Tea is a great beverage for any occasion and there are so many options to choose from. Whether served hot or cold, tea is always a refreshing and comforting drink for any season. In my quest to become a true tea snob, I have stumbled upon many products that make drinking tea even more enjoyable. Here is a list of my must-haves for your next tea party.
- Bodum Tea Press
-
Have you ever heard of French pressed coffee? Luckily, the same tool exists for tea drinkers! Ever since becoming a fan of loose leaf tea over tea bags, I have been looking for a great tea diffuser. This tea press acts as a diffuser and teapot all in one. In addition, it even prevents your tea from becoming bitter while steeping!
- David’s Tea Tumbler
-
This tumbler has been a favorite ever since the brand David’s Tea came out with them. Not only does it have a beautiful rainbow holographic finish, but it is also perfect for both hot and cold teas.
- Samovar Tea
-
My personal favorite tea that I have ever made at home is Samovar Tea’s Masala Chai. This is the perfect spicy loose leaf chai for every season. Chai lattes made with this tea never disappoint. I like to have mine with frothed half and half, a bit of maple syrup to sweeten and a dash of cinnamon on top.
- Desk Tea Warmer
-
A cup of tea often helps me get through a long night of school work, but I find that sometimes my tea cools too fast. This is why I bought a tea warming coaster for my desk. I found mine on Amazon. I recommend buying one that automatically shuts off when the mug is picked up, and make sure to unplug it when not in use.
- ‘Sips by’ personalized tea box
-
As a present for my most recent birthday, some of my friends bought me a three-month subscription for a “Sips by” personalized tea box. It was a super fun experience taking the online tea quiz and receiving my boxes in the mail. The best thing about this subscription is that it picks teas from many different brands, making it possible to discover new favorites. This subscription box is the perfect gift for the tea lover in your life or a great way to treat yourself!
