Tea gifts

Looking for tea gift sets? Our tea gifts are packages of fresh loose-leaf tea from Café du Jour: The Herbal Four, Alternative Rooibos in four 100 g packs, Christmas Classics in three and the Festive Duo in two. Not sure what they like to drink? With a Café du Jour Gift Card by Post they choose for themselves.

Our tea gift sets

Each set combines several teas from the Café du Jour range in one package, so the recipient can taste their way through them:

The Herbal Four Fresh Tea Package: a set of four herbal teas
Alternative Rooibos: fresh loose tea, 4 x 100 g
Christmas Classics: loose tea, 3 x 100 g
Festive Duo: loose tea, 2 x 100 g
Café du Jour Gift Card by Post: for when you would rather let them choose

Which set suits whom?

Herbal teas and rooibos are not made from the tea plant, so they contain no caffeine. That makes The Herbal Four and Alternative Rooibos a good choice for someone who likes a cup in the evening, or who drinks little or no caffeine. Rooibos is also forgiving: it does not turn bitter when it steeps a little longer, which suits anyone new to loose tea.

Christmas Classics and the Festive Duo are made for the festive season. The duo is the smaller of the two, handy as a Secret Santa present or as a little extra with a card; Christmas Classics gives a bit more to try.

If you do not know someone's taste, or you want to give a larger amount without picking the teas yourself, the gift card is the safe option.

Loose-leaf tea as a present

Loose-leaf tea has room to unfold in the water, and you can adjust the strength by using a little more or less. To brew it, the recipient needs a teapot with a strainer, an infuser or a filter. If they do not have one yet, add a tea strainer or another piece of tea equipment to the gift.

A few tips worth passing on with the present:

Herbal tea and rooibos are brewed with freshly boiled water.
Follow the steeping time on the pack and taste as you go.
Keep loose tea in a closed tin or pouch, away from light and strong smells such as coffee or spices.

Frequently asked questions about tea gift sets

Loose tea or tea bags as a gift?

Loose tea is preferred by tea lovers because it has a richer flavour, while tea bags are more convenient for everyday use. For a gift, choose loose tea and consider adding a tea strainer so the recipient can use it straight away.

What is a tea letterbox gift?

A tea letterbox gift is a package that fits through the letterbox, so the recipient does not need to be at home for delivery. It is a practical option for long-distance surprises or when you want to surprise someone without them expecting it.

What goes well with tea as a gift?

Tea goes well with chocolate, biscuits, honey or a pretty teacup. A tea strainer or teapot is also a nice addition, turning a simple tea gift into a complete treat.

What are nice gifts to accompany tea?

Good tea gift ideas include a tea sampler, a gift set with accessories, a luxury selection of teas or a letterbox gift. Add a personal card for an extra warm message.
