If you’re an avid tea lover looking to find some new favorite brews, you’ll love the convenience of having these convenient tea subscriptions delivered to your home every month. (These services also make great gifts!)

Handmade Tea
Handmade Tea started in order to offer unique natural teas as an alternative to the existing loose leaf varieties available in supermarkets. Today, Handmade Tea delivers blends of their handmade teas to member’s doors every month, as well as taste notes and a taste-along video that adds even more to the experience.

Rishi Tea World Tour
Rishi Tea World Tour members can choose from the Tea Adventures Tour, Flight Club Tour, or the Tasters Tour to customize the experience with preferred blends. The site even allows you to view each month’s tea before committing to a subscription package.

Tea Force One
Tea Force One is a monthly tea subscription membership that delivers two unique blends of tea every month. Each tea chosen is hand selected after extensive taste testings by the Tea Force One team, and only teas produced by small farm growers are included in the service.
