Winter Wonder
Teaposy Snow Dance Gift Set
by Anna Kaufman

All gift-givers dream of evoking that reaction: part surprise, part awe, pure delight. But even with so many products available, a truly unexpected gift can be hard to find. However, with Teaposy’s gorgeous Snow Dance gift set, you’ll find your luck flourishing. The murmurs of appreciation will begin as soon as the beautiful Daydream teapot is unwrapped. This hand-blown glass pot is sturdy and heat-resistant but maintains an illusion of delicacy with its graceful, crystal-like handle and clever spout, which includes a filter for loose leaf tea. It begs to be tried out right away, a process which will transform murmurs to oohs and ahhs. Place a single bud of Teaposy’s Let It Snow tea (six are included in the set) at the bottom of the pot and add hot water; almost instantly, it will blossom into a beautiful flower, a combination of Silver Needle white tea leaves and a cheerful chrysanthemum. A sprinkling of coconut fruit fiber is also unleashed, to float gently through the water like fresh-fallen snow. Together the round pot and the delicate blossom have the look of a lush, living snowglobe.

The Snow Dance set is the perfect seasonal gift with a new twist…and a fresh taste. In about five minutes—during which this will be one pot you will want to watch—the tea is ready to drink. Let It Snow is far from frosty; the tea brews to a surprisingly warm, hearth-like honey-gold color, and the lightly nutty flavor and fragrant jasmine scent are perfect for a winter’s day—whether there’s real snow outside or sun and palm trees. And after everyone’s warmed their hands and tantalized their tongues, the teaposy can be reused for a second round of cups, or the pot can be filled with cold water and the blossom left on display for up to several weeks. Like a perennial flower, this gift will set the tone for the season, and inspire awe every time it blooms.
