We sit down with Katherine Bush Felton, owner of Mrs. Helen’s Tea House, to discuss the perfect Valentine’s Day gifts.
Valentine’s Day Tea Gift Guide: A Conversation with Mrs. Helen’s Tea House
BSB: Katherine, why is tea such a wonderful Valentine’s Day gift?
Katherine Bush Felton: Tea creates moments of connection that last far beyond February 14th. Unlike chocolates that disappear in minutes, premium loose leaf tea offers weeks of daily rituals—quiet mornings together, cozy evening conversations, or peaceful solo moments of self-care. It’s a gift that keeps giving.
BSB: What would you recommend for the gentleman in our lives?
KBF: Our Smokey Lapsang is absolutely perfect for men. Picture this: a relaxing evening with a fine cigar, a perfectly brewed cup of Smokey Lapsang in an elegant Fellow Monty cup, and good conversation. The tea’s deep, smoky notes complement the richness of a quality cigar, creating an experience that’s both masculine and luxurious. For the ultimate gift, our Dammann Frères Merveilleux Gift Set delivers refined sophistication perfect for the discerning gentleman who appreciates premium quality.
BSB: And for the special women in our lives?
KBF: Loose leaf tea is self-care in a tin. Each blend is carefully crafted to deliver not just exceptional flavor, but a complete sensory experience. The Dammann Frères Iris Gift Set is an elegant choice—a beautifully curated collection that embodies grace and luxury and includes black, green, and herbal varieties. The ritual of brewing loose leaf tea—measuring the leaves, watching them unfurl, inhaling the aromatics—is meditative and restorative.
BSB: Tell us about your gift sets.
KBF: We feature beautifully curated gift sets on mrshelensteahouse.com that are perfect for Valentine’s Day. These thoughtfully assembled collections take the guesswork out of gift-giving while offering variety and elegance in one stunning package.
