Oprah likes to start every morning by pouring herself a cup of tea. (She takes hers "savory and strong," in case you were wondering.) And surely, you have a friend who has their own ritual. Perhaps it involves lighting a sweet-smelling candle, cuddling up for a feel-good movie, and helping themselves to a spot of oolong or a mug of chamomile. They may also love the health benefits of green or hibiscus tea, or use a piping-hot cup of it to wind down before hitting the sheets on a cold night. It's very personal. Which is exactly why shopping for a tea lover can feel intimidating—especially if you're more of a coffee person.

So what do you get a tea connoisseur? Lucky for you, we've gathered the most perfect gifts, including delicious blends from the best tea brands, products for at-home tea tastings, funny apparel and accessories, luxurious teapots so pretty they'll feel like they're drinking with the queen, and even a few cameos from Oprah's Favorite Things. Depending on your budget, you can purchase one or two items (bonus: many can be found on Amazon) or curate a handful for the ultimate tea gift basket (think: punny socks, pretty earrings, an array of tea blends, a tea box made of acacia wood, and a porcelain tea-for-one set). Either way, all of these thoughtful pampering gifts are worth a...chai. (See what we did there?)
