If you like tea, appreciate tea, or just want to have more tea in your life, then becoming a member of a 'tea of the month club' is a wonderful way to do this.

There are many tea websites or tea shops that run such a program. Indeed it is the perfect way to get to know a whole variety of teas. Each month, as a member, you are sent a number of teas - usually loose leaf and of high quality. Every month the selection is different. This way you become familiar with lots of teas, certainly some you would never have thought to buy yourself. It can be like a great tea surprise package that comes to your door every month.

Not only can you enjoy the teas yourself, but you will discover the wonderful world of tea. Oftentimes, you will discover a certain tea becoming a favorite. In fact it's a good idea to always take notes about the teas you drink. This way you will be able to find that certain tea for a special occasion.

Of course, you can also combine this with a once a month tea party. This is a great way to invite friends and neighbors to enjoy different sorts of teas. You can prepare small tea sandwiches and/or small pieces of cake to go with the teas. Everyone will have a great time and it will become a firm date in your calendar every month. It is so much fun to share your different teas with others and find out who prefers which variety.

Also many of the tea of the month clubs ship seasonal tea. So in the summer, you would probably receive some 'refreshing' teas such as rooibos, Earl Grey or fruit teas. Fruit teas are especially welcome on hot summer days served cold with ice and lemon. In the winter months some spiced teas will be on the menu to add their warmth to the cold season.

You can also make gifts of teas to your friends and family and once you have converted them to avid tea drinkers, you can even give them a tea of the month gift card, which some tea supplier's offer.

The subscription time is up to you but it's usually six or twelve months which is good time frame to get to know quite a variety of teas.
