Top 5 Gift Sets
1) Cold Brew Tea Gift Set
Make your afternoon tea an iced one with a cold brew tea gift set. Cold brewing is a slow and gentle way to infuse tea that creates more intense flavors and aromas. This set has everything you need to brew your own at home, including organic and orthodox loose leaf teas. This means the tea is hand-picked and processed according to traditional practices and it is all sourced from small-scale, non-industrial tea farms. Brewing is easy—just steep the tea overnight in the container, strain, and enjoy.
2) Java Long Bean Pepper Gift Set
The Java Long Bean Pepper Gift Set contains several aromatic long peppers from the Indonesian island of Java. The long peppers have their own distinctive character, and when grated over your dish, you’ll detect the familiar black pepper taste along with surprising aromas of licorice, aniseed, and cinnamon with a spicy sensation towards the end.
3) Honor Artisanal Chocolate Gift Box
The Honor Artisanal Chocolate Gift Box is handcrafted and adorned with Nelumbo custom artwork. Includes an assortment of three Classic Bars, two Rasā Bars, and one vegan hot chocolate mix. Ayurveda inspired and created from handmade raw chocolates that are free of dairy, refined sugars, gluten, preservatives, and emulsifiers. Made in the USA.
4) Chef's Pack Spices Gift Set
Take dishes in a flavorful new direction. This spice gift set includes all eight of Curio Spice Co.’s signature (and one-of-a-kind) blends. The spices are directly sourced from growers and farms to ensure freshness and purity, and the set includes oh-so handy recipe cards to help get you cooking.
5) Premium Belt Gift Box
