Tea as favors for garden tour visitors
Anyone know where I can buy floral teas, in sachet form, to offer visitors to my garden during a garden tour? I’ve been searching but finding boxes of only one variety instead of a sampling of different teas with a flower theme. I did come across a Harney & Sons “Yellow and Blue” tea, 20 sachets per tin (I’m expecting around 15 people)made of camomile, cornflower, and lavender if I remember right. That might work but still thinking about a variety.
Yeesh. The Yellow and Blue from Harneys is only $5.99 for a tin of 20ct. but s/h is $5.50. ugh. Since the predominate colors in my garden are blues and yellows it would have been nice. Will have to think about it.
Depending on where you live there may be a way to get H&S at a store. In Canada they sell some Harney teas at Chapters, and I think they are more commonly found in store in the US. Maybe not though.
There are a few Harneys varieties on Amazon. Depending on who the seller is it might be an add on item if you are ordering other stuff. I have seen some tins at a few Targets too, but I have no idea how the teabags are packaged in those tins.
I have also seen variety sets of tea bags from high end companies at Homegoods/TJMaxx type stores.
Adagio has lots of different individually wrapped sachets available. The yellow ones are the herbals:

And I’m pretty sure almost all of their teas are available to purchase as sachets. There are only 15 in each package so you might be cutting it a bit close if you’re expecting 15 to come.
- Love love love Foxtrot! Typical chamomile/peppermint/rooibos blend
Lupicia also has sachets of teas, but they come 10 in a package, not individually wrapped.

- Elderflower & Chamomile for a typical floral blend
Steven Smith also has sachets.
You’re going to want to look at the symbols: S and T are both individually wrapped sachets. S has a fancier box though. Both contain 15 individually wrapped sachets. The pyramid symbol comes with 10 sachets, and I’m assuming they’re not wrapped.
I’ve seen the “tip-top box” at some higher end grocery stores.

- No. 67 Meadow sounds like it’d fit for you! Chamomile/rose
- No. 39 Fez was also very nice. Lemon and Spearmint.
TeaForté also has the absolute CUTEST tea pyramids! But they’re kinda expensive and I feel like I’m paying for the cute presentation, rather than the quality of the tea. You’re going to want to look at the pyramid sachets. If they’re party favours, these are the way to go cuz they’re so freakin adorable! But you do pay for it.
I KNOW they have another option for sachets of tea, they come in a tin of 20 sachets, but I can’t find it on the site :/

- Mojito Marmalade is a nice bright, pepperminty tea :)
Thanks, can always count on help from Steepsters. No Chapters stores nearby me in my rural community but could be further away in Cleveland or Columbus. A little too far. Good suggestion tho.
jump – thanks for those links.
Blooming teas are cool too, the huge flower that expands and fills up the cup. Mandala Tea has a gift box with 6, I don’t know if they have the best price you can possibly find but they ship fast.
