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
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!
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.
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.
A modern twist on a classic style, this glass teapot allows you to see your tea steep—something especially cool when you use blooming teas! You can use any loose leaf blends, though, since it comes with an infuser to make your tea time ultra-relaxing.
Speaking of flowering teas, these Teabloom teas are handcrafted by artisans with high-quality green tea leaves and edible flowers. They're especially made for glass tea pots since the display is so beautiful, but they also taste wonderful. Each flower makes a full pot of tea, and this set comes with 12 different varieties, including 'Sunset Love' and 'Shooting Star'. Who wouldn't want to drink a shooting star?
Inspired by Tea Forte's 5 years of partnership with The New York Botanical Garden, this collection brings together all 4 collaborations. Packaged in the tradition of original artwork created from the Garden's library, Jubilee pays includes the Jardin, Fleur, Soleil, and Paradis collections. The 20 pyramid set includes drool-worthy blends like Vanilla Rose and Cherry Blossom.
One of Caraway's best bestselling pieces, the Whistling Tea Kettle looks as good on your stovetop as it does as a centerpiece on your brunch table. Available in multiple colors, it's nontoxic, so your water stays clean.
The vintage look of this set is just so perfect, and the saucer is icing on the cake. It also comes in a very fresh minty green. We're grabbing both (they're dishwasher safe!).
Passionate about matcha? So is Cuzen. With this kit, you can make a shot of matcha to create your favorite latte, cocktail, mocktail, or just to sip on its own. The machine mimics the traditional stone mill and bamboo whisk, and there's even a grind only function for powder you can bake with, use as a garnish, or integrate into your beauty routine. The Cuzen Match Maker is designed to work with their signature tea leaves.
Whether it's brown and white sugar, spices, or q-tips, this bowl set from Hawkins New York is the perfect way to add a little whimsy to your life. (We mentioned the Alice in Wonderland thing, right?)
We don't usually think 'chic' when we think about tea kettles, but this one warrants it. For the minimalist in you, this unique kettle is a seriously stunning addition to your kitchen.
'The Home Café: Creative Recipes for Espresso, Matcha, Tea and Coffee Drinks'
Amazon
You have your matcha powder; now put it to even more creative use. For both coffee and tea lovers alike, this book helps you take your regular grind (pardon the pun) and switch it up into something a little more fun.
Tea and honey go together like...tea and honey. Just use one of these dipped spoons to stir your favorite tea and add the perfect amount of sweetness as the honey dissolves.
Absolutely swoon-worthy, this stunning glass teapot is hand painted with poppies in rich pink hues. It includes a removable infuser, too, and is available in 2 sizes.
Get a glimpse into the future—which looks a lot like a steaming cup of tea inspired by the stars. Each zodiac sign is represented here, so you can try the whole sky.

For dads, raising our girls to become smart, confident women means always encouraging their curiosity, nurturing their joy of play and exploration, and helping them realize that the sky’s the limit. We asked some of our favorite parents of daughters to share their most cherished father-daughter activities, and we received a treasure trove of ideas. From singing in the car to preparing a family meal, there are so many good ideas here. Which one will you choose?
1. Belt out songs in the car. Nothing beats the amazing acoustics in a sweet ride with your sweetest girl.
6. Go to work together. And not just on Take Your Child to Work Day. Pick a random day for your daughter to play hooky from school, and bring her to work. Whether you spend your day filing TPS reports or you’re the master of your own business, sharing with your daughter what you do for a living (and showing off how awesome she is to your co-workers) will give each of you great and lasting insights into each other.
7. Play a round of cards. Start simple with Go Fish or Old Maid and make your way up to rummy. It’s a tradition you can continue to play for years to come.
9. Build a robot. It’s a proven fact that dads and daughters love robots and there’s nothing better than working on robot projects together. In addition to instilling a love of science and engineering in young girls, robots are just super-cool.
10. Have a lunch date. Whether it’s a standing lunch date every month or for a special occasion, splurge on a fancy lunch date with your daughter, preferably at someplace that doesn’t have a kids’ menu and requires dressing up.
11. Take a selfie with her. Pictures are a great way to capture a sweet moment in time.
12. Go bowling.
13. Prepare a family meal together. Your spouse will appreciate whatever you and your daughter whip up in the kitchen, and your kiddo—no matter how young she is—will start to learn the joys of creating yummy eats for others.
14. Tell each other secrets. Start while your daughter is young so that she’ll always know that you trust her to keep your secrets and she will, in turn, know that she can trust you with hers.
15. Learn something new together. Whether you sign up for a crafting class or take your daughter somewhere to learn a new activity, it’ll be fun for her to see you learning as an adult too.
16. Work out together. Fathers and daughters who exercise together stay happy, healthy, and strong together.
17. Start a collection. Whether it’s small bottles of sand from every beach you’ve ever been to with your daughter or stubs from your favorite movies (this is the perfect place to store that type of thing) you’ve seen together, starting a shared father-daughter collection can make memories more tangible.
18. Take a walk on the beach. And while you’re at it, remember to build sandcastles, collect seashells, and play in the surf with your daughter. There are plenty of great beaches to explore.
19. Share an impromptu picnic in the backyard.Dining al fresco is best served with juice boxes and plushies.
20. Attend a sporting event. Whether it’s watching your daughter’s soccer match or taking her to see college or professional league sports, sharing a love of athletics can nurture healthy competition and good sportsmanship, and it’s a perfect father-daughter activity for a day of fun.
21. Attend a Minecraft convention. Or, really, any fan event that will let a father and daughter share something that they both enjoy.
22. Learn to code. These days, our precocious daughters could probably already teach us a thing or two about Python or Ruby on Rails, but for developing junior coders, there are plenty of programs that aim to instill a love of technology in young girls that all dads should encourage.
22. Ride a seesaw. Do it while she’s still young enough to enjoy bouncing around with her dad, but old enough to appreciate just how silly it looks.
23. Do yoga together. Centering mind, body, and spirit are helpful consequences of doing a few vinyasas and downward-facing dogs, but the true benefit of fathers and daughters doing yoga together is the quality time spent. Don’t forget to buy your mat!
24. Explore the world.Family vacations are perfect for getting away from the usual day-to-day grind of school and work schedules. Traveling to a new city or town allows fathers and daughters to experience and see things with fresh perspectives.
25. Cosplay as your favorite animated characters. What can I say except, “You’re welcome.”
27. Have “the other talk.” Because any self-possessed young girl needs to grow up understanding that Beyoncé is the Queen, no matter what anyone says.
28. Read books together. The only thing better than a dad who reads to and with his daughter is a well-read girl who grows up to be the next CEO, rocket scientist, or President of the United States.
29. Dance like nobody’s watching. It’ll be good practice for your first father-daughter dance at her wedding.
30. Ride a carousel. There’s nothing quite like a leisurely ride on a merry-go-round with your little girl, whether it’s at one of the country’s most awesome carousels like the one at Disneyland or the local park.
31.Volunteer in your hometown. Showing your daughter you have compassion will make you an awesome role model.
32. Have “the talk.” Because it’s never too early to teach your daughter the incontrovertible fact that the Marvel Comic Universe is vastly superior to the DC Comic Universe, Wonder Woman notwithstanding.
33. Build something. Start a project, and be sure to use tools because it’s never too soon to teach your kid how to be handy.
34. Go fishing. There’s nothing like the quiet togetherness that is required when you cast a line with kids. Do you have your pole?
35. Get ice cream at your favorite shop. Did yours make our list of the best ice cream shops in the country?
36.Another great father-daughter activity? Pick a class from Outschool and do it together.
37. Check out your astrology compatibility with our chart.
