English Afternoon - Black Tea 100 gram - Café du Jour loose Tea

What is English Afternoon tea?

English Afternoon tea is a classic loose leaf black tea blend with a very full taste. It is inspired by the tradition of taking tea in the afternoon, something the English have enjoyed for generations. This English tea blend from Café du Jour combines black tea from Africa, Assam, Darjeeling, and Yunnan into one harmonious cup.

A blend from four tea origins

The blend draws on black tea leaves from four distinct growing areas: Africa, Assam, Darjeeling, and Yunnan. Each area brings its own character to the cup. Together they create a full-bodied, rounded flavour that suits the afternoon moment well.

• Africa contributes a bold, brisk character
• Assam adds depth and a malty backbone
• Darjeeling brings a lighter, more delicate note
• Yunnan rounds the blend with a smooth, earthy quality

Who is it suitable for?

This English Afternoon tea appeals to a wide range of people. Whether you are a dedicated tea enthusiast or someone who simply enjoys a good cup in the afternoon, this blend fits the moment. It is also a great choice to have at home when you have visitors.

Suitable for everyday enjoyment and entertaining

Because the flavour is full yet balanced, it suits both seasoned loose leaf tea drinkers and those who are new to brewing loose tea. You can serve it plain or with a splash of milk — either way it holds up well in the cup.

• Tea lovers who enjoy a full-bodied black tea
• Anyone who likes the English afternoon tea tradition
• Hosts who want a crowd-pleasing tea for guests
• People making the switch from tea bags to loose leaf tea

How do you use English Afternoon tea?

Brewing loose leaf black tea is straightforward. You need a teapot or infuser, freshly boiled water, and a little patience. The result is a cup that is far more aromatic than a standard tea bag.

2. Add one heaped teaspoon of loose leaf tea per cup to your infuser or teapot
3. Pour the boiling water over the leaves
4. Allow the tea to steep for three to five minutes, depending on how strong you like it
