By now we’ve all readily learned to accept the slightly off-kilter as normal, and we’ve learned to consider home our favorite restaurant.

Until the light at the end of the tunnel fully brightens, there are a number of creative ways we can still make even Valentine’s Day special.

How about Afternoon Tea from the Langham Huntington at your place? Why not?

This year, guests can enjoy a Valentine’s Day version of their signature Afternoon Tea, exquisitely packed to-go, to create the magic right there at home.

This special offering features Langham Blend tea, 4 mini-sandwich selections, 5 mini Valentine’s Day desserts and freshly-baked scones with lemon curd, Devonshire cream and fruit jam.

All items come packaged to-go in a Langham pink takeout box. That might be reason enough right there.

The Langham Tea Selection offers the Langham Blend, a sophisticated blend of Indian Assam with a malty flavor, plus Darjeeling, the “champagne of teas,” featuring a muscatel charm and a light citrus character.

In the sandwich department, there’s Savory Zucchini Tartelette, with Cucumber, and Burrata Cheese; Gruyère Gougères, with Saffron Chicken Salad, and Espelette Pepper Butter; Scottish Smoked Salmon, with Olive Tapenade, Boursin Spread, on Pumpernickel, and Quail Egg Salad, with Caviar, Pea Sprouts, and Red Beet Blini.

Dessert offerings range from Raspberry White Chocolate Matcha Tartelette, a  Chocolate Flourless Almond Tea Cake, some Valentine’s Lemon Poppy Sugar Cookies, Rosewater Heart Macarons, and a Valrhona Dark Chocolate Dipped Strawberry. Be still, your beating heart.

And what is tea without scones? There are two offerings—Cranberry Pecan Scone and Vanilla Bean Scones, served with lemon curd, Devonshire cream and fruit jam.

Orders must be placed by Wednesday, February 10 at 5:00pm, and will be available for pick-up at the hotel on Friday, February 12 and Saturday, February 13 between 12:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. Online ordering available here.
