This one isn’t for the coffee lovers. Unless you’re a coffee lover who also happens to love tea, then stick around. Tea is making a major comeback—if it ever really left—and we’re noticing. Americans aren’t notorious for tea drinking, but with more focus on wellness and overall general health, these lovely leaves (and herbs and flowers) are in the spotlight. Not only are the classics still well-loved, but new blends, accessories, and tea kettles are gaining some serious popularity and we’ve gotta admit; we’re feeling pretty fancy.

No shade to coffee. But there’s just something about the ritual of tea that’s relaxing in and of itself. Add to it the health benefits (heart benefits! antioxidants! detoxing!) and the sheer zen of it all, it’s really not shocking that si many people are getting on the tea train. In honor of the de-stressing moments of brewing up a cup, we’ve put together some of our favorite tea-party-for-one (or two or ten) goodies to make your routine even more special. From the absolute gold standard in tea kettles (there is one. Trust us.) to beautiful cups and saucers and blends, your Alice in Wonderland era is here. Minus the hallucinations and grinning cats and stuff.

Butterfly Pea Flower Tea by Anima Mundi

Anima Mundi

How stunning is this blue? While the aesthetics of Butterfly Pea Flower Tea are definitely a bonus, the real magic is the health-promoting compounds, including antioxidants (such as anthocyanin), and contributing to healthy-looking skin, hair and eyes. Its rich blue color is utilized as a natural dye and it's sometimes combined with water plus an acidic ingredient, such as lemon, which changes the pH of water, so its color changes from blue to violet!

Baristan Electric Gooseneck Kettle by SAKI

SAKI

Modern. Minimalist. Sleek. And, of course, supremely practical whether you're a tea lover or a coffee connoisseur. Of course, it's not just about the aesthetics with this one from SAKI. The Baristan has a unique plastic-free interior, ultimate temperature accuracy, a ring light indicator, fast heating time (you'll be ready to pour in 5 minutes!), and a ton of other features we didn't even realize we'd need in a kettle. Turns out, we definitely do. This one is an investment you'll use every single day.

Honey-Bathed Blooming Tea Ball on a Spoon

Etsy

If there's anything we've learned, it's that the tea experience is just as much about the visuals as the taste. These honey-bathed, bound blooming tea balls are dusted with organic honey and adhered to a gold leaf tea spoon. Just add boiling hot water to your tea cup, unwrap your tea ball pop, and submerge into the water. Stir slightly, and your tea ball will open up to reveal a lovely, whole blooming tea flower. We were unprepared for this level of tea magic.

Pool Party

Allison Sutcliffe

You don’t need to take the kids to the pool to host a pool party this summer. Bring the pool to you! Put 5-7 hard sided kids pools around the yard and fill them with games and activities that are best enjoyed when the sun is shining. Make one a crazy shaving cream painting station. Fill another with water balloons for an epic battle. Line another with butcher paper and let kids splatter paint pictures of the perfect summer day. Sand with sand toys is another way for them to play. Be creative with your fillings and the party can last all day!
