Make Your Own Bubble Tea With This DIY Kit
Tea is one of the oldest beverages in the world, dating back to at least 2700 BCE. According to a Chinese legend, Emperor Shen Nong accidentally discovered it when boiling water in his garden. A leaf fell in the pot from a wild tree and infused the water. He enjoyed it so much that he continued to research it and eventually discovered the drink's medicinal properties. But it wasn't until the Tang Dynasty a few thousand years later that tea became popular.
Since then, tea has taken over. It's more varied now than ever: From bitter Japanese green tea to sweet tea in the American South, tea's many forms prove that it has something to offer everyone.
This list is filled with tea-themed presents for all the tea lovers in your life, whether they're beginners or completely tea-obsessed. From the basics (tea, kettles, mugs, infusers, etc.) to gadgets (tea warmers, tea-infused soaps, and so on) to merch that shows off their tea-drinking lifestyle (T-shirts, enamel pins, tea-themed art, and the like), these gifts are just the thing for any tea drinker.
