As part of its Valentine's Day collection this year, David's Tea is promoting its 'Box of Hearts,' which is styled like the classic heart-shaped chocolate box, but is filled with 30 individually packaged bags of tea.
In total, there are three types of teas that are included in the Box of Hearts: Berry Romantic, White Chocolate Rose and The Earl's Valentine. Naturally, these comforting blends include ingredients to fit the theme of the holiday, such as flower petals, chocolate or strawberries and cream.
While heart-shaped boxes filled with chocolates have long been the go-to gift to share with a loved one on Valentine's Day in February, many consumers are now looking for other ways to satisfy other interests and flavor cravings.
