Tea Tumblers
These tea tumblers offer an easy way to support your wellbeing (and tea enjoyment!) wherever life takes you. Featuring stainless steel infusers and lids, these eco-friendly travel mugs are perfect for your favorite loose-leaf tea infusions, both hot and cold. With bamboo and glass options to choose from, these useful tea tumblers are sure to please the tea lovers in our lives.
Organic Loose-Leaf Teas
With teas ranging from delightful herbal blends to more classic favorites, you are sure to find a tea that accommodates the needs of any tea aficionado. For those needing a little added pep in the morning, we have black, green, white, and mate teas available. Our newest favorites include lapsang souchong, a black tea which carries a lovely smoky flavor, Harvest White Peony, that balances fruity sweetness with refreshing white tea, and dark roast yaupon, a tea that holds a sweetly roasted flavor somewhat like a good cup of morning coffee.
For those looking for caffeine free alternatives, our herbal tea blends, red teas, and select chais, are an excellent option. Our newest favorite herbal blends include Berry Bramble tea, which carries the sweetness of freshly picked berries, and Echinacea & Elder, a soothing blend formulated to support immune health*.
Cast-Iron Tea Pots
Perfect for entertaining guests or simply enjoying a pot of your favorite tea, these stylish cast iron teapot sets are a welcome addition to any tea lover’s collection. With the option of either a complete turquoise hued set, or a classic black nail head teapot and trivet, these cast iron teapots make for a beautiful gift. The turquoise set includes an 18 oz. teapot, stainless-steel loose-leaf tea infuser, trivet, and two matching cups. The 35 oz. black nail head cast iron teapot comes with a stainless-steel loose-leaf tea infuser, and matching trivet.

Scrub Butters
With two delightful options to choose from, Ohana Organics offers exfoliating scrub butters that feature a Hawaiian twist on the classics.

Their Neroli Scrub Butter is for those looking to gently exfoliate and cleanse skin by use of black lava salt and neroli. Either scrub butter would make a luxurious gift for those who like to relax and unwind.
Shampoo Bars
These organic, cruelty-free, and completely biodegradable shampoo bars from Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve are an ideal gift for anyone who often camps or travels, as they can very easily be packed for transport.
