We are giving away one gift bag each weekday through December 21.
Happy Holidays from The Kitchn! | Previous Days' Gift Bags
Gifts: Tea, a two-volume set of books, and a Chantal personal teakettle and tea steep pot.
Author and Designer: Christine Dattner and Chantal
Shop: Tea available from Rizzoli for $29.95; Teakettle at Chantal for $35 and the Tea Steep is also at Chantal for $25.
Today we are giving away TWO sets of tea gifts. They each include a copy of this beautiful two-volume boxed set on tea, along with a Chantal teakettle and steeping teapot. Click for more info and to enter our giveaway!
We'll be curling up with a healing cup of tea as soon as the holidays are over, and we'd love to have this book set on our lap when we do. It includes both The History of Tea and The Taste of Tea. They're beautifully illustrated and photographed, chock-full of stories and information about tea.The books are both hardcover and 192 pages.
The Chantal teakettle and teapot are all you need to make a great cup of tea for yourself and maybe one other. The teakettle comes in the Onyx color, and the Tea Steep teapot is red. The teapot has a porcelain infuser that locks into the teapot and gives you plenty of space to brew your favorite loose-leaf tea.
To enter the giveaway, tell us your favorite kind of tea. Type your comment in the comment section below by 8:59 p.m. PT/11:59 ET on SATURDAY, December 22nd. The two winners will be selected at random.

Plain black loose leaf is my favorite, followed closely by ginger tea. A restaurant in town makes the best ginger tea. They brew fresh ginger with apples and prunes for hours. It's perfectly spicy and sweet.

Twining's Lady Gray, it reminds me of drinking tea on the porch in Norway looking at the sheep and the lake below us. The perfect way to remember an amazing vacation. But if it is early in the morning, then English Breakfast is my choice.

My old stand-by favorite is dragonwell. I love the pressed long leaves and nutty taste. But after a recent visit to my local Japanese imports store, I am hooked on their most expensive green tea (the proprietor led me immediately to it)...a gorgeous little white envelope with a jewel-like green image of the tea plant. All characters are in Japanese, so I have no idea what it is. But it is so wonderful and strong, not a hint of bitterness, and a lovely emerald green color.

I have to choose one? I suppose Earl Grey is currently my favorite (specifically the kind from a local tea room, Teaism), but I also enjoy Revolution Tea's Ginger Peach. The Chocolate Bar in New York City has a fantastic chocolate tea that is to die for, as well.
Wow, I wish I had some now.
