Are you looking for a unique and thoughtful gift this holiday season? Upton Tea Imports, a premier loose-leaf tea brand, offers the Good Fortune Tea Set, an experience that elevates everyday tea time. This set includes a 30g packet of Snowview Estate First Flush Darjeeling and a charming Baby Elephant Tea Pet, creating a meaningful gift for tea lovers.
The Good Fortune Tea Set combines exceptional taste with ethical purchasing. The First Flush Darjeeling tea is sourced from Snowview Estate, an Elephant Friendly Tea Garden in India. Alongside this premium tea is the baby elephant tea pet, a symbol of good fortune and happiness in Chinese culture. This small ceramic figurine from China is typically crafted from Yixing clay also known as ‘qing duan ni,’ giving it a hue that closely mirrors the color of a real elephant. In Chinese tradition, tea pets are traditionally cared for by gently rinsing with tea liquor during tea ceremonies, gradually developing a rich patina and pleasing aroma, and offering a sense of mindfulness and meditation.
With intricate details, from tiny wrinkles to soulful eyes, this petite pachyderm is placed on a tea tray and serves as a charming companion during tea-making. Imagine sipping your tea with this tiny companion by your side, reminding you to slow down and savor the moment. Each tea pet is nestled in a velvet-lined box with a brass latch, making it an elegant and thoughtful gift.
This uniqueness of the Good Fortune Tea Set brings a meaningful touch to holiday gifting, whether it’s for friends, family, or even a White Elephant party. The combination of ethical sourcing, cultural tradition, and premium tea makes it a perfect gift for any occasion, whether for a loved one or even for yourself.
Since 1870, Snowview Estate has cultivated premium teas while coexisting with local elephant herds that migrate through the estate to the Moortee River for drinking and bathing. In partnership with the Wildlife Friendly Enterprise Network, Snowview Estate became the first tea garden in Darjeeling to be certified as an Elephant Friendly Tea Garden in 2020, further ensuring the protection of these majestic animals.
Give the gift of good fortune and a delightful tea experience this season with Upton Tea Imports’ Good Fortune Tea Set.
