How can I give out loose tea as a party favor for my tea party?

I don’t really want to give out large tins
they should fit in small boxes
and
what else should be put in?

You can package it in a double-layer of cheesecloth, which can be bought at any grocery store–usually in the baking aisle. Cut the cloth into rectangles, fold over and place the amount you’d like to give out in the center. Gather the corners together and tie the ‘bag’ with thread, then with a piece of pretty ribbon or raffia. Trim the excess as short as you’d like.

I would find some inexpensive Asian-style teacups (Cost Plus is a good place to find these), place the cheesecloth package inside it, and then put the entire gift into a cellophane gift bag (you can get those at Walmart) and tie with a longer length of the same ribbon or raffia. Simple and easy, and you usually don’t have to spend more than $2.50 per party favor.
