The easiest tea gift is a mixed box: several teas in one small parcel, and no need to know what the person drinks every day. If you cannot choose, a gift card or a club gift lets them choose instead. This guide sets out the options we have in stock, from a small box to a present that keeps arriving after Christmas.
Selection boxes: several teas in one present
A selection box suits someone whose taste you only half know. Four are worth a look.
- True English Tea British Mix Collection: 30 tea bags covering black, Earl Grey and green teas. The one for a traditional tea drinker. Our True English Tea guide covers the brand.
- Twinings Fruit Herbal Classics Collection: 20 individually sealed envelopes, five each of Pure Peppermint, Lemon and Ginger, Pure Camomile, and Strawberry and Raspberry. None contains tea leaf, so the box is listed as caffeine free. See four infusions in one box.
- Pukka Organic Herbal Collection: 20 organic herbal sachets in a mixed box, for someone who already likes herbal tea. Our best Pukka tea page explains the range.
- Drink Me Chai Latte Selection Box: six chai latte sachets, each making one mug. A small present for someone who orders chai in a coffee shop.

Festive flavours and something for the table
If you know they drink tea daily, a seasonal flavour with good biscuits makes a fuller present than tea alone.
Teapigs Spiced Winter Red is a spiced rooibos, which we cover in a festive rooibos. Twinings Gingerbread Green Tea and Yorkshire Tea Sticky Toffee Brew bring a pudding flavour to a normal cup.
For the biscuits, the Border Classic Biscuit Sharing Pack holds six varieties from the Scottish family bakery, and Border Milk Chocolate Viennese Whirls are the richer single pack. Both are on the biscuits shelf. Our page on tea at Christmas covers the seasonal blends.

Small parcels and posting
Most of these boxes hold 15 to 30 tea bags, so they are small and light. teas.co.uk has a slim letterbox delivery service for some single item orders, and checkout shows it when your basket qualifies.
We do not print last order dates in this guide, because carriers set and change them and delivery times are estimates, not guaranteed dates. Read the delivery page before you order, and order earlier than you think you need to.
Gift cards and the Tea of the Month Club
A teas.co.uk gift card is sent by email or as a printable PDF. You can add a personal message and choose the date the email arrives, and the gift cards page says the balance has no expiry date. It is the present that does not depend on the post.
The Tea of the Month Club is a monthly box of teas chosen by the shop, with a tasting card. It can be given as a gift for 3, 6 or 12 months, and the club page says a gift does not renew by itself. If you are weighing it up, read tea subscriptions in the UK first.

Common questions
What tea do you give someone when you do not know their taste?
A selection box, because it spreads the risk across several teas. If you do not know whether they drink tea at all, a gift card is safer.
When should I order for Christmas?
As early as you can. We do not quote cut off dates here, so check the delivery page for the services on offer today.
Does a teas.co.uk gift card expire?
The gift cards page says there is no expiry date and no fees. The balance carries over until it is used.
