Be My (Quarantine) Valentine? Portland’s V-Day Round-Up

Valentine’s Day 2021 is almost upon us – whether we’re together or keeping six feet apart. This year more than ever, it’s a day where couples – but also singles and families – unite to celebrate their love for each other. With options to dine in (under an outdoor heated patio, of course) or stay in, enjoy the region’s finest offerings of tea, wine, comfort food, and yes, even ice cream, on this very unique holiday.

A hot cup of tea often delivers comfort to the mind and warmth to the heart. What better way to enjoy the winter season than with some damn fine tea? A. Tellin Company is partnering with HartVariations, a nature-inspired jewelry brand, to offer a bespoke oolong tea and snakeskin charm gift set. The Tea Charm Collaboration features 50mg of the exclusive HartVariation tea blend – a warm and soothing blend of oolong, ginger and sage – plus a one-of-a-kind, handmade snakeskin charm bracelet (perfect for your special someone).
