Monthly Tea Box - Curated Subscription - Gift
Give The Gift Of Tea

Most of the teas will be from our regular repertoire including special lots and others will be special offerings available only to club members. All fit our strict criteria of being Chinese, whole leaf, organic, directly sourced and most importantly, terrific!
Includes special secret bonuses and doodads, and a monthly missive from Mike.
Customer Reviews for Monthly Tea Box - Curated Subscription - Gift
I look forward to this every month. It gets me out of my tea rut. I get to try things I never would and have discovered so many amazing kinds of tea. You think a green is a green, an oolong is an oolong a black is a black but there is such a depth of variety within these categories. There is a lovely write up about each tea, not only the flavors but some history behind them. It's helped me understand how tea is made and why it is the way it is so much more. I liken it to gaining wine knowledge, it really helps you to select what you like a whole lot better.
This is an incredible company and I look forward to their monthly box every time. They give you more than enough tea to last and I adore the personal postcard and pamphlet describing each tea. The monthly boxes are very fairly priced too! You can tell they are truly passionate about tea and just want to spread their love for tea with everyone. This has become me go to for tea from now on and I will be sure to point everyone looking to find some high quality teas' in this direction as well.
My monthly tea box is my holiday gift to myself! The two teas are beautifully fragrant and taste delicious. I love supporting a Maine business with decades of knowledge and experience. This has replaced coffee for me. I appreciate the care and love that went into my box. Looking forward to next month!
Little Red Cup carries the best teas! I started drinking their tea when I lived in Maine, and I subscribed to the monthly tea box, which my wife and I look forward to every month and we have yet to be disappointed. I now have moved across the country, and there is an amazing tea store near me with a wall of loose leaf teas, probably the best store front tea shop I've even been to, and I still prefer the little red cup! My favorite tea so far is their yellow tea, but you really can't go wrong with anything they carry.
I am like a kid in a candy store. How exciting it is to get a package of thoughtfully chosen teas, a lovely newsletter explaining the choices, plus a handwritten note! It truly feels good to not only drink delicious, ethicallly-sourced and carefully chosen teas, but also to be a part of something positive in the world. This package lifted my spirits. I am grateful for this opportunity!
I wanted to try some new teas and have enjoyed LRC in the past. The subscription was a no-brainer. Hand-selected teas came with a personalized postcard, background info on each tea, and steeping instructions—I appreciated the attention to detail! Not to mention, the teas are lovely. A delightful experience all around!
Truly the best tea! Loved Mike’s advise of 8 full sniffs of the green tea. Looking forward to next month.
It has been exciting to get the Monthly Tea Box in the mail! We are long time customers, but it is fun to get a tea we haven’t had in awhile, or haven’t tried yet. Mike’s little booklet about the included teas is a great touch. I would strongly recommend it as a gift for a tea love (even if that lover is you)!
I really enjoy this monthly tea subscription! The variety is wonderful, and I especially love the opportunity to discover new teas I might never have tried otherwise. Each box feels like a little journey of exploration, with different flavors and tea traditions to experience. It’s a lovely way to broaden my tea horizons, and I genuinely look forward to each new box!
Thank you!

Thank you!
I have to say what an absolute pleasure it is to get a nice surprise every month from Mike and his Little Red Cup expertise! Thank you Mike what a great way to learn about the tea's we love and get to try the ones we haven't tried yet. For all of you who love good organic Chinese tea and like to try new things this is for you!
Teas are high quality and well curated. Personal note was a nice touch
Excellent choice varieties and Mike always has something interesting to say about the tea's and pairs them nicely with each month. For those who like nice surprises this is the one order you won't regret and you will get to know some really delicious tea's and where they come from.
A beautiful surprise and a great pairing for summer. White peony white tea and eastern beauty oolong is a really good pair. The white for the days to sip light and sweet. And oolong in the evening with a meal or just after into the night hours. Thanks Mike always appreciate the surprise of each months choices.
Mike always does it right. A nice surprise. To see what magic pairing of teas he'll send each month is a delight. So far we have not been let down. Thanks Mike.
Just received my first box. So Far So Good!
I got the Monthly Tea Box subscription as a gift and I have enjoyed it so much. The tea is truly great. I’ve never had such deeply flavorful teas before. But beyond that, the experience has been so wonderful. I love opening the box and reading the descriptive letter of the teas. There are even little gifts in some of the boxes! Overall I couldn’t recommend this subscription more and I wish only the beat for this company.
Love the subscription box! Choices are always fresh, different and interesting. Well done!
I just received my first months tea box from Little red cup. I was impressed by the packaging and then I tried the tea! I’m a relatively new tea drinker, and I don’t really know which ones I like yet. This monthly tea box is an amazing way for me to figure out which type of tea I like. Thank you so much for offering it!
I are just today steeped some of this delicious tea. Thank you for such great customer service sorting out my subscription.
The jasmine tea is so fragrant! I have never had a tea like this.
The black tea was very average.
Hoping for oolong and green tea and a different black tea.
I love the tea selection this month; every month trufully. Thank you
I love the first monthly tea box I received. Looking forward to others.

I love it. This is the second time I have done a subscription and it’s amazing how many different teas there are. I definitely gravitate toward black tea but even the green is interesting enough to try. Excellent.

Great company, great tea.
I received a tea subscription as a gift, I love it! The teas are smooth, full of flavor, and aromatic. Highly recommend for tea lovers :)
I received two lovely teas in my first box. One a springy green(Jade oolong) and the other a smoky green(Da Hong Pao). I really haven't had many oolongs, not any that stuck with me anyway. But both were instant new favorites. I can't wait to see what's next.

I LOVED the silver needle tea. So so good. The campfire tea.... not so much. The smoking smell alone was too strong the the taste is good but can't get around the strong smell. The bags of tea are a lot bigger than I expected
I am fairly new to Little Red Cup but every tea I've had so far has been excellent in quality: freshness, taste, smell and brew; the selection nicely covers a wide range, and my favorite part? Mike's Tea of the Month Club! Tea mail is the best mail!! Thanks!!
I love receiving specialty teas from such a personable company. I am enjoying my own morning tea ceremony with the new teas I just recieved.
This gift was a joy to have. The teas were amazing. We loved reading the informative pamphlets. I recommend this gift to anyone who loves tea.
Bought this for a friend. Didn't realize she preference was green tea and not black. Overall she has enjoyed the green teas sent to her. Impressed with packaging and personalized notes from Michael. Very professional.
I switched from another monthly box and am glad. I can’t get enough of Wuyuan Black tea and the Yu Lu green is one I already had in my collection from The little red cup and I’ve been reminded how much I enjoy it. I can’t wait for future selections.

Why Our Tea Is Organic
Tea is among the most heavily treated crops in conventional agriculture. When you steep tea leaves in hot water, you’re making an extraction—and that extraction doesn’t discriminate between flavor compounds and pesticide residues. Every tea we sell meets certified organic standards. Our teas are certified organic by the USDA and MOFGA (Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association), a leading independent organic certifier. This means no synthetic pesticides, no chemical fertilizers, and annual third-party inspections to verify it. We source from worker-owned cooperatives in rural, mountainous regions of China, where traditional growing methods align naturally with organic standards. These aren’t industrial plantations; they’re small farms where people have been growing tea the same way for generations. Healthier soil produces better tea. Plants grown without synthetic chemical inputs develop more complex flavor profiles. You can taste the difference.
