Christmas has a way of turning the smallest comforts into something quietly sacred. The glow of late afternoons, the clink of china and that slow, generous unfurling of steam from a freshly poured cup. These are the little ceremonies that make the season feel like home.
For tea lovers especially, December is a month of rituals: moments to pause, to warm the hands, to let a favourite brew linger a little longer than usual. And that's the spirit in which the best gifts are chosen, not grand gestures, but thoughtful things that deepen the daily pleasure of a cup of tea.
Here are some festive favourites to make any tea enthusiast feel thoroughly cherished.
Loose Leaf Tea Favourites
Loose leaf tea is at its most enchanting in December. Flavours bloom more generously, the rituals linger longer, and each pot becomes an invitation to sit a while. For those who enjoy loose leaf tea, these gifts are perfect additions for under the tree.
Wellness Loose Leaf Collection
A thoughtful Christmas gift for anyone who favours calm, comfort and a touch of wellbeing amid the bustle. The Wellness Loose Leaf Collection brings together three naturally caffeine-free infusions, each with its own gentle character, ideal for restoring balance when the days are full and the calendar even fuller.
Gifted as a trio, it includes our Healthy & Harmony, Rest & Restore and Vanilla Rooibos. It feels wonderfully at home in December, yet its true charm is that it carries on beautifully into January and beyond, a small, steady sanctuary after the feasting and festivities. Three ways to be well, three invitations to slow down, long after the last decorations have been packed away.
Spiced Orange Christmas Tea Jar
This is Christmas in a teapot. Rich Assam leaves, blended with warming spices and bright citrus peel, create a tea both lively and comforting. Notes of cinnamon, ginger, and clove unfold gently against the depth of black tea, while rose petals and cardamom add a soft, fragrant finish.
Our Spiced Orange Christmas tea is the sort of tea you brew when friends come in rosy-cheeked from the cold, or when you want the house to smell like celebration. The jar makes a wonderful gift in its own right, and once opened, it’s impossible not to feel a little more festive.
Accessories for Better Brewing
A beautiful tea accessory is the kind of present that will be reached for again and again. These are the quiet heroes of the tea tray: practical, beautifully made and full of quiet charm.
Alessi Timepiece Tea Infuser
Resembling a pocket watch, the Alessi Timepiece Infuser brings a dash of elegance to tea time. Crafted in stainless steel, it’s perfect for those who love loose leaf tea, but appreciate a simple tidy brew, especially on a brisk December morning.
A splendid stocking gift, and one that turns the quickest cup into a small occasion.
Nkuku Antique Brass Leaf Spoon Gift Set
Elegant and charming, this Nkuku Antique Brass Leaf Spoon Gift Set carries a pretty woodland theme that feels made for winter. With its antique brass finish, each spoon makes measuring tea feel like part of the ceremony. A perfect addition to any kitchen, and a particularly lovely companion to a new jar of loose leaf tea.
When Tea Bags Make Sense
Even devoted loose-leaf drinkers are grateful for a little ease during the Christmas whirl. The right tea bag offers convenience without compromise, ideal for busy festive mornings, visiting relatives, or a quick restorative cup between celebrations.
Blue Lady Tea Bag Jar
This is a splendid Christmas gift for anyone who wants a truly lovely cup without any fuss during the festive rush, the ease of a tea bag, yet with all the flavour of loose leaf. The biodegradable pyramid bags allow the tea to open and breathe fully, so even between the mince pies and fun, the brew feels generous, warming and quietly luxurious.
Blue Lady is one of our bestsellers, and a seasonal delight to give. A fragrant blend of black tea, grapefruit and floral notes, it brings a bright, elegant lift to winter mornings and afternoon gatherings alike. The glass jar looks beautiful under the tree, and the tea inside tastes even better.
