The Best Tea Gifts That’ll Warm Their Hearts

Just like with coffee, it's a total bummer to spend all of your efforts preparing the perfect cup of tea, only for it to turn tepid the moment you turn your back. The Ember is a tea gift that makes this a thing of the past!

The Ember is a mug with a built-in warmer that provides 80 minutes of tea toastiness before it shuts off automatically after 2 hours. The included coaster functions as its charger, and it can keep their brew warm for much longer. The Ember is also a smart device, so they can program to the temp they want via smartphone.
