The memes would have you believe that mothers subsist solely on wine and coffee, but what the algorithm doesn’t want you to know is that the true source of mom’s magical powers is a drink that dates back to the third century AD. We’re talking, of course, about tea, the second-most widely consumed drink in the world after good old plain water.
Yet despite its ubiquity, tea doesn’t seem to get its due around gift-giving moments like Mother’s Day. Which is a damn shame, because those fragrant, flavorful, caffeinated leaves offer something for everyone. Different teas have been said to make people more relaxed, energized, focused or even smarter. With that in mind, we rounded up a half dozen or so of our favorite teas, kits and accouterments from the farmer-first tea company Verdant Teas. Their team is committed to bringing teas never before seen outside China to the rest of the world through a unique direct trade model. They maintain personal relationships with some of China’s preeminent tea growers, tasters and graders. Who each crafts every batch of Verdant Tea by hand. They’ve got something for everyone, regardless of which of mom’s superpowers needs a little boost.
