If you’re stressing for a last-minute Valentine’s Day, Stash Tea has your back. The Stash Tea tasting room in Tigard is open with COVID-19 precautions in place, with two more business days to pick up some goodies for your Valentine! Get more details including hours of operation and location address here.

Whether you celebrate Valentine’s Day, Galentine’s Day, or any variation of Cupid Day, Stash Tea has brewed up a tea-licious assortment of gift, recipe, and activity ideas that you (and your significant other) will love.

Flowers are a lovely gift to receive, but you can’t enjoy them for very long. This year, think outside the tea box and shop Stash Tea’s Flower Tea Collection for a creative alternative to traditional Valentine’s Day gifts. These “flowers” don’t just smell wonderful but taste delicious and bold too. Preview some of their top floral teas below:

• Breakfast in Paris: Earl Grey with Lavender and Vanilla

• Jasmine Blossom: Green Tea with jasmine blossoms

• Dragon Phoenix Pearl Jasmine (loose): The finest downy green leaves are hand-rolled into small spheres and scented with fragrant jasmine blossoms

• Portland Blend (loose):  Blend of rich black teas, chocolaty cocoa nibs, the flavor of fresh raspberries, and visually accented with beautiful blue cornflower and rose petals for a V-Day treat that will really impress

If your sweetheart prefers sweets to flowers, try some of their popular brews from the Dessert Tea Collection. These zero-calorie teas will satisfy unruly cravings without feeling like you overindulged. Take a peek at some of their dessert teas below:

• Chocolate Mint: This smooth oolong tea pairs beautifully with natural chocolate and Pacific Northwest peppermint.

• Creme Brulee (loose): Right black teas combine with the natural flavor of toasty caramel for a rich blend.

• Jamaican Butter Rum: We combined fine black teas with natural Jamaican rum flavor, vanilla, and natural salted caramel flavor. Try this one with a splash of milk and a teaspoon of sugar.

  

  Blair Bouquet Glass Travel Tumbler: This is the perfect gift for that valentine who is always on the go. The lovely floral design complements this sturdy double-walled borosilicate glass. And can we talk about the natural bamboo lid? Chic. $25 [click image to learn more!]
