What tea flavors do you prefer for Valentine's Day?

I always get really into any and all holidays, so I have a couple set aside for that day, regardless of what I am doing. Butiki’s Champagne rose cream is definitely on that list.

I’m assuming you’re asking since you’re planning to put together a Valentine’s tea, so I’ll tailor my answer to that.

I haven’t actually tried any Valentines teas, but I’ve seen several. Most of them are Black teas with milk/dark chocolate and/or rose flavors/additions. A few have different bases. I know I saw Puerh, Oolong or White tea may work as well depending on what direction you take the blend. Other additions are things that pair well with chocolate and/or rose. I saw strawberry, raspberry, bergamot, white chocolate, mint, various other flowers, vanilla, caramel, and nuts.

The trick is to go for something decadent, romantic, and unique. If I were to go looking for Valentine’s Day teas right now I would probably want a Chocolatey Black or Puerh with Raspberry or Strawberry; Rose; and Cream, Vanilla, or Toffee flavors. Basically a specialty chocolate in tea form. I would also look for a Rose-based White, Oolong, or Herbal with another flower or two and maybe a hint of cream, vanilla, raspberry, or strawberry. Think a bouquet of flowers in a cup. I am a huge fan of herbal teas, and I don’t think I’ve seen many herbal valentines teas, so that would definitely interest me.

Something other than all rose and chocolate. I like vanilla and mint.
