Tea can make an elegant favor for your wedding or to add to your guest bags.  There are a huge selection of teas available but I would suggest trying a sample before choosing one as your favors.  Good tea is a wonderful thing, but poor tea, even in a pretty package, is really awful and not the memory you want your guests to take away with them. 

Beautiful packaging for your guests.

Tea and an infuser perfect to add to a guest bag.

These come in assorted flavor and combinations.
