Is it Coffee vs Tea or is it Coffee + Tea? I am most definitely a coffee drinker, but I would like to start drinking more tea, especially now that it is winter. I feel like I know next to nothing about tea and what makes a good tea, so I have some learning to do. In the meantime, I put together a mason jar gift for the tea lovers in your life. Tea time mason jar gifts can be customized with whichever products you want to buy as long as they will fit into the jar! It is so much fun to make and give gifts in a jar.
Gather together items that a tea lover would use. I bought a sample pack of tea, a mini jar of honey, shortbread cookies, a mesh tea infuser and baker’s twine.
Slowly fit all of the items in a large mason jar. I used a 32 oz wide mouth Kerr mason jar and I spray painted the lid metallic gold.
Then, print a label for the jar. Cut the labels out, punch a hole and tie it on the jar using bakers’s twine. Download the free printable here:
This tea time mason jar gift is the perfect homemade Christmas gift idea for the tea lovers in your life!

August 18, 2016 at 8:31 pmLove the tea sampler Mason Jars & I would like to make them for my co-workers. May add or replace an item with a small lemon. Not sure where I can find a dozen small honey jars but Hopefully World Market has them along with the teas.
Tonia says
August 20, 2016 at 12:16 amGreat idea! World Market still has the honey http://www.worldmarket.com/product/savannah-orange-blossom-honey.do?&from=Search but the tea that I used shows that is it out of stock online. Maybe they will still have it in your store or you can go with another brand. Best of luck! ~Tonia

November 21, 2015 at 10:33 pmAbsolutely lovely! Are the teas in the sampler loose leaf or bagged?
Tonia says

October 26, 2015 at 11:18 pmHi, I was just wondering where you bought the individually wraped shortbread cookies. Can you tell me what brand they are? Thanks!
Tonia says
October 27, 2015 at 9:11 amHi Angela! I bought a full-size package of shortbread cookies and wrapped them tightly with plastic wrap and secured it on the bottom with tape. Best of luck! ~Tonia

Noemi Avenido says
December 12, 2014 at 8:05 pmHow lovely! I have the perfect person in mind for this but I’m not to sure about the supplies. Do you know of any other places (besides World Market) that would have tea samplers like these?
Tonia says
December 12, 2014 at 9:10 pmHi Noemi,
I’m not sure what other stores sell the Revolution tea samples. You can probably order them online. Otherwise, you can just use any tea that you can find in your local store. Best of luck!

August 16, 2015 at 6:19 pmI bought three boxes of different speciality teas then tied 3 bags from each box together with a ltttle hand written note saying which tea it was. A very popular gift.
