Tea Gift Sets

How to choose a tea gift set?

A great tea gift set is chosen like a fragrance: with the person in mind, not the box. To find the perfect gift from our range, three questions are usually all it takes.

Do they drink tea every day, or just occasionally?

For an occasional drinker or a newcomer to tea, variety is key: a selection of classic flavours and herbal infusions, easy to brew, with something for everyone. For a true tea lover, go for single-origin teas: fewer varieties, but leaves worth lingering over, as an experience in their own right.

With or without caffeine?

Green tea, black tea and white tea all contain caffeine, making them perfect companions for the day. Rooibos and fruit or herbal infusions are naturally caffeine-free and can be enjoyed right up until bedtime. If you're unsure, a set that blends teas and infusions covers every moment. For an expectant mother, a child or anyone sensitive to caffeine, a herbal infusion gift set or a selection of indulgent infusions is always the safest choice.

Loose-leaf or tea bags?

All our gift sets are loose-leaf tea sets. Whole leaves, real pieces of fruit and spices have room to fully open in the water, giving you a more aromatic cup and the freedom to brew it just the way you like. All you need is a teapot with a strainer, a tea infuser or a few fillable tea bags. If the recipient doesn't have any of these, add a small tea accessory and the gift is complete.

Which gift set for which occasion?

• Christmas and the festive season: spiced teas and infusions, perfect for sharing with family.
• A birthday or Mother's Day: a varied or indulgent selection, a gift that never misses.
• A wedding or housewarming: a thoughtful, original gift to share over a pot of tea for two.
• A thank-you or retirement gift: single-origin teas, to mark the occasion in style.
• A gift to yourself: the pleasure of tasting several blends before finding your favourite.

Frequently asked questions about tea gift sets

Which gift set is best for a complete beginner?
A set that blends fruity flavors, Earl Grey and herbal infusions, like our Coffret Découverte, works beautifully. The blends are easy to brew and very different from one another, so you quickly discover what you enjoy.

Is there an organic tea gift set?
Yes. Our Coffret Grands Crus and our Coffret Detox are made entirely from organically grown teas and herbal infusions. In our other sets, the organic status of each blend is shown on its product page and on its label.

Do you offer a caffeine-free infusion gift set?
Yes, the Coffret Gourmand contains only Rooibos and herbal infusions, completely caffeine-free. It suits the whole family and can be enjoyed at any hour.

How many cups does a gift set make?
A pouch of loose-leaf tea yields several dozen cups, depending on the dosage shown on the label. A single set can accompany many weeks of tasting.

How should I store the teas from a gift set?
Seal the pouches or tins carefully after each use and keep them away from light, heat and moisture. Properly stored, a tea will hold its aroma for many months.

Can I choose the teas in my gift set myself?
Yes, with our custom gift set: you select each tea and we take care of the rest.

Do I need special equipment to brew loose-leaf tea?
A teapot with a built-in strainer, a tea ball, a tea infuser or fillable tea bags are all you need. No complicated kit required.

A personalised tea gift set, composed by you

No ready-made set quite captures what you have in mind? With our build-your-own tea gift set, you choose the format (tea bags or metal tins), then select each tea, rooibos or herbal infusion from our full catalogue. We hand-assemble the gift box exactly as you envisioned it. Every choice is yours: it's the most personal way to give a truly thoughtful gift.

Why give a Thés & Traditions gift set?

A family-run house, teas chosen one by one

Thés & Traditions is an independent French tea house. Every tea in our gift sets belongs to our permanent selection: you're giving what we drink ourselves and what our customers come back for, not an assortment put together just for the season. A quality gift, crafted for sharing and togetherness.

Real loose-leaf tea, packaged in France

Whole leaves, pieces of fruit, flowers and spices: our blends are packaged in France, in resealable kraft pouches or metal tins that shield the aromas from light and moisture. Steeping time, temperature and dosage are printed on every label.

Packaging that's a pleasure to give

Our elegant navy blue gift box speaks for itself: no wrapping paper needed. Once the teas have been enjoyed, it makes a lovely little keepsake for storing tea bags, recipes or small treasures.
