I haven't tried this
Presto electric kettle that has specific temperature settings to steep various types of tea right inside the kettle itself, but I certainly am curious about it. Sounds like a good gift for a tea lover, and even not-too-frequent tea drinkers seem to love
Harney & Son's Holiday and White Christmas teas -- especially tucked inside little gossamer silken sachet-type bags. And speaking of Harney's, I'm not a big green tea fan, but Harney's lightly delicious Bangkok blend with lemongrass and coconut makes sipping green more exciting and exotic. If you're my mother and you like to brew tea by the pot yet take a good while to drink it, Harney's votive flame tea warmer base might be apropos.
Smith Teas' No. 45 Peppermint features peppermint and chocolate notes -- quite perfect for this snowy/frosty time of the year. An easily found, affordable and interesting stocking stuffer from Target's grocery section is Archer Farms Chocolate Berry Earl Grey. One might raise an eyebrow at the concept of cocoa, carob, berry, pink pepper and licorice combined with bergamot, but it works well and the bags are also the silky sachet type, adding more panache to your present at $3.99. And if you want to get continental and splurge a little, Kusmi Teas offers a variety of blends with irresistible names like Prince Vladimir and Anastasia, and with beautiful keepsake tins to match.
