Top 5 Coffee Gifts
1) Coldwave Beverage Chiller
Thanks to this instant drink chiller, hot beverages chill out to icy cold in under two minutes—without diluted flavor. The pitcher and insert combo is made with BPA-free, high-density plastic tubes filled with filtered water. Keep the insert in the freezer for quick cool-downs of coffee, tea, beer, wine, and even fizzy drinks.
2) Silicone Pocket Bags - 2 Pack
With palm-sized convenience and lightly frosted sides for added discretion, this little pocket is the perfect air-tight transport for your tiny valuables (or just a tiny snack). Each is plastic-free and seals up to keep food fresh and trinkets in. The bag can even go in the microwave or dishwasher for easy clean up.
3) Floral Lotus Tisane & Teapot
Transform the age-old ritual of making tea. These dried tea flowers are actual lotus buds sourced from a monastery on one of China’s holy mountains. Their golden honey aroma evolves into a subtle, more herbal taste and fragrance as you drink. This kit includes a beautiful glass teapot with a wire filter that lets you enjoy the aesthetics, and eight to twelve lotus flower tisanes (each good for up to two infusions).
4) Cold Brew Tea Gift Set
Make your afternoon tea an iced one with a cold brew tea gift set. Cold brewing is a slow and gentle way to infuse tea that creates more intense flavors and aromas. This set has everything you need to brew your own at home, including organic and orthodox loose leaf teas. This means the tea is hand-picked and processed according to traditional practices and it is all sourced from small-scale, non-industrial tea farms. Brewing is easy—just steep the tea overnight in the container, strain, and enjoy.
5) Universal Cold Brew Coffee Filter
A cold brew coffee filter that fits in your existing water bottle means coffee to-go is more accessible and affordable than ever—you brew and sip all in one. No need for heat, it takes a minute to set up and then steeps while you sleep. Made of food-grade stainless steel and BPA-free silicone, it adjusts to your bottle’s height, is durable, and dishwasher safe.
