By Erika Robertson

You dread the idea of another mundane Valentine’s Day spent amid crows of people. You hate paying for that sub-par and overpriced “prix-fixe dinner”, surrounded by irritable couples and grumpy overworked waiters. But we have some creative ideas to make the holiday fun and maybe even infuse some romance into the day. 

This year, put a spin on the romantic holiday with a Valentine’s tea! Replace your crowded date night dinner outing with an intimate evening filled with delicious food, tea, and thoughtful presents they will actually enjoy using.

Tea time is romantic, fun, and perfect for tea lovers and newbies alike. Let’s explore some brilliant tea-time ideas for her, for him, or for anyone who loves this romantic holiday. The two of you are sure to remember this Valentine’s tea for years to come — and who knows? This might even turn into an annual tradition!

Valentine’s Day Afternoon Tea - An Elegant Surprise for Her

Romantic Valentine’s afternoon tea for two

If you want to impress her this Valentine’s Day with over-the-top feminine flair, throw an Afternoon Tea party for just the two of you. There might be nothing daintier and more delectable than Afternoon Tea. She will love eating crustless finger sandwiches, mini sweets, cakes, and scones

To make the ambiance extra special finish the tablescape with a showstopping vase or many small vases full of fresh-cut flowers. Set the table with beautiful plates, sparkling utensils, and tea cups and saucers. Complete the look with doilies, white lacy napkins, and maybe even a light scattering of flower petals strewn across the table for a dramatic effect. 

Valentine’s Tea Gifts for Her

No Valentine’s tea celebration is complete without a thoughtful gift. The Buckingham Palace Tea Set is accented with rose gold and exudes the elegance of English Royalty. This is a tea set that’s perfect for an avid tea drinker or a novice tea drinker. Pair this set with the Floral Variety Tea Collection so she can enjoy the art of blooming tea flowers over and over again. 

If she drinks tea on the go, the All-Purpose Insulated Tumbler will be a gift she uses every single day. This tumbler comes with an infuser for making hot or iced tea, infused water, and even coffee. Now, she can enjoy all of the radiant flavors of quality tea wherever she goes  — and add the World Loose Leaf Tea Variety so she can explore even more new tea flavors.

Valentine’s Evening High Tea - A Decadent Meal for Him

Nothing says “I love you” more than a robust candlelit dinner for two. He may or may not appreciate the delicacies of Afternoon Tea, but everyone is a fan of High Tea — It’s simply a hearty evening meal paired with a pot of delicious hot tea.  

What should you serve for High Tea? — Anything you want! 

Make his favorite roast, or a mouth-watering pasta dish complete with all of his favorite sides. Add a touch of elegance to your meal by serving it in courses. Start with soup or a salad, then the main course, and finish your evening with a rich and satisfying dessert. 

You can serve any kind of tea with your meal, but it’s best if you stick with a neutral-flavor tea that supports the hearty flavors of a heavier dinner — try a Darjeeling or an English Breakfast tea. If you want to skip the caffeine in the evening, try an herbal tea or a caffeine-free tea that will complement the flavors of your Valentine’s tea courses.

Valentine’s Tea Gifts for Him

If taking tea isn’t a daily habit for him, it might soon turn into one with this Double Wall Glass Mug. It pairs perfectly with the Black Forest Presentation Tea Box, so he can easily make a single cup of tea at home. 

An Insulated Tumbler is ideal if he likes to drink tea on the go. He doesn’t have to settle for tea bags filled with tea dust, either. The Tumbler comes with a removable infuser so he can enjoy the full-bodied taste of loose-leaf teas.

The Most Romantic Valentine’s Tea Ideas for Them

Do you want to shower your one true love with hearts, flowers, and lovey-dovey heart-shaped everything? An over-the-top romantic Valentine’s tea is sure to be a hit with them! 

But, maybe you want to have tea together in a place other than home. This may be especially true if they have tea regularly, already. But, first, you must decide on a venue.

Pick a Romantic Venue

Do you think they would like to have a picnic tea outside at the park? Or, they might love the idea of eating a romantic and cozy meal in front of the fireplace. 

Think outside of the box and surprise them with a tea-time table for two that’s set up in a local hotel room or nearby bed and breakfast. Here’s a tip: Choose a local venue so you can check into the room before you bring your love. Set up the table and decor so you can serve the food and tea when you arrive together later on. 

Decide What to Serve for Your Romantic Feast
