What your recipient experiences

Day one
The gift email arrives
Right away, or on the date and time you scheduled — with your personal note inside.
First box
Tea you picked, at their door
The box you customized at checkout, with 4 premium loose leaf teas — 30–40 cups.
Box 2 on
They take the reins
Your recipient gets their own account and picks each box's teas from 25+ monthly options.
The end
It wraps up on its own
After the last box ships, the gift simply ends. No renewals, no cancelling, no surprises.

A gift they open twice

First in their inbox — a beautiful gift announcement with your personal note. Then at their door, again and again, as each box of tea arrives.

💐
Thank-yous & milestones
For hosts, mentors, new parents, retirements — a warm gesture they'll taste daily.
Just because
For the tea lover who has everything — except next month's favorite tea.

Why not just a gift card?

It's a real present
You've picked their first teas — there's something to unwrap, not a balance to spend.
Zero effort for them
No redeeming, no choosing a plan, no checkout. The tea just shows up.
It keeps giving
A gift card is one moment. This one comes back month after month.
