Qui-Gon is a master at keeping cool and relying on a neutral countenance to hide his feelings whenever the situation calls for it, and as such, Ezra's plain (but clearly heartfelt) gift-wrapping is regarded with an upturn of Qui-Gon's mouth and a gracious dip of his head. However, the way his eyes light up at the sight of small bag can't compete with well-practiced decorum.
"I see Obi-Wan has been spreading rumors," Qui-Gon chuckles, "Thank you."
He takes the present graciously from Ezra's hands and peeks inside, pulling out a couple of the packets and examining them thoroughly with an experienced taste. Although no expert in culinary arts, Qui-Gon does have an affinity for tea brewing. Regardless of the quality, he would've accepted Ezra's gift both without hesitation and without judgment, but he knows that for the young teenager, the show (hopefully) wouldn't cause offense, and would play an important role in cementing the sincerity in his next words.
"These leaves are outstanding. Where did you find them?"
