Tea pots make great gift choices for the gourmet tea drinker

Tea pots, tea cups and high afternoon tea seem so British and civilized - but health trends and teas growing popularity suggest that more Americans are choosing this beverage than ever before. In fact, tea houses and cafes are sprouting up in many cities and towns, giving Starbucks a new competitor.

While tea houses are a wonderful new addition to our culture, home brewed tea serves us while at home. Choose tea pots for loose tea like green tea, herbal tea, and black tea and add tea cups to your dish supplies for a matching set. You can purchase from fancy to basic tea pots at many gourmet food stores and kitchen supply stores or at specialty tea shops and cafes. You can also conveniently shop on line.

Choose handsome tea pots and tea cups as a gift for your favorite tea drinker. I for one regularly drink high quality organic green tea loose and have a modern tea pot that allows me several cups of tea. When friends are over I have matching tea cups to dress things up.
