

Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time

Amazon Price: $0.91 (as of 06/03/2012)Buy Now

This book has been around for a while now, but it's a classic and a must read. The three cups of tea signify a moment in the day when one needs to take time and sit down to share ideas with another person (culture) over tea. Although this is a simplified explanation, the analogy is not lost on me. A true life experience of one man's goal to bring education to the far corners of our world and how he accomplished that. Beautifully written and well worth the time and tea it takes to read it.

All About Green Tea

Green tea is usually the beverage of choice by most tea lovers. Loose green teas are scented with flowers and mixed with fruits to create a wide variety of flavors. One cup of green tea only has 5-10% of the caffeine found in one cup of coffee. And they contain healthy antioxidants. It's good for maintaining a healthy blood sugar level and cholesterol levels. It's even good for your skin and teeth!

All About Black Tea

Black tea is the most common tea used. It's great for making pitchers of iced tea- leave a bunch of tea bags in a large glass container in the sun for a few hours! Pour over ice and Voila! A beautiful iced tea for those hot days. Black tea is fully fermented, so it has approximately 20% of the caffeine in a cup of coffee. Black tea is great for getting your cholesterol balanced and helps to maintain cardiovascular function and a healthy circulatory system.
