Best coffee & tea gifts according to redditors

Apparently, it is an actual real tea

I just want him to buy the shit I ASKED him to buy me for Valentine's Day (which is also our wedding anniversary) back in Feb:

This Autism mom tank top

This special unicorn tea

and of course, a tea strainer to go with it, natch.

I am not the OP, but here are a few of my suggestions: iphone case with a yorkie on it? A cute yorkie sweater?

A tea gift set that will get you an overwhelming amount of results on amazon. They have this tea that is flower and leaves tied together in a little bundle and you put it in this glass tea pitcher and it blooms. I got it a few years ago and it was pretty neat to check out. http://www.amazon.com/Numi-Organic-Flowering-Handcrafted-Mahogany/dp/B000FFIL92/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417715652&sr=8-1&keywords=tea+gift+set

This is a tea around the world set because of travelling-http://www.amazon.com/Tea-Forte-Single-Steeps-Sampler/dp/B008DVCAU6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1417715895&sr=8-2&keywords=tea+around+the+world

This yorkie tea cup is cute!!! I am not into that keep calm fade, but I like this. http://www.amazon.com/Large-Bistro-Ceramic-Coffee-Yorkies/dp/B00MI6I1DW/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1417715951&sr=8-9&keywords=yorkie+tea

You could get her some American snacks that people serve with tea like cookies and that sort of thing. I don't have any suggestions of what kinds of cookies or American snacks unrelated to tea?

I'd avoid the teabags to be honest. This guy won't let you down.

You might want to get a vacuum flask then and make your coffee at home and refill it during your break times. Or, if your office have a hot water fountain, you can try the 1-cup coffee bags

Before bed, I love Sleepytime tea. All four of these are great

Bittersweet is easy! Many teas are naturally a little bitter, and there's a reason why it's common to add sugar (or honey). I'd stay away from the darker teas here, but a basic oolong tea is going to be light and a little bitter. I drink this one regularly, but there's plenty of other alternatives. Green teas are also going to be a good choice here, though I don't know them well. If you want something with a little extra body, try a Genmai Cha, which is a green tea with toasted rice added.

Fruity is also easy, but I may be the wrong person to ask here; the only fruity teas I get into tend to be tangy. That said, virtually any fruit or berry can be turned into a tea, and I'd wager all of them have. In my experience you can find fruit teas in two major categories, standard teas with fruit added and teas that are literally just fruit; the former generally include caffeine, the latter don't.

(Caffeine rule of thumb: black teas have caffeine, green teas have a little caffeine, if it doesn't actually have tea leaves in it, it contains no caffeine.)

Most tea vendors online have a "sample" option that gives you enough tea for half a dozen cups at a very low price. If you're just experimenting with teas, picking up half a dozen to a dozen samples is a pretty good way to start. I'm linking to Upton because I buy most of my teas from them and I know their samples are good - they often include a free sample or two in the box just for fun, in fact - but there's plenty of other good tea vendors online.

Finally, here's the tea snob in me; you know teabags? Teabags suck. They're more expensive and lower quality and have less variety. You get the absolute lowest-quality tea in them, pay a premium for the bag, and your options are sharply limited. I strongly recommend picking up a tea infuser which makes looseleaf teas both easy and convenient to brew. If you're just experimenting with teas and don't want to put out the money for the infuser, there's cheaper solutions, but IMO they're more awkward and annoying and also don't provide as good of a result if you're dealing with a tea that seriously rehydrates.

And note that looseleaf teas have to be kept in a reasonably airtight and opaque container. Most vendors will sell you teas either in a competently-made tea tin or at least a resealable pouch - everything Upton sells you will show up sensibly packed - but you can't always guarantee that. I bought this set a while back and the first thing I did was move them into resealable tea tins (sold by Upton, natch.)

Now you know more than you wanted to about tea :)

this one looks way better though for the price and selection: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Stash-Tea-Autumn-Teas-Count/dp/B0046KO7JA/ref=pd_sim_sbs_grocery_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0C3RJ7D2EY7A16JJVYTX

This Especially since the first trimester can be kind of yucky Also, some nice silky Pj's and maybe size up, even when I was preggo in the dead of winter, I would get so freaking hot when I slept. I still remember the morning I woke up after getting silk pj's....I felt like a new woman!

David's "Ultimate Tea Infuser" is nice because spent leaves are easy to dislodge -- a good upside-down tap and most of the leaves come out, instead of sticking to the sides, as they can do with an infuser made of a perforated material. My only complaint is that, like a lot of infusers, the basket is too small for the leaves to swirl around much during brewing.

Were you aware that it also comes as a flavored syrup?! It also comes as a liquid coffee.

Okay based on that I'm going to suggest a few things you could add to your wish list. I promise I won't be offended if you don't like them, but you might find something you're interested in. :)

Tea things:

First for cute tea things, I highly recommend the flowering tea pot I received it as an Arbitrary Day gift and it's awesome. The teas are delicious and most importantly, to me, the tea pot is sooo cute.

Mana Tea infuser a lot of people have this on their wish lists. I should add it to mine too.

Tea Sampler There are several samplers with different types of tea from this company and a bunch of others. You should look around for sure.

Hello Kitty Stuff:

Add on Hello Kitty alarm clock

This Hello Kitty toy It's adorable.

it was quite good. There was another brand of tea that had it too actually but it was a winter flavor :/ this is the bigelow one and this is the other one wow i just realized they are both bigelow lololol

this is not with amazon pantry, however this available on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Bean-Box-Seattle-Gourmet-Sampler/dp/B00UGK4S3Y/ref=sr_1_6_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1456955270&sr=8-6&keywords=coffee+bean+box
The Bean Box, sample pack from roasters in Seattle. Rotating selections and you can get new variety every month.

Here's my go-to gift for a chick I don't know what else to give. They're these cool herbal tea "flowers" that open up when you put 'em in water.

this looks pretty good

Assuming they are not grinding themselves and just using the old Mr. Coffee, I'd get one of those "gourmet" flavored coffee gift sets. Most grocery stores sell these during the holidays. Here is an example

For ground grocery store coffee, Cafe Bustelo has a surprising amount of flavor.

Some specialty shops will pregrind coffee for you. Personally I like Starbucks and think their coffee is good if you're looking for something in between the grocery store and small time roasters. I've been drinking their Christmas blend since it came out this year and quite like it. It's a dark roast sumatra blend.

I recommend against getting something premium, especially whole bean, because a basic drip maker isn't really going to bring out the flavor of these beans and they probably won't be worth the added cost over just putting something like Cafe Bustelo in your maker.

However, Mistobox is a pretty good online vendor that sells gift subscriptions and carries coffee from a wide variety of specialty roasters. You can browse by roast and find a dark roast that you think will sound good to them.

Cool! Even better, I found something that I'm going to be getting for my fiancee. :D (And yes, I'll be using your affiliate tag.)
