The Loose-Leaf Starter Kit

New to loose-leaf tea? Start here with the core brewing gear, a reliable kettle, an infuser, and a first sampler to find your favorite blends.

Build a matcha station that rivals the coffee shop, from ceremonial-grade powder and a proper whisk to bowls, sifters, and a quick electric frother.

Brew tea the gongfu way with a gaiwan, a Yixing clay pot, a serving tray, and the aged leaves that reward short, repeated steeps.

Skip the bitterness with dedicated cold brew makers and pitchers, then pour bright iced tea over ice using easy-drinking black and herbal leaves.

Keep good tea within reach at work with a single-serve brewer, a travel-safe kettle, a spill-proof tumbler, and tins to store your leaves.

Put together a gift they will actually use, from a beautiful teapot and sampler set to double-wall glass cups and a handsome storage caddy.

Green tea needs cooler water and a gentle touch. Pair quality loose leaf with a temperature kettle, a glass pot, and the right strainer.

For tea drinkers who care about control, this bundle centers on gooseneck and variable-temp kettles, plus timers and scoops for a repeatable brew.

Loose leaf fades fast when stored wrong. Protect your stash with airtight tins, boxes, and caddies, plus filter bags and scoops for daily use.

Never settle for hotel tea bags again. This kit covers a packable kettle, a leakproof tumbler, an insulated thermos, and a go-anywhere infuser.

Wind down with a wellness-focused setup built around herbal and rooibos blends, a glass teapot to show off botanicals, and cozy mugs.

Host a boba night with a complete bubble tea kit, wide straws, tea latte mixes, and concentrates for fast, creamy, shop-style drinks at home.
