Family

When it comes to gift ideas for families, we think the perfect gift is a tea chest that can be passed down to future generations, along with the memories of selecting teas from the chests and sharing them together.

• Heirloom Tea Chest. Our bamboo version gives a slightly modern twist on a classic tea chest. Comes filled with nine types of teas for a total of 90 tea bags.
