English Afternoon is a full-bodied black tea put together the traditional English way, blending leaf from four origins: Africa, Assam, Darjeeling and Yunnan. Together they read as one rich, rounded cup rather than four teas taking turns. Its character is accessible enough to drink at any hour, though it was composed for the afternoon. 100 g of loose leaf, about 40 to 50 cups, packed by Café du Jour.

Details

A blend from four origins

English Afternoon is a full-bodied black tea put together the traditional English way, drawing on leaf from Africa, Assam, Darjeeling and Yunnan. Blended, the four read as one rich, rounded cup rather than four teas taking turns, and the result is accessible enough to drink at any hour.

Brewing it

This is loose-leaf tea, so it wants an infuser, a tea filter or a teapot with a strainer. Use about 2 g of leaf per 200 ml cup, water freshly boiled, and steep for three to four minutes. The steeping time is your strength dial: lift the leaf out at three minutes for a lighter cup, leave it the full four for a stronger one. At that dose a 100 g pack runs to somewhere between 40 and 50 cups.

Milk and sugar

The blend was composed for the afternoon tea ritual, where milk and sometimes a little sugar go in, and the body holds up to both: you do not end up with the grey, watery cup a lighter tea gives you once the milk is added. Drunk black it is rich rather than sharp.

FAQ

Customer Questions

What flavour profile does the English Afternoon black tea have and for which time of day is it ideal?

Our English Afternoon black tea is a blend of teas from Africa, Assam, Darjeeling and Yunnan with a rich and full flavour. This tea is blended in the traditional English style, making it especially delicious during an afternoon tea, but thanks to its accessible character it can be enjoyed throughout the day. It is also ideal for serving to guests, as it appeals to a wide audience.

Is this tea suitable for adding milk or sugar, as with a traditional English afternoon tea?

Yes, this blend is made for the traditional English 'afternoon tea', where milk and sometimes sugar are often added to the tea. The full, rich flavour of the blend holds up well with milk or a little sugar.

What is the best way to prepare this English Afternoon loose-leaf tea?

We recommend preparing the tea with freshly boiled water (approximately 100°C). Use about 2 grams of tea per cup and let the tea steep for 3 to 4 minutes for the optimal flavour experience. You can adjust the strength by increasing or decreasing the steeping time as desired.

How many cups of tea can I make with 100 grams of loose English Afternoon tea?

With 100 grams of loose tea, you can make approximately 40 to 50 cups of tea, depending on how many tea leaves you use per cup. We recommend using about 2 grams of tea per 200 ml cup.
