Steeped in Serenity: Artisan Tea & Sweet Escape Gift Basket

Tea, Hot Chocolate, and a Spread Worth Savouring

A Full Basket for the Tea and Chocolate Lover

This tea and chocolate gift basket is a generous, flavour-forward collection for anyone who loves the ritual of a warm cup and something good alongside it, assembled in Montreal and shipped free across Canada. At its centre sits Sorini Chocolate Crunchy Dubai Style Milk Chocolate Pralines, Italian-made milk chocolate shells filled with pistachio cream and kadayif pastry, the kind of thing that turns an ordinary afternoon into something to look forward to. Surrounding them is a layered mix of two organic black teas, a Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate Mix, and a Toasted Hazelnut Instant Latte Mix, giving whoever receives this more than one kind of cup to reach for.

The two teas bring their own distinct characters. The Organic Lemon Mango Classic Black Tea is bright and fruit-forward, with a full-bodied base and a naturally fragrant finish. The Organic Vanilla Essence Classic Black Tea is smoother and rounder, warm with vanilla and mellow all the way through. A box of Gingerbread Spice Black Tea Bags adds eight bags of boldly spiced, aromatic brewing to the mix, making this a basket that covers a wide range of moods, not just one note. The Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate Mix fills in the evenings when tea is not what the moment calls for, dissolving into a velvety, layered cup with real depth.

The treats are just as considered. Cherrington Caramel Waffle Cookies, Villa Sapore Graffette Butter Cookies dipped in cocoa chocolate, Aunt Gloria's Crispy Cookies, Italian Coconut Shortbread Cookies, Laurieri Miniritelle Snack Biscuits with Cranberry and Sesame Seeds, and slices of Italian Cocoa Dusted Sponge Cake with Cocoa Cream Filling round out the spread. Aurora Wildflower Liquid Honey and Italian Foil-Wrapped Chocolate Truffle Bites add two finishing touches that feel generous rather than afterthought. A Waffle and Pancake Mix extends the occasion all the way to the weekend table.

Everything arrives arranged in a deep burgundy oval metal planter with an embossed floral band in an antique gold tone, topped with a satin ribbon bow. It is a vessel worth keeping well after the last cookie is gone. Ships free across Canada.
