Happy Valentine’s Day! Celebrate Love With These Heart-Warming Teas
Tomorrow, we celebrate love. We pamper our romantic partners, if we are lucky enough to have them. But we also broadcast love to those most beloved to us—parents and children, siblings and cousins, friends.
But our hearts love more than people. We adore our pets. Some of us cherish nature, and embrace making things. If we are awfully fortunate, we even experience affection for our jobs.
Let’s revel in love tomorrow! Love in all of its forms. And also—let’s try to enshrine this supreme human quality every day. Not just once a year.
We were given this gift of love. In its grandeur, we have the license to frolic every day. We should!
Happy Valentea’s Day!
And of course, we can help stoke those heart-warm feels by sipping our favorite beverage! For tea lovers like us, the key word is in the description—tea Iovers. We absolutely love tea in all of its stripes, from a malty Darjeeling to a smoke puerh, a caramel-touched oolong or an herbal green.
And then there’s the herbal teas. When we enter that lovely world, we encounter many botanicals that boost heart health, deliver sweetness or ripen the warmth we already feel toward special people.
So let’s explore a few teas on this day before Valentine’s Day. And if the mood strikes, visit us at any of our shops, all of which are open on Valentine’s Day. You may walk away with tea for a loved one—as well as for your own heart.
Valentine’s Day Teas: Whisper of the Heart
The first blush of love in the animated classic “Whisper of the Heart”—it’s so lovely, so warm. We think of that wonderful film whenever we sip our Whisper of the Heart tea. Resting on a base of easygoing oolong, it brings about heart radiance through its other components: jasmine, lemon, heather, cornflower and apple. Together, the tea offers such a welcome and cozy embrace. Perfect for Valentine’s Day.
Valentine’s Day Teas: Sweet & Tart
This tea has it all for Valentine’s Day! It’s red, for one thing—the holiday’s dominant color. It also contains floral botanicals, like lavender and rose, that often get associated with love. Rooibos anchors the blend, and in addition to its earthy flavor it also delivers heart health. We also incorporate blueberry, elderberry, hibiscus, cinnamon, orange peel, ginger and rosehips to the wonderful tea. What animates this love-forward blend? Sweet and tart flavors! Just like the holiday’s iconic candy: Sweet Tarts.
Valentine’s Day Teas: Strawberry Shortcake
We think strawberry shortcake is such a love-forward dessert. It’s so simple. Yet so perfect, somehow. Ripe strawberries. Vanilla cake. Vanilla cream. We decided to honor this spectacular dessert with a tea, and it’s kinda’ perfect. To black tea, we add vanilla, strawberry and pink peppercorn. Why the peppercorn? It’s pink, for one! But it also gives the brew a certain kind of outstanding zing. Not spicy, just full of zest.
Valentine’s Day Teas: Sweet Heart Blend
All of our loves ones—even kids spending much of their day on playgrounds!—endure demanding days. For the little ones, they’re spending so much effort trying to just figure out how to be little humans! And for the rest of us, oh boy—so much work, so much worry about everything from personal health to the state of the economy to what to make tonight for dinner. We all deserve breaks! Indulge yourself with this beautiful caffeine-free herbal blend, with its romantic rose aroma, dazzling ruby color and sweet, vibrant taste. The herbs used in this blend, including peppermint, licorice and rosebud, have long been used in traditional Chinese medicine to aid digestion, promote a healthy heart and refine internal balance, helping to bring forth your natural beauty. It’s custom-crafted for Valentine’s Day.
Valentine’s Day Teas: Rooibos Truffle
We could not dive deep into our Valentine’s Day teas without championing one that involves chocolate! A Valentine’s Day essential! And this dream of a blend delivers. It’s a naturally caffeine-free rooibos blend with dark chocolate and coconut, flavors that most would agree marry with extreme amiability—even love! Savor this all Valentine’s Day!
