The Barstow House - Visit Our Gift Shop

Visit Our Gift Shop

We offer gifts for the tea-lovers in your life. Whether coming for afternoon tea or staying for a few days with us, you may find just the right gift at The Barstow House 1888. (Or maybe a little something for yourself. . . .) You don't have to be visiting as a guest or coming for tea; you may stop by at any time to visit our gift shop, or call to ask about what we have in stock. We regularly add new items. You'll leave with your purchase tucked in a handy gift-bag. Your wrapping is done!

Tea Cup Gifts

Consider an antique fine bone china tea cup gift. Our tea cups come from such English companies as Royal Albert, Grafton, Royal Vale, Ranford, and others. Each cup is wrapped in a clear gift bag and contains gourmet chocolates and a variety of tea bags. Unlike "supermarket" tea bags that contain the "crumbs" of leftover tea, these tea bags are full of quality full-leaf loose tea.

Tea and Supplies

The very best way to enjoy tea is to practice the fine art of steeping tea in its natural form. This can be done best by using full-leaf loose teas of the finest quality. If you would like to begin "serious" tea drinking, you'll need the necessary supplies! See our shop for small quantities of loose, full-leaf teas to sample (Earl Grey, Peach, British Breakfast, and others). A "Brew Basket" allows you to use a mug, cup, or teapot to brew your full-leaf loose tea.

If tea bags are your preferred method of drinking tea, we have the best you can find anywhere. The new full-leaf bags from the Republic of Tea are as close to drinking loose leaf tea as you can get.

In Addition. . . .

Treat yourself to a beautiful water bead teapot and the exquisite Ginger Peach tea by Republic of Tea. Arranged in a wooden gift box, it will surely surprise a tea-lover in your life. (Ginger Peach tea is the most requested tea at The Barstow House 1888 tea room!)

Discover books on Victorian life, as well as tea for children that is both healthy and caffeine-free.

You'll also find lovely individual tea pots and mugs. Our collection changes frequently, so stop by to see what's available. Call or email if there is something special you are looking for.

This beautiful mug comes with four Republic of Tea full-leaf tea bags for the individual tea-drinker, as well as our own "Green Tea Shower Gel" from Emz Blends. A lovely gift for someone special.

This tea pot is perfect for that quiet winter afternoon with a good book. Holds approximately 3-4 cups of tea.

This teapot warmer will keep your tea at just the right temperature.
