For tea lovers, brewing a fresh batch brings all the coziness and warmth of a luxurious blanket. You don't need much to start: an electric or stovetop kettle, a cup to hold the liquid, and your tea leaves of choice work. But for the aficionados out there, gathering fine teacups, an elegant teapot, and accessories like sugar bowls or fancy spoons make it a true, calming ritual. You might be buying a gift for the tea lover in your life, or maybe you want to add to your arsenal of tea cups and accessories. Regardless, we've got you covered; we found the very best gifts for tea lovers.

The tea drinker in your life might like a quick utility cup of English Breakfast, perform a full ceremony with their morning matcha, or want their setup to mimic the intricacies of a Bridgerton reading room. No matter their preference, each cup should feel just a little extra special. A quality mug set or honey jar is the kind of thing they might not think to invest in on their own, but will cherish once they have it. The cups might be the most important part—it's what you actually drink the tea out of—but for the sweet or savory treats on the side, don't forget additional tableware like napkins or dessert stands.

We applied our expert design eye to our search, finding tea sets with hand-painted designs and sleek teapots you won't mind leaving out well after the pot is emptied. We also found handy gadgets that make the tea drinker's life easier, like a mug that holds their tea bag for them. From a rosy checkered MacKenzie-Childs kettle to a bamboo storage box that's a dream for kitchen organization, scroll on for gifts any tea fanatic will cherish.

'Bridgerton' Floral Teacup & Saucers

Bring all the style and grace of the ton to your dining room with this teacup and saucer set from the Bridgerton collab with Williams Sonoma. The cups are microwave-safe, and the elegant floral paintings on the outside is fit for a queen (or a watch party with friends).

Rosy Check Tea Kettle

MacKenzie-Childs tea kettles are decked out in their iconic Courtly Check pattern that’ll make any tea party that much more quaint. Swap the typical black-and-white pattern for a rosy pink adorned with a glass knob. If Barbie were to host a tea party, we could picture this on her table.

Tea Cosy

There's nothing sadder than tea that gets cold too quickly, so this tea cosy could be just the thing to solve that. The machine-washable cover goes over your teapot to keep your brew warm for longer, so you can lose yourself in a good book and have a refill ready.

Teak Honey Dip

Could you just use a teaspoon for your honey? Yes, but where's the fun in that? Have a little Winnie the Pooh-inspired moment with this honey dipper made from durable teak. Teak wood's water-resistant properties will stand up to lots of use, and it's harvested sustainably.

Tea Bag Pocket Mug

This mug solves a common pet peeve of tea drinkers: what to do with the tea bag in-between pours. Instead of having to toss the wet tea bag on a napkin or have it cause rings on a saucer, this two-toned mug has a little pocket for the bag.

Stainless Steel Tea Infuser Ball with Teapot Weight

For a tea infuser that'll actually stay put in the glass, opt for this one that comes with its own adorable weight. It's a great gift for the loose leaf tea lover who wants to be able to enjoy a small cup at a time.

Cozy Tea Bookmark

A good cup of tea goes even better with a great book, so for the friend who likes to lose themselves in a good read, gift them this sheep's wool bookmark. The design looks like a regular tea tag hanging over the cover of a book.

Midnight Flowers Sugar Bowl

A nice sugar bowl is often the overlooked item in a teacup set, so if this is missing in their drinkware arsenal, or in yours for that matter, add this one to cart. As a plus, even though this one is made from fine china, it is still dishwasher-safe.

Sawyer Ceramic Honey Jar

This beautiful, speckled honey jar is handmade and will speak to minimalists who prefer a more natural look to their decor. It has a rough exterior that blends in well with the neutral accents in your home. The glazed interior can hold honey, agave, or any sweetener of your choice.

Bodum Douro Tea Press

Upgrade your teapot to this sleek, porcelain one that works with loose leaf tea or tea bags. Its oak handle looks beautiful enough to leave out on the counter or table, and it steeps 12 cups at a time so you’ll always have a steaming cup ready for guests.

Brewing Nest Ceramic Travel Teapot

For the frequent flier who just can't picture being without their favorite tea, this polished ceramic set is perfect for on-the-go use. It includes a loose leaf brewer with a filtered spout and a small cup, plus a padded travel bag to keep it safe.

Palmer 2-Tier Serving Cart

Our editors might be divided on having a bar cart, but consider the movable piece for another purpose: high tea time. This cart made from merlot-colored wood with brass accents is a beautiful way to serve tea to guests, or to display all your favorite drinkware in-between uses.

Ceremonial Matcha Set

For matcha lovers, the drink is a way of life, so it deserves the tools to make the most balanced cup possible. This kit comes with a bamboo whisk, bamboo scoop, matcha sifter, and a glazed matcha bowl. There's even a how-to guide to walk them through the process. Let them bask in the joy of the ceremony.

Bamboo Tea Box

If their kitchen drawer is a zoo of tea bags, gift this to make their counter look like a hotel lobby's breakfast section. They can see all of their options at once through the acrylic cover, and select their morning cuppa with ease.

The Qi Blooming Tea

For a unique brewing experience, gift these tea flowers that bloom once hot water is poured over them. This set is made from a blend of peonies and green tea for a delightful floral taste. We think this is best enjoyed in a glass mug to watch the blooming process in real time.

Royal Check Three Tier Sweet Stand

Why save the stylish patterned pieces just for the teapots and cups? The madeleines, sandwiches, and tea cakes you enjoy with your Earl Grey are just as important. Give them a beautiful stand for display and serving, complete with a hand-painted checkerboard pattern and bronze trim.

Set of Four Herrinko Mugs

Sometimes, you want a bit more tea than a petite cup can hold. For those longer brunches or catch-ups with friends, this set of four stoneware mugs is perfect. The different colorful herringbone design ensures that if one of you walks away from your cup, you'll come back knowing which one is yours.

Stainless Steel Silver Leaf Teaspoon Set

A delicate teaspoon elevates any drinking experience. These stainless steel options have a leaf decal on the ends that'll just be so much fun to hold. They come in 11 different colors, and you get a set of 10 for under $8.

Spring Garden Tea Towels

For an affordable gift that doesn't look cheap, gift these tea towels adorned with wildflowers. They're perfect for a spring garden party, and will blend well against solid colored or neutral tablescapes.

Sip into Spring Drink Bundle

Add the taste of spring to any cup of tea with this set that includes floral simple syrups, butterfly teas, and a glass daisy shaped stirrer. The included teas look like a butterfly has rested on the rim of your glass, and the syrups range in flavor from strawberry basil to marionberries and black pepper.
