Tea Gift Categories

Loose Leaf Tea Gifts

The core of the collection. Loose leaf tea gift sets pair whole-leaf tea blends with decorative packaging designed for the occasion - birthdays, holidays, Mother's Day, Father's Day, housewarmings, and more. Every set contains full-leaf tea that brews a genuinely better cup than anything in a grocery store teabag. Loose leaf tea gifts start at $9 and represent some of the best value in the entire gift catalog.

Tea Bag Gift Sets

For recipients who prefer the convenience of a teabag without sacrificing quality, Adagio's pyramid teabag gift sets are the answer. Full-leaf blends pre-portioned into spacious pyramid bags - no infuser, no measuring, no cleanup. Teabag gift sets are particularly well suited for kids, office gifts, and anyone new to gourmet tea. Starting at $9.

Tea Samplers

45 loose leaf tea samplers organized by type, origin, season, and flavor. Each set contains four full-leaf packets - enough to brew 5–10 cups per packet - making samplers one of the most exploration-friendly tea gifts in the catalog. Starting at $12, they're ideal for anyone who wants to discover new teas without committing to a full-size pouch.

Flavor Trilogy Tea Gift Sets

Three full-leaf teas built around a single flavor theme - peach, Earl Grey, chai, vanilla, raspberry, blueberry, strawberry, and orange are all available. Flavor Trilogy sets are the right gift when you know someone's favorite flavor profile but want to show them how much range exists within it. Starting at $14.

Tea Starter Sets

The ideal premium tea gift for someone new to loose leaf tea. Each starter set bundles a curated tea selection with the right brewing tool - paper filters for the simplest introduction, the ingenuiTEA bottom-dispensing teapot for a more satisfying brewing experience, or the SimpliciTEA infuser mug for everyday single-cup brewing. Starting at $14.

Horoscope Tea Gifts

Loose leaf tea blends crafted for every astrology sign - flavor profiles chosen to reflect the personality traits of each sign, packaged for gifting. All 12 western astrology signs are available alongside Chinese astrology blends. Horoscope tea gifts are among the most personal tea gifts in the catalog, and at $10 each they're an accessible option for almost any occasion.

Tea Candles

Five tea-scented candles - green tea, jasmine, vanilla, masala chai, and peppermint - at $12 each. Work well as standalone gifts or bundled with a loose leaf set for a more complete tea-themed present. The jasmine and vanilla candles are consistent bestsellers as add-on gifts.

Custom Tea Gift Box

For the gift that feels truly personal, Adagio's custom gift box lets you hand-pick the teas, teaware, and accessories that go inside. No pre-set selections, no compromises. Build exactly the right combination for whoever you're shopping for.

Tea Mystery Box

A curated surprise - seasonal blends, new releases, and specialty teas handpicked by Adagio's team. The Tea Mystery Box is the right gift for anyone who trusts Adagio's taste and wants to be surprised rather than choosing their own selection.

Tea Gift Cards

When you'd rather let the recipient choose, an Adagio tea gift card puts the entire catalog at their fingertips. Physical cards are packaged for the occasion - Appreciation, Celebration, Love, Holidays, and Good Taste designs available. Digital gift certificates deliver instantly by email. No expiration dates, no restrictions.

Tea of the Month Club

The premium tea gift that keeps delivering. Adagio's Tea of the Month Club sends five curated loose leaf tea samples to the recipient every month - popular teas at $19/month, decaf at $16/month, and gourmet single-origin teas at $28/month. Save 10% with a 6-month subscription or 15% with a full year.
