Mother's Day: A single day out of the year in which we choose to honor and love those who nurtured us and gave so much of themselves for us. How can we possibly reciprocate such love and devotion?
Whether a biological mother, step-mother, adoptive mom, bonus mom, a motherly figure, or simply a wonderful person who encourages and inspires you, tea is the perfect Mother's Day gift for almost everyone.
For the purpose of simplicity, I will use the term “mom” to mean anyone you choose to celebrate on Mother's Day.
How to Choose the Right Mother's Day Tea
If your mom is a tea drinker and you are not, you may want some help in selecting a specific tea.
The easiest way to find out what she likes is simply to open the cabinet and see what's there. If she's an avid tea drinker, she would be happy to talk your ear off about tea at the slightest suggestion from you.
Why do you drink so much tea? What do you like about tea? What's the difference between these teas? She might even start talking about the plants, so just hang on! However you get to it, take notes.
Plum Deluxe has a large variety of teas to suit every taste and likely has a variation on something Mom already loves.
In fact, the options may be overwhelming if you aren't as familiar with tea. So to make it even easier, simply choose one of our sampler kits - our best sellers kit is a great choice, and it comes with or without caffeine, or to be safe you can choose one of each.
Mother's Day Tea Gift Sets
More is not always better...except when it comes to tea!
Our gift sets offer a good variety of teas in gorgeous packaging - our tea gift tin is the most popular option, with a variety of designs and contents, but there are a thoughtfully curated collection of gift options. (The Café Society Mug is a particularly gorgeous option if I do say so myself.)
TIP: If you're snooping around and you find that overstuffed drawer or box full of all the tea-looking paraphernalia, this is a good sign that Mom probably doesn't need another scoop, infuser, or strainer, so stick with new tea flavors and maybe some treats too.
The Mother's Day Tea Gift that Lasts All Year
Some moms are adventurous with their food and like to try new flavors.
If this sounds like her and you want to love on her for more than just one day, consider getting her a subscription to the Tea of the Month Club. These are teas that are not available in our regular tea shop so she'll be at the forefront of new flavors.
You pick whether you would like Mom to receive one or two teas a month for 3, 6, 9, or 12 months, enter Mom's address, checkout, then sit back and let Plum Deluxe do the rest! We do all the work by picking the specific tea and making adjustments if Mom prefers no caffeine or is allergic to an ingredient.
It's often said that there is comfort in every cup of tea. So while we all know we can never thank Mom enough for all she's done for us, we can send her a moment of peace and comfort to show her we love her, one delicious cup of tea at a time.
