I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite tea cozies from Amazon for this “Christmas Gift Ideas for Tea Lovers” post. I only recently used my first tea cozy and fell instantly in love. There’s something extra, extra comforting and… you guessed it, cozy about using a tea cozy.

Talk about well-named.

The Red and Grey Tea Cozy to the right is one of my favorites. Given that I love cats even more than I love tea, it isn’t surprising.

This thick, durable knitted cozy fits large cups and mugs – making it as perfect for coffee and hot chocolate as it is tea.

The cozy is made of 2 layers of knitted fabric and thick enough to protect your fingers while keeping your tea hot longer. Cozy has 2 strings above the handle to keep it in place.

Made from 50% wool/ 50% acrylic yarn.
Colors – red/burgundy mix, grey heather. C
cozy dimensions (unstretched): about 4”h x 10′ w (9 cm x 24.5 cm).

Hand wash, dry flat. Mug not included. See Red and Grey Tea Cozy for more information.

I also love the teal tea cozy, pictured below.

The Teal Cozy also keeps your hands from getting burned while keeping your hot beverage hot.

I love the button more than I can tell you. Talk about stylish! It fits cups and mugs that have a circumference of 10.5 inches and a height of 4 inches.

See teal tea cozy for more information about this particular tea cozy.

Amazon has more handmade tea cozies (click the link for the entire beautiful collection) than you can imagine – in tons of styles, colors, and designs. You can find the perfect one you have in mind.

There are also a lot of tea cozies for coffeehouse-style drinks (pictured below).

The beautiful hand-crocheted cup sleeve cozy on the right is a perfectly thoughtful gift idea for any coffee or tea lover.

It adds style to your cup, while also protecting your hands from heat or condensation.

People who frequent coffee shops (I’m raising my hand, here) can keep a few in their car, or even their handbag, for times when you simply must stop by the coffee shop before you go to your next destination!

This cozy is also easy to clean – simply hand wash and let it air dry.

Handmade to fit 12 to 20 oz to go coffee cups. The cozy is pictured here on a Starbucks 16-ounce plastic reusable cup (not included with purchase, of course!). It measures approximately 3.5 to 4 inches in height.
