By Maison Boseong · Seoul, South Korea · November 2026 · 7 min read
Giving Korean tea at Christmas means choosing a gift unlike any other: a beautiful object, a new flavour, a trip to Seoul or to Jeju Island without leaving the holiday table. But between gift sets of tea bags, loose-leaf teas and prestige editions, it is not always clear where to start.
This guide sorts our gift sets by budget and by recipient, and tells you how late you can order so that the parcel, shipped from Seoul, arrives before the holidays.
1. Why give Korean tea
In Korea, tea is among the gifts exchanged between neighbours, colleagues and family members, especially during major holidays such as Chuseok. A gift set combines three rare qualities: careful packaging, a variety of flavours and a product you share around a table.
It is also a gift with a story to tell. Each set comes from a specific region, house or tradition, from Boseong to Hadong by way of Jeju. To explore the meaning of the gesture, read our article on the art of giving a Korean Grand Cru.
In Korea, a gift is often presented wrapped in a bojagi, a traditional wrapping cloth that is reused afterwards. We talk about it in our article on bojagi and wild teas.

3. Which gift set for the recipient
For someone discovering Korean tea: choose variety. The Tea Forest gift set or the Cube Special Edition gift set let them taste several teas and infusions with no risk of a wrong pick. Our guide to Korean tea can go along with the gift.
For a matcha lover: the Osulloc Electric Matcha Set (from €28.90) is a clever gift. To learn more before choosing, read how to choose your matcha and browse the matcha collection.
For a connoisseur: a Grand Cru Ujeon or a Ssanggye gift set speaks directly to someone who already knows harvest grades.
For a ritual lover: pair a gift set with an accessory from our The Art of Gesture and Ritual collection, after reading our article on the chaban, heart of the ritual.

Our parcels leave Seoul with Korea Post (K-Packet). Allow 7 to 15 business days for delivery. To keep a safety margin before December 24, order from the end of November, and at the latest in early December.
