Seriously, who doesn’t just love a fun subscription box? Every month you get a box with samples of all your favorite stuff. It’s so much fun.
If you’re a tea lover, or have a tea loving loved one, a tea subscription box is just perfect. It allows you to sample different kinds of teas from all over the world.
Plus, tea is a great way to help calm your nerves, especially during the holidays (read: holiday self care)! It has a lot of health benefits and is perfect to curl up in a warm blanket and sip a hot cup of tea while journaling (or doing whatever makes you feel good).
But before we get to the subscription boxes, you may want to be sure you have the accessories you need!
Tea Accessories
Many of the tea subscription boxes below contain loose leaf tea as the freshness and flavor is typically superior to pre-packaged tea. If you go with one of these, you may want to consider purchasing these:
- tea filters – this is like making your own tea bag with the loose tea. These filters are disposable and biodegradable.
- tea strainer – a tea strainer is typically a metal mesh dish with a lid that you can place your loose tea in then place it in your cup. It’s rinse-able and re-usable.
- tea tumbler – a tumbler with a mesh strainer (much like the one above) so you can make your tea in a to-go container.
- tea pot – if you’re making tea for more than one, a tea pot is a great option.
