Tea From Around the World from Uncommon Goods

Sometimes there’s nothing like a good cup of tea. While drinking tea is hardly a new experience, the sampling that Uncommon Goods offers in their Tea From Around the World Set has the potential to introduce you to some new favorites. The set features 10 different kinds of loose-leaf tea from across the globe, with flavors such as Grand Himalaya and Butterfly of Taiwan.

The tea is packaged in attractive aluminum cylinders that contain enough for six to eight cups of tea each — perfect for sharing with a friend. The kit also comes with a handy information booklet to guide you along your tasting experience, including information on the backgrounds of the various teas and proper brewing instructions. The set makes an excellent gift for both avid tea aficionados and those just wanting to try something new. Anyone with an adventurous palate will enjoy this gift. If you feel a more tea-illiterate recipient will be intimidated by attempting to brew loose-leaf tea, Uncommon Goods also offers a sleek version of a tea infuser aptly named the Teastick.

Currently, the Tea From Around the World Set is $55. Unfortunately, it cannot be shipped outside of the United States at this time.
