Father’s Day is coming up, and for many dads the perfect accompaniment to their book, sport-watching or pottering around the house is a cup of tea, made just the way they like it. 

Get ready for some puns and groan-worthy jokes ahead, because what's Father's Day without dad jokes?

Use this gift guide to celebrate Dad no matter if you're together this Father’s Day or far apart. Not only have we curated a list of teas that make for great gifts, we've also included some tea-related activities, gear, and recipes to help quench his thirst. Without further a-brew, here's our 2021 Father's Day Gift Guide.

Mugs & Cups

2. Handcrafted Sasquatch Mug

A dad in its natural habitat shares many of the same characteristics as everyone’s favourite mythical (or is he?) woodland creature: reclusive, monosyllabic (if that) and somewhat mysterious in its habits. Show your dad you care by giving him this mug depicting a not-so-distant relative roaming freely through pristine woodland, not a care in the world. This mug is handcrafted in Oregon, and holds a sasquatch-sized amount of brew: 14 oz! $20.95 | Shop Now

This mug speaks of building campfires, catching huge fish (no, really, it was this big!) and gettin’ back to nature—something all dads in urban habitats long for now and then. It is inspired by the Pacific Northwest and made in America, and when you get back from your camping expedition, it can be put in the dishwasher or microwave. $19.95 | Shop Now

4. Chemistry Lab Beaker Mug

Few dads are immune to the allure of science-y, geeky looking paraphernalia. This extra large 16 oz beaker features the chemical composition of a caffeine molecule.

Fun Activi-teas for Father’s Day Bonding

 

• Brew yourself and your old man a good strong cup and sit down with some family albums or home videos for a stroll down memory lane; make sure some tissues are on hand when the tears start flowing about how thick and luscious his hair used to be.

• Cook up one of our delicious tea-infused recipes (see below for a few suggestions) together while blasting your favorite songs; the neighbors can deal with it. 

• Treat dad to a home spa experience with a tea-inspired foot soak. For the foot soak, combine epsom salts and a fragrant loose leaf tea (may we suggest peppermint?), in a 4:1 ratio and add to a tub of warm water. Get those hairy dad feet out of their shoes and into the tub quickly and let 'em soak. Follow up with a foot rub and your dad will be purring (or more likely snoring) with happiness in no time. Store any remnants in an airtight container for future foot soaks!
