If you have an adventurous tea lover on your shopping list, this is a monthly loose leaf tea club gift. My subscription included a few teas that made me say “Oooh, I wonder what that’s going to be like” or “I didn’t know you could make tea taste like that.” Most of them worked very well, including creme brûlée oolong and pumpkin spice black tea.
Subscribers to this loose tea service can choose from a subscription blend tea box, black tea box, green tea box, and herbal tea box. A new fresh and fragrant unique tea will be delivered every month, bi-monthly or quarterly.
Each box of fresh tea comes with a handpicked selection of teas (14 grams of each), packaged with information about each of the different teas and sealed in resealable bags. Teas will vary depending on the season and current tastes. You’ll also receive reusable cotton tea filters with your first monthly subscription.
Pricing: A subscription for three half-ounce samples starts at $19 per month for a full year’s subscription, paid annually.

Atlas allows you to customize your subscription a bit more. When you sign up for this tea subscription box, you will register whether you want pure teas, blended teas, or a variety. You also choose whether you want flavored and pure teas, herbal blends or all types of tea.
Atlas lives up to its name with elegant teas from some of the best tea producing regions in the world, including many as far east as Japan, Indonesia, Thailand, India and Nepal.
Just like its sister subscription Atlas coffee Club, all of these teas arrive with matching postcards that contain information about the region the tea comes from. I love that touch and can’t think of a more delightful thing to look at while sipping the stuff.
The base subscription for this service isn’t a huge amount of tea per delivery, so it’s a perfect tea club for the moderate tea drinker or tea lover who has a standard morning variety but likes to mix in a fun new herbal or oolong every now and then.
Pricing: Subscription gives two teas per month (30 cups) and is $14 per shipment. Registration is simple and you can cancel at any time.

Art of Tea has one of the most intensive tea clubs to try every type of tea. To get an idea of ​​your preferences, you can try the Tea Profile Quiz, which collects information such as when you drink tea, flavors you like and dislike, and how experienced you are with tea. Finally, it will recommend teas based on your answers.
A Tea Club subscription lets you choose from six different types of tea subscriptions: single origin, pyramid tea bags, classic, decaffeinated, explore and wellness. You’ll also choose a three-month, six-month, or 12-month plan.
Each monthly tea box contained only one type of tea. I got four ounces of hot masala chai in my first box and it was heaven on a cool Sunday afternoon. Between two and four ounces of tea (or 12 tea bags if you chose pyramid tea bags) will be sent with information to help you dive deeper into the wide world of tea. The teas are seasonally selected and every month you will receive a new fresh tea or flavored teas.
Note that depending on your tea club selection (single origin, classic, tea bags), Art of Tea ships a different amount of tea, but the prices are the same. There is also a sprawling shop for teas and related products if you are not a subscriber.
Pricing: A three-month subscription costs $81, six months is $133, and a full year costs $254.

As if a warm cup of tea didn’t already make you feel good enough, how about supporting only small tea producers in the process? The Verdant Tea Club operates as a CSA with teas selected each month by one farmer to highlight their family’s work.
My first delivery included a toasted oolong, a green tea, and two rich black teas (all loose leaf), along with instructions for making each and colorful background information about this month’s small farm.
Pricing: Verdant Tea Club costs $35 per month, $99 for three months, $195 for six months, or $385 for a year, and will include three to 10 teas weighing a total of 75 grams (about 2.6 ounces). These will likely include super-seasonal teas and fresh, limited harvests.

The Republic of Tea is a sprawling tea marketplace with a subscription option if you choose. Sign up for the Tea of ​​the Month Club and you’ll receive 50 bags of new tea every 30 days unless you get the assortment subscription. You can choose a variety tea subscription or all your teas in one category such as black teas, herbal teas, wellness blends and more.
The big difference between this tea subscription service and most other tea subscription boxes is that you can see all six or 12 months of tea supplies in advance and decide in advance if the range looks like one you want to try. It also makes it the perfect gift subscription as you’ll know which teas are coming, but your loved one will be surprised each month.
The tea from Republic of Tea is excellent, but note that the subscription is a little more clunky and impersonal than the others. This makes a good gift for the pragmatic tea lover on your list.
Pricing: Six months of Tea Club supplies cost $109, and a full year is $190.
