Mother's Day is just around the corner, and you may be wondering what to get your mom. Adding personal touches to gifts is always the way to go, especially with family. A great way to start your search for the perfect gift is by considering your mother's likes and dislikes. By doing so, you won't just show her you went through the effort to get her a gift, but also that you put some genuine thought into selecting it.
Mother's Day Gift Ideas for Tea Loving Moms
If your mother loves tea, you’re in luck because you'll find five heartwarming gift ideas for her below!
1. Buy your Mom a Tea Tour
Our good friends from Arigato Japan are fully back to physical tours in Japan now and have suggested a few tours in Tokyo and Kyoto that are good for tea lovers.

2. Matcha Maker
If your mother is a fan of the rich flavors and the intense yet beautiful colors resulting from the traditional Japanese tea powder known as matcha, then this tea maker will make the perfect gift for her.
The Cuzen Matcha Maker is an innovative at-home matcha system that produces freshly ground matcha from organic shade-grown leaves via a beautifully designed machine. The machine comes with matcha leaves, and it grinds them up into a powder, which is then whisked with water to create a shot of matcha. You can pour this shot into whatever drink you like, whether that's an Americano, a latte, or even a lemonade. The Cuzen Matcha Maker has a beautiful silver and white design and, at just 13.4 by 8.7 by 4.7 inches, a pretty small footprint. It's expensive, but it delivers one heck of a tasty cup of nutrient-packed tea.
Your mother will love trying her new machine while enjoying the rich, buttery flavor characteristic of this healthy beverage. Since the process involves infusing and ingesting the leaf powder in its entirety rather than steeping loose tea leaves in water, the health benefits of the tea are increased and help cleanse the body.
3. BALMUDA MoonKettle
If your mom prefers something sleek, modern, and beautifully designed, consider pairing—or even replacing—the traditional teapot with the BALMUDA MoonKettle. This Japanese-designed electric kettle combines form and function in a truly elegant way. With a gracefully curved handle, precisely engineered spout, and a gentle boiling sound that many describe as soothing, it offers a controlled, quiet pour that’s perfect for tea lovers who appreciate the subtle ritual of making a cup.
Its compact size makes it a great fit for any kitchen, and the fast-boiling feature ensures that hot water is always just moments away. Whether your mom enjoys green tea, herbal blends, or anything in between, she’ll love how effortless and calming this kettle makes the process. It’s not just a kettle—it’s a beautiful everyday object designed to elevate her tea time.
I’m currently working on a full review of the BALMUDA MoonKettle, which will be available soon. But even before the review is out, I can confidently say this would make a stylish and thoughtful gift for any tea-loving mom. You can check it out on Amazon here.
4. One-touch Kettle
This gift is perfect for mothers who love drinking tea but don't necessarily enjoy making it.
This teapot may look like any other glass teapot, but it doesn't stop at a simple brew, as this teapot infuses the tea at the appropriate time and temperature according to the tea chosen.
Features
- The capacity of the teapot is forty fluid ounces, which is enough to serve a party of five or more.
- The LCD display allows you to easily customize the options to make the perfect brew every time with minimal effort.
- Its six modes include white, oolong, green, black, herbal, and custom, covering nearly every type of tea out there.
- The unique mesh agitating basket moves on its own after sensing that the water has heated up. Once the steeping is done, the basket rises from the water to prevent oversteeping.
Simply put, this means you can simply start the brew and walk away to do whatever needs to be done, which is great for those who are constantly on the move or enjoy multitasking. Don't worry—the "keep warm" setting will prevent the tea from getting cold.
When thinking about all those nights your mother struggled in the kitchen alone to set dinner on the table, this nifty teapot sounds like the perfect gift to recover lost time and minimize effort. She no longer has to hassle with other teapots that require her to watch them so the tea isn't too strong or too weak because this one will brew the perfect cup every time.
All she has to do is throw some tea leaves and water into the machine, and the rest is done for her!

5. One-of-a-kind Handmade Teapot
Some mothers love receiving unique gifts. Especially when they know they are the only ones of their kind in the world.
If your mother is this type of person and shares an appreciation for art, these beautiful stoneware teapots and teacups from Japanese Green Tea Co. will make the ideal set for her to enjoy her tea.
This gift is perfect for those who share an appreciation for the environment and are very down-to-earth. It’s also special to know these pieces were specifically handmade with care to be enjoyed for a long time by someone who is just as well-loved and cared for.
6. A Lasting Monthly Tea Subscription
A monthly tea subscription is one of those gifts that keeps on giving. Japanese green tea promises authentic, fresh tea delivered right to your mother's doorstep.
What's even better? The type of tea delivered can be changed with ease, and the subscription can be paused if your mother is ever away from home for an extended period of time. Best of all, there are many fresh and healthy teas to pick from on their website. Your mother will greatly appreciate your concern for her well-being and thoughtfulness every month with the arrival of her tea care package.
Spend Quality Time with your Mom by Enjoying Tea Together on Mother's Day
Perhaps the most genuine gift you can give your mom (on Mother's Day or any other day!) is to simply spend time with her, enjoying her favorite beverage.
Material gifts are a nice gesture. But the unconditional bond between a mother and child stands strong at the end of the day. Something as simple as grabbing two cups of freshly brewed tea and sharing an intimate conversation with her is a heartwarming experience on its own.
It's also important to remember that it doesn't have to be Mother’s Day to celebrate mothers everywhere.
At least one of these creative ideas is sure to be a great match for your mother. Even if you’re not a tea expert, consider yourself knowledgeable enough to make an informed decision. Think carefully about what your mother needs the most or what she would get the most out of. Some tea lovers enjoy the process of making the tea themselves, while others simply prefer drinking their favorite tea at the end of a long day.
Use this opportunity as a bonding experience with your mother this Mother's Day!
