Making a Tea Gift Basket

A customer wrote in today asking what the essential components should be in a Tea Basket for a tea beginner.  Here's our list of items to consider, in order of priority:

• An infuser basket or strainer (teapot for those already familiar with tea)
• Canister
• Measuring scoop
• Timer

Everything else is nice to have and not essential.  We've included one of our own gift arrangements to give you an idea.  This one is called World Club-Fruit and has two fruit-flavored teas, a strainer, cookies and a neat little box for the two tea canisters.
