Shopping for dad can be tough. If he doesn’t already own it, chances are he’ll go out and buy it himself. We’re here to help you intercept him at the pass with our Father’s Day 2018 Gift Guide. We’ve analyzed zillions of dads to come up with a comprehensive list of teas and innovative accessories to suit all types of fathers. From the grill master to the tech-obsessed Elon Musk enthusiast, we’ve got gifts that’ll make him think, “I’ve got the best kids.”
Techie dad
Midnight Tea Press | $35
He’s got an Apple Watch, a GoPro and a couple of drones, but the must-have accessory your tech-obsessed dad doesn’t have is a Tea Press. Sleek and innovative, our all-in-one Tea Press offers the latest on-the-go tea technology with a powerhouse insulator that keeps tea hot (or iced) all day long. And like the best tech, it’s easy to use. Just pour, press and go!
Gardener dad
Green Spiral tea | $12.98 / 50 g
If your dad is at his happiest pottering around the yard, why not get him a green tea to match his green thumb? Packed with fresh flavours like fennel, arugula and romaine, our Green Spiral tea is earthy enough to win over any enthusiastic gardener. The best part? The used leaves will do wonders for the garden.
Brand new dad
Mother’s Little Helper Sachets | $10
Shopping for a first-time dad? There’s nothing a new parent needs more than sleep. Mother’s Little Helper is made with valerian root (aka nature’s Valium) and calming chamomile, which means one cup of this and sleep-deprived dad will be catching ZZZs in no time.
Bookworm dad
Black Customizable Nordic Mug | $23
Nothing says hygge like a book and a cup of tea. Our Customizable Nordic Mug is the perfect companion to your dad’s pile of paperbacks. Pair it with a tin of Midsummer Night’s Dream, a magical fruit infusion named for Shakespeare’s comedy. Score some literary points by personalizing his new mug with his fave quote.
Camping dad
Silver Lock Top Travel Mug | $34
This clever travel mug is made for the dad who can’t get enough of the great outdoors. Its handy locking lid prevents spills and leaks while keeping tea hot or iced for the duration of that 15 km hike. Plus it’s compact, light and slips easily into a backpack.
I-don’t-like-tea dad
Coffee Pu’erh tea | $8.98 / 50 g
They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but you can trick them into trying something different (and healthier). For the reluctant tea drinker, we suggest our Coffee Pu’erh tea. Made with real coffee beans and sprinkled with vanilla, this java-spiked blend is perfect for the diehard coffee fan. Just add a splash of milk and defy him not to like it.
BBQ dad
Aqua Blue Iced Tea Pitcher Press | $40
With summer comes the most fatherly of summertime traditions: barbecuing. Whether cooking for family or entertaining a crowd, our crowdpleasing Iced Tea Pitcher Press makes enough iced tea – 1.8 litres to be exact – to keep the heat at bay. Want to make the grill master extra happy? A pitcher of Cucumber White is the perfect Father’s Day drink.
The Modern Matcha Essentials | $40
Got a dad who’s always looking for something to fix? Our Modern Matcha Essentials kit will have him fixing his own drink in no time. Swap the screwdriver for a whisk, a Matcha Perfect Spoon and bowl and say hello to delicious matcha tea lattes. Top it off with our popular Peach Matcha to give him a boost of energy (not that he needs it).
