Good tea=can't go wrong. Mom is a tea fanatic, Pop always asks for black tea when he visits. Ai loves soba and chai tea. Haven't wars been fought over it?Mariage Frères is quite popular here, and the apothecary-like shop in Ginza and their many department-store-basement stalls are great for gifts.
Ai gave me one of the silver tea spoons with a scalloped scoop, and their "chocolats des mandarins" chocolates (2,940 yen) with tea look and likely taste divine. Their tea duos come in attractive patterned tins, boxed and ready to give. I recommend Coffret Lucky Number Tea, Oriental and Marco Polo.
