Valentine’s Day. It’s that time of year to remind that special someone in your life know that they’re still close to your heart even if you have to be socially distant at this time.
The Delridge Grocery Co-op is here to help brighten a loved one’s day (or maybe your own) with our DGC Valentine’s Treat Bag — a collection of delights specially curated by our Co-op team for this day of love and thoughtfulness.

Read on for details about what’s in the DGC Valentine’s Treat Bag:
Camino Verde or Kokoa Kamili Chocolate Bar (Bellflower Chocolate)
We’re including one of either two chocolate bars from Bellflower Chocolate:
- Camino Verde (Ecuador): Dusty, hearty aromas with hints of banana and marshmallow; savory and mellow.
- Kokoa Kamili (Tanzania): Fruity aromas and hints of red huckleberry, lychee, and green papaya, this chocolate is bright, crisp, sparkling (pictured at right).
Headquartered in Seattle, WA and producing its chocolate on top of Queen Anne in between the Space Needle and the Fremont Cut, Bellflower makes small-batch chocolate and chocolate milk with a focus on honest, local ingredients, simplicity, quality, and craftsmanship. The name Bellflower comes from Campanula piperi or “Piper’s bellflower” — an alpine flower unique to the Olympic Peninsula and named after Charles Piper, father of Pacific Northwest botany.
Chocolate Date Spread (Wanna Date?)
A chocolatey dream come true, Wanna Date? Chocolate Date Spread uses four simple ingredients — Deglet Noor dates, water, cocoa powder, and lactic acid. Only 25 calories per serving, allergen-friendly, added-sugar free, nut-free, soy-free, it’s a great tasting, guilt-free healthy treat. Drizzle like syrup on apples, bananas, pancakes, waffles, yogurt, smoothies and more. Combine with bagels and cream cheese, pair with peanut & almond butter, or sizzle it on bacon. Serve on a nice charcuterie board or dress on salad.
Dates are one of the sweetest, softest, gooiest, most amazing little fruits with so many health benefits. The staff at Wanna Date? always reaches for dates when they’re craving something sweet, and use their date spreads to make everything else a bit sweeter.
Sea Salt Caramels (Jacobsen Salt Co.)
Creamy, perfectly golden brown, and chewy with a flash of pure sea salt, these Classic Caramels from Jacobsen Salt Co. hit the sweet notes you love, with the bright, briny sparks of sea salt you crave.
A little salty mixed with sweet, the Jacobsen Co. Candy line is a throwback to the golden era of candy. All of its candy starts with pure sea salt harvested from Netarts Bay on the Oregon Coast. They then carefully toast the sugar and butter to a perfect golden brown and finish by stirring in the final ingredients, whether chocolate, molasses, anise or cream. Founded in 2011, Jacobsen Salt Co. was the first company to harvest salt in the Pacific Northwest since Lewis & Clark built their salt works in 1805.
Weekend Warrior Muscle Balm (Sister Sage Herbs)
Designed to help you move through the pain and help reduce recovery time for bruising and temporary soreness, Weekend Warrior is made with fresh arnica harvested from Sister Sage’s farm on Vashon Island. Sister Sage balms are a topical blend of herb-infused oils, beeswax (from a local beekeeper) and organic, fair trade, raw shea butter. The result is a portable, convenient way to access herbs on the go.
Sister Sage Herbs was born of Jayne Simmons’ awe and love for nature’s medicine. It started with a dream: to create a local medicine scene in Seattle by growing plants that are often used in western natural medicine. Grown, nourished, and harvested on their farm on Vashon Island, Sister Sage herbs are processed in small batches at their warehouse just south of downtown Seattle.
Cup of Love Tea (Big Heart Tea Co.)
Crafted by hand to reduce stress and soothe your soul, Cup of Love is a mild, nurturing, naturally sweet rose tea. Sipping a cup brings a floral olfactory release, just like a hug from your grandma.
To brew this loose leaf tea, start with a heaping teaspoon and increase from there depending on how strong you prefer your cup of tea. Steep for two minutes.
Since loose leaf tea is not pre-measured, you can do whatever you want. There’s no limit when you brew with loose tea, and you can customize your drink’s strength by adding as much or as little as you want. Here are some tips on how to prepare loose leaf tea (spoiler alert — a mesh strainer and even a French Press are involved).
Big Heart Tea Co. is a midwest-based, woman-owned tea company on a covert mission to make people feel good through healing herbs and tea. They’re scrappy spice millers, herb blenders, tea crafters, chai brewers, innovators, and magic makers. They’re big on connecting people to plants and to the concept of consuming nourishing food as medicine – while making it taste really, really good.
