10 conseils pour bien choisir son coffret thé de Noël

Original, useful, and delicious, the tea or infusion gift set is undoubtedly the star of the holiday season. But to be sure to please, you still have to choose it carefully! Discover our tips for finding the perfect Christmas gift set .

1- Choose a box that makes you dream

Let's not kid ourselves, the appearance of your tea box is one of the keys to success. Barely torn, the wrapping paper should reveal a pretty, beautifully decorated box.

Opt for festive shades, green, red, blue or gold to be perfectly in the theme and make a statement at Christmas time!

For nature lovers, a raw wooden box will also make a nice impression when unpacking.

But just because a box looks pretty doesn't mean it will deliver on all its promises. Also, take a look at what's inside.

2- Focus on 100% plant-based recipes

To make an informed choice when it comes to gift boxes , it's best to take the time to scrutinize the labels. In a tea bag or infusion, only real plants should be allowed to take it easy! If you come across any kind of flavorings or flavor enhancers, simply move on.

3- Say yes to indulgence!

During the Christmas holidays, indulgence is the order of the day! So don't hesitate to stay the course with gourmet teas . We immediately think of fruity teas like Lemon Tea , a subtle blend of teas and real fruits, or more floral teas like Mince Alors Tea , which celebrates the meeting of green tea with lavender and rose petals, or even the timeless Jasmine Tea .

4- Make quality rhyme with generosity

There's nothing worse than a gift set that leaves you wanting more (or wanting more!). The trap is often having only one tea bag or infusion on hand, especially when you like it!

In the cardboard boxes of tea or infusions from 2 Marmottes, there are up to 15 different flavors, in 75 or 90 sachets.

The maxi box: the box of 120 wooden bags from the Jura filled with infusions and teas . Also available in an empty wooden box version, to fill yourself with a personalized assortment that will please your loved ones.

This not only allows you to enjoy tea time with others, but also makes the pleasure last!

5-Surprise with original recipes

Christmas also means surprises! For your gift box to make a statement, it absolutely must contain original recipes. Like rooibos , this small shrub that grows in Africa and really packs a punch once in the cup. Combined with blackcurrant, it will amaze the taste buds.

6- Mix teas and herbal teas

Why stick to tea when beautiful infusion recipes are catching your eye? Some Christmas gift boxes even combine teas and herbal teas. A joyful blend of plants, colors, and flavors to break the routine, discover new recipes, and let the holidays brew again and again.

7- Bluff the tea lover


Is your uncle Bernard a big tea drinker and you're afraid of making a mistake by giving him a box?

Impress him with the great tea vintages!

We think for example of organic black tea , with spicy and woody notes or even organic Yunnan green tea whose length in the mouth is simply incredible!

8- Play the spice card

A Christmas without spices is a bit like New Year's Day without champagne!

To keep the festive spirit going until the end, choose a gift set that contains spiced teas or herbal teas.

Cloves , Anise , Turmeric , Cinnamon , Black Pepper… There are plenty of recipes that are not lacking in spice!

9- Revisit the classics

While traditional recipes are a sure thing, there's nothing stopping you from subtly revisiting the classics. A mint tea with two mints? A lemon tea that blends green and black tea? A red fruit tea that invites hibiscus into its cup? Here's something to give your gift box an unexpected twist!

10- Add a tea accessory or a collector's mug

Now that you've found the tea or infusion set of your dreams, take the opportunity to complete your gift with an accessory (infuser, teapot, etc.) or a pretty matching mug.

The Happiness in the Cup Gift Set contains a Christmas mug and 8 flavors of teas and herbal teas without added flavors.

Bonus: favor made in France


It's true, in the end, why go far away to find a box when happiness is right at your doorstep?
