Tea Caddy UK question

[tinksmom02]

Hey all! Our trip is only NINE short days away! Ack, I can do a pre-trip report now! Anyway, I'm doing a Secret Santa thing for someone I don't really know well. She said she likes tea so I was thinking about heading to the Tea Caddy while we're in epcot.

My question: are there teas there that can't normally be found in other places? I don't want to get her something that I could just as easily get at Target or something. I don't drink tea, so I'm not really sure what I should be looking for.

As always, TIA!

They have a variety of teas. One of my favorite flavors is Twinings Lady Grey. I have only been able to find lady grey at Epcot (and twinings website). They have Alice in wonderland themed tea packages. They also have really cute and unique teacups, teapots and tea bag holders. I am sure you will find an awesome gift for any tea lover there.

I would go with the Alice in Wonderland tea because you definitely can't get that anywhere else! Twinings is good but available at the grocery store.

I just went there tonight for the first time and I did find a bunch of different Twinings tea that they don't have at the grocery stores...like some Christmas flavors!

The Alice in Wonderland teas are a good choice, they also carry some tea brands that are popular in the UK that we don't get here. Last time I was there I got some wonderful honey straws that are perfect for a single cuppa. It would be a great choice for a secret santa shopping trip. I think this is the store that also carries a great selection of Birtish biscuits and chocolate, McVities are a wonderful tea biscuit for a dark or rich tea.
Good Luck!

thank you everyone--I'll make sure to add the Tea Caddy to my "must-shop" list!

Greatly appreciated!

If you want to do something out of the ordinary, check out the teas and accessories in Japan. I bought my mother-in-law a beautiful teacup, tea, cookies and a cute Japanese-doll teaspoon - all for around $20!

My mom collects tea pots and I got her a really cool Alice and Wonderland one at the UK pavillion for around $25
