Why It Belongs Together
Three Pieces. One Story.
The hardcover book for the recipes. The mug for the koko. The towel for the bench. Each piece works on its own. Together they hold a Samoan afternoon.
Built to Be Passed On
The hardcover lives on the shelf for forty years. The mug becomes the koko mug. The towel goes on the bench every Saturday. This is a gift the aiga keeps.
From the Aiga
Samoan-owned. The recipes came from Lasi's family. The Elei design runs across all three pieces. Every piece in this box carries the same hand.

Lasi's family. Lasi's recipes. The bench in your kitchen.
In 2019, after a measles outbreak in Samoa killed 83 people, Justin and Lasi started The Koko Samoa from her family's cacao plantation high in Samoa's mountains. What started with a single cup of koko became a way to pour prosperity back into the villages. The Samoan Tea Time Gift Set is the bench version of that story. The book holds the recipes. The mug holds the koko. The towel holds everything else.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What's in the Tea Time Gift Set?
What's in the Tea Time Gift Set?
Three pieces. The Samoan Tea Time Book, a landscape hardcover keepsake with six traditional tea time recipes (masi popo, pani popo, panikeke, keke saiga, fa'apapa, German buns). The Koko Samoa Elei mug (white for AU/NZ, black for the USA). The matching Elei microfibre tea towel. All three arrive together in one box.
How long does the gift set take to arrive?
How long does the gift set take to arrive?
All three pieces are made to order. Production runs four to five working days, then shipping. For AU and NZ orders, plan around three weeks from order to doorstep. For the USA, plan around three to four weeks. If the gift date is tight, order early. Tracking sends the moment your order ships.
Is the white mug a different product than the black mug?
Is the white mug a different product than the black mug?
Yes. The AU/NZ version of the Tea Time Gift Set ships with the Elei mug in white. The USA version ships with the Elei mug in black. The book and tea towel are the same across both versions. Pick the box that matches your country at checkout.
Can I buy the pieces separately?
Can I buy the pieces separately?
Yes. The Samoan Tea Time Book sells on its own. The Elei mug sells on its own. The Elei tea towel sells on its own. The gift set price is built so the three pieces together cost less than buying them individually. If the recipient already owns the mug, buy just the book.
Is this a good gift for a housewarming, wedding, or baby shower?
Is this a good gift for a housewarming, wedding, or baby shower?
This is exactly what it was built for. The hardcover lives on the shelf for forty years. The mug becomes the koko mug. The towel goes on the bench every Saturday. For housewarmings, wedding showers, the niece moving into her first flat, and the aunty who has everything but does not have this. Fa'afetai lava.
