Everything in the TEA TIME box!

At some point in ancient human history, humans discovered that boiling leaves in water to drink was a good idea. While tea was originally drunk for its medicinal properties, it eventually became less bitter and more pleasant, while still offering potent health benefits.

This kit celebrates the tradition of tea as well as contemporary revolutionaries in the industry, such as the Sri Lankan organic farmers who grew your green tea.

With all this history in mind, we hope you enjoy your next tea time to the fullest, with some help from a handsome assortment of handmade accessories.

Hand-Stamped Tea Towel – India ($15) This natural unbleached towel is pretty in its simplicity.

It measures 26″ square and features a stitched floral embroidery. You can use it to dry utensils in the kitchen, to handle hot things, or just display it somewhere because it’s really pretty to look at.

Tea Cup & Saucer – India ($15) This cup and saucer set features a deep teal and modern organic line accents.

This was handpainted, so each piece is unique.

Love the oatmeal color!

Equal Exchange Green Tea Full Leaf Sachets – Sri Lanka ($5.99) This organic green tea was harvested from a small farm in Sri Lanka which supports environment-friendly tea-growing processes.

Pretty packaging!

Brewing instructions are also indicated on the box.

Here’s what the individual bags look like!

This full leaf Sri Lankan green tea has a cleansing quality with subtle notes of jasmine, honeysuckle, seaweed, and toasted rice.

Large leaf teas provide a loose leaf style tea drinking experience but with the convenience of a tea bag. The mesh bag material provides space for leaves to unfurl and expand for increased water flow and steeping.

Rosewood Tea Box – India ($25) This box measures 6 1/2” x 3 3/4” x 4” tall.

This box from the Matr Boomie collective is such a little treasure! It features two compartments in the inside and a hinged lid.

The top has a unique hand chiseled pattern that adds a pretty touch. Plus the wood is so smooth! It’s not rough at all.

GlobeIn always does a wonderful job in putting items with good value and great causes together. I’m pretty sure tea lovers will fall head over heels for this month’s theme! As for me who is not a fan of tea, I must say I still liked some of the items in month’s curation, particularly the towel and the wooden box. Plus, this box benefits artisans by contributing to the collectives’ literacy, education, and living wage campaigns.
