Green Tea Gift Baskets
How to Prepare a Green Tea Gift
Basket
If you're looking for a thoughtful and healthy gift to give to friends, family or
co-workers, green tea gift baskets are always a great gift idea. There are many healthy benefits to green tea in
addition to its well known weight loss benefits.
Green tea contains a powerful antioxidant called EGCG, which is an extract from the
green tea leaves. Antioxidants help keep our bodies healthy and fight off colds, infections and diseases. Green tea
leaves contain EGCG that is twice as much as a normal daily allowance of Vitamin E. Giving a green tea gift basket
is like giving a gift of wellness, or wishing the recipient good health.
Some people use green tea extract oil on their face as an astringent, as it helps
fight acne conditions. This is because of the hormonal balance that green tea provides the body. It is a natural
way to promote skin healing and health.
Variety of Green Teas to Choose From
Green tea gift baskets can be comprised of many different kind of green teas. There
are a variety of fruit flavored green teas to choose from, which make a flavorful addition to any tea gift basket.
You can either purchase a green tea gift basket that is pre-made from an internet shopping store, or buy individual
packets of green teas to create your own green tea gift basket.
A green tea gift basket is especially thoughtful in the winter months. Serving a
hot beverage such as green tea warms the body during cold weather. Green tea also can boost the immune system with
an ingredient called bioflavonoid, which aids in respiratory function and digestion. This is a wonderful benefit to
help fight off illness when people are more prone to it in the winter months. For a nice honey flavor that also
soothes a sore throat, you can also try including honey swizzle sticks to stir the green tea and allow the flavor
to soak into the beverage.
Decaffeinated Green Tea Products
There are also decaffeinated green tea products available for friends and family
members that are not fond of caffeine or do not drink caffeine. You can also fill your green tea gift basket with
decaffeinated green tea if you prefer. There are still many kinds and flavors of decaffeinated green tea available
to make a plentiful selection of teas for your tea gift basket.
Other great items that you can include in green tea gift baskets are snacks to go
along with your teas, such as dried fruits, lightly salted nuts, bite size pretzels or tea cookies. Another great
idea is to include flavored stir sticks in your tea gift baskets. There are a variety of flavors available to offer
a fun way to sweeten tea as it is consumed.
Customize Your Green Tea Gift
BasketsOther ways to customize your green tea gift baskets is with
some unique items such as scented candles. Jasmine and lavender scents compliment tea baskets well. Another idea is
a nice tea cup or a small flower arrangement in the center of the tea gift basket to add a personal touch.

gift basket to personalize it for your recipient. The best thing about green tea gift baskets is that they can be
