Discover our Eid and Ramadan gifts. Whether you choose loose-leaf teas or one of our exclusive tea gifts this season, your gift will be sure to make this month of peace extra special.
The Essence of Ramadan & Tea Traditions
Subject to the sighting of the moon, the month begins this year on the evening of Wednesday 22 March. Ramadan is a month of fasting, reflection, and spiritual growth. It is celebrated with great gusto, marked by rich traditions and lively gatherings. One of these time-honoured customs is the consumption and gifting of tea.
Tea serves as a symbol of hospitality, friendship, and conviviality. Delighting in tea during Iftar, the fast-breaking evening meal during Ramadan and Suhoor, the meal eaten in the morning before dawn, rejuvenates the mind and promotes a sense of togetherness among family and friends.
Gifting Tea: A Gesture of Graciousness
Tea bears special significance in many cultures and norms, and it also makes a thoughtful Ramadan and Eid gift. Presenting curated collections of tea to loved ones, colleagues or business associates showcases a combination of politeness, respect, and cordiality.
Tea is known for its symbolism of hospitality, making it the perfect choice for this occasion. It rekindles connections and creates heart-warming memories.
The Best Teas for Ramadan
With a vast array of flavours and health benefits, the teas mentioned below are not only excellent choices to enjoy during Iftar and Suhoor, but also to gift your family and friends as a token of appreciation and goodwill.

Black tea is a perfect choice to enjoy and gift during Ramadan. Black tea is a universal favourite with its rich and malty flavours. Its robust flavour and aroma make it a great accompaniment to traditional dishes served during this month, while Newby’s premium quality ensures that it makes a luxurious, thoughtful Eid gift.
Tea connoisseurs will appreciate our award-winning selection of black teas, crafted with the finest ingredients from single-origin tea growing regions like Darjeeling or Assam black teas. We recommend our Crown Assortment of Black Teas, with six fine blends in individually wrapped and biodegradable tea bags to share and enjoy.
If you are looking for something original, you can shop our beautifully decorated caddy with Van Gogh's Almond Blossoms. The Almond Calm blend combines almonds and vanilla hints that add sweet notes to its full-bodied black tea taste. Crushed almonds add a slightly-toasted nuttiness.
