Choosing a Gift
The right tea changes with the person you are giving it to. For someone not used to drinking tea, choose something with little astringency, where the flavor makes the difference easy to taste. For someone who already knows tea, choose something hard to find elsewhere, such as a rare tea or a single-tree lot.
The occasion changes the choice as well. A tea with broad appeal suits a small gift or something you bring with you, while a rare tea suits an anniversary or a gift for someone close to you. Teas in tins fit our gift boxes, which hold either two tins or three.
