Is it May-June gifting season already? Celebrate with Adagio’s plethora of gifts that keep on giving: kettles, teapots, cups, and more. Teaware is a long-lasting, every-day reminder of your affection and absolutely a way to enjoy the pleasures of tea all-year-long!

1. Something Simply Perfect

We love the timeless efficiency and ease of our ingenuiTEA teapot, so perfect for the dorm or the office. It holds a hefty 16 oz. of tea and is made with Tritan, a specially-formulated plastic that is 100% BPA-free and safe for hot water. The sturdy stainless steel filter basket insures that your brewed tea is clean tasting and delicious. And, it’s a breeze to clean: discard leaves, rinse out with water thoroughly and air dry.

2. Something Culinary

For something unique, try our pantry specialties to celebrate moms and grandmas this year, any dad or grad that loves to cook like our fantastic spice and honey selections. Both brides and bridegrooms are likely to cook these days, so spices and honeys make great gifts and they’re fun table favors!

Selefina Spices are sure to inspire savory and sweet ideas for many meals to come, and, best of all, they’re a dynamic ingredient to create personal tea blends. We have more than 20 choices of flower petals, herbs, and spices including popular rose petals, lavender, butterfly pea flower, and all the possible masala chai ingredients. (Yes! We have sampler sets, scroll to the bottom of the page!)

Adagio Bees honeys are not only more healthful ways to sweeten tea, they’re a fabulous ingredient for grilling veggies and proteins, topping ice cream or drizzling over roasted carrots or into dressings, and, of course, adding a lovely sweet edge to your tea or (dare we say it?) coffee. All the teas are packaged in clear glass jars and sourced right here in the U.S. except for uber-healthful Manuka which only comes from New Zealand. Ours is from New Zealand and certified as MGO 100+ (>100mg/kg).

3. Something Sturdy

For the tea lover who has everything, a cast iron teapot from Japan is not only a thoughtful gift choice, it’s one that will soon achieve heirloom status. Available in classic black and cheery yellow, orange or blue, these are the perfect kettles to keep hot water hot for refills or to brew teas from everyday Sencha to exquisite Gyokuro for special occasions.

4. Something on Ice

Iced teas were once a only summertime specialty but U.S. tea lovers now drink iced tea all year long. Adagio Iced Tea Makers make it so easy to brew and keep cold for anytime-of-the-day access. It’s truly a set it and forget it pitcher. These iced tea makers come with a variety of tops to bring a sunny cheer of color to the picnic grounds or the backyard patio. Buy several to offer a choice of flavors!

5. Something Deliciously Refreshing

Last, but certainly not least, tea makes a welcomed gift for any occasion and our brand new Spring Sampler is packed with flavor and low to moderate caffeine. A win-win for everyone on your list.

Here’s the selection from the Spring Sampler:

White Eternal Spring is a sophisticated, elegant white tea you can drink day or night

Melonberry Green is a combo of strawberry and watermelon in cool, refreshing green

Lemon Meringue Green with natural lemon, vanilla, and cream blended into a light green tea

Berry Creme Compote is an herbal with no caffeine that’s like a playful liquid compote of blackberry, blueberry, and strawberry on your palate.

P.S. Thank you for being such a generous and clever gift-giver. Why not celebrate with a little something for you? Clearly, our glass mugs, pots, and kettles are a way to infuse your life with something wonderful that never shatters or cracks!
