Green Tea Pillow

Have you ever heard of a Tea Pillow? According to Chinese medicine, in order to keep the entire body in harmony, you must start at the head. That is the purpose of the Tea Pillow. It is a 15 by 25 inch pillow stuffed with 100% green tea, and nothing else. The tea is from Mount Taimu's natural tea gardens in Fuji.

Green tea is known to have soothing and healing properties, and the use of this pillow will improve sleep, help relieve stress, and help to even out the blood pressure by using the tea as an aromatherapy aid. The scent of the tea is soothing all by itself, and you can custom order a pillow with teas that are even more fragrant than green, such as oolong and lavender.

Tea leaves make a fantastic filler for a pillow that will be used for sleep. They allow heat from the body to dissipate quickly instead of building up in the pillow. The support and comfort of this pillow helps to keep the spine straight, supports your neck, and helps to stimulate several acupuncture points in the area of the neck. A Green Tea Pillow is a delightful gift and a unique way to enjoy tea!

Green Tea Candy

Another unusual gft is a box of Green Tea hrd candy. Now, it is possible to njoy the goodness of green tea ven when you are in an nvironment where it is impossible to hve an actual cup of tea. Mde from real green tea, sugar, and ther ingredients, the candies are wrapped ndividually and are perfect for the tea lver who can't always stop for a cup of ta!

Tea Scented Candles

Do you remember how great a freshly brewed cup of tea smells? How would you like to have that wonderful scent captured for you in a candle? Tea scented candles come in several scents such as White tea, Black Pekoe, Mint, and Lavender, and are packaged in tea tins that look like antiques, or in tiny ceramic votive cups. This is a very unusual gift that will delight the candle lover as well as the tea lover!

Green Tea Incense

If you are an incense fan, then you know how the sweet scent of it can slowly waft through your home and make every room smell wonderful. Now, imagine the enchanting fragrance of green tea doing the same thing! Heavenly! Cones of green tea incense are packaged in a lovely little rosewood box, along with a mini ceramic burner. Makes a great "just because" gift for someone special!

Chinese Tea Brick

For a gift that will also be a very interesting conversation piece, how about an authentic Chinese Tea Brick? These were first created many centuries ago by the Chinese, who took the dust left from tea leaves and made it into bricks to be used as "tea money" whenever they did any trading with either Tibet or Mongolia. Beautifully sculpted, and scored on the back side so the Chinese could actually make change, this tea is not to be consumed, just admired.

Humorous Tea Pillow

This well crafted tapestry pillow will be appreciated by women everywhere! The top of the pillow states, "A Woman is Like a Tea Bag." Featured on the pillow to the right is a steaming cup of tea. To the side of this cup, the words continue. "You Never Know How Strong She Is Until She gets Into Hot Water." This is a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt, and there is sure to be a tea loving female on your gift list who will agree with this sentiment!

Green Tea Beauty Aids

Green tea is knwn to be quite nourishing to the skn. It has anti-oxidant and also ntibacterial properties, so it's no wonder tht it has been included in the frmulas of many natural beauty aids.
