  2. Tea & coffee gifts2

    Premium tea and coffee, gift sets, and the things to brew them.

    • Before you buy: ask how they brew: whole beans need a grinder, and ground coffee must suit their method — coarse for a French press, fine for espresso.
    • Not for: someone who drinks one brand only and won't switch

How this list is made: only two hard rules — it stays within your budget and never shows what you asked to avoid. Everything else ranks rather than removes, each pick shows which of your answers it matched, and nobody pays to appear here. How GiftScene works
