Valentine's Day

Tea and Valentine's is not the most traditional combination. But if you want to warm your loved one's heart with a last-minute tea-related gift, there are some great options:

• Tea-infused chocolates. Yes there is such a thing! Try looking in gourmet shops, as well as tea shops. (I have even spotted something of the sort in a local HomeGoods store!)
• Rooibos. This yummy tea is a delicious and healthy Valentine's gift. It's great for those of us who like creating neat gift packages. Try enclosing it in a clear bag: it matches all the colors of the season!
• Tea in a tin. Lots of tea stores sell their products in beautiful tins, and if you can't find one pre-filled with tea, just pick one up anywhere and fill it with looseleaf tea. Note that you may have to line some tins.
• A tea starter kit. This is always a great gift! Check Adagio Teas for kits with black, green, or herbal tea.

No matter what you choose to do to celebrate, enjoy today!

Happy Sipping,
