rieshy Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I want to buy a gift for my dd's piano teacher who lived for years in England and has strong opinions about quality teas. The only special requirement is that she can no longer drink caffeinated tea. I know she prefers black or green teas and has often mentioned that, "one can not buy drinkable tea," in our area of the country. I'm happy with ordering some- I'm a coffee snob and just have no idea what tea brands to consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Honestly, I'd buy her a tea accessory rather than tea: people get very picky about their leaves. How about a lovely tea pot? Or a tea cosy? Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004Q6J4GU/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=1532201582&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B004HYAIES&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1XDXN29EKPT2D0FGS8CZ Just kidding, you can buy one box. Yorkshire tea is what our English friends drink. They used to bring it back from the UK or Canada until I found it on Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Maybe something from Harney and Sons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 If she doesn't drink caffeinated tea, but prefers black or green, then I would let her buy her own. Black and green teas both have caffeine, so she must be using the decaffeinated version. That is always tricky and subjective. I agree that a new pot, or a cozy or a gift certificate might be a safer option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieshy Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 Thanks everyone. A teapot won't work but I'll check out Harney and Sons. If anyone knows other tea sources I'd love to hear them. I've decided on a gift certificate for tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSDCY Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 How about rooibos teas? They are caffeine-free and good for health. Here is where to order them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 How about rooibos teas? They are caffeine-free and good for health. Here is where to order them. I was wondering about this idea. They are not really tea, but most decaff real tea doesn't taste wonderful. So going for 'not tea' might well be better. I like rooibos.
