English Afternoon Tea - 20 Teabags

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 

 Our English Afternoon is an uplifting black tea with a gentle note of bergamot. Its style sits between our robust English Breakfast tea and more floral Earl Grey. As such, it makes the perfect afternoon pick-me-up. Our Tea Masters have carefully selected teas to create a special blend which gives our English Afternoon its full yet lively flavour. A little of our signature bergamot flavouring adds an exotic citrusy note. Delicately balanced, our English Afternoon Tea makes a lovely restorative cuppa. Try it lightly steeped for an energising brew, or add a slice of lemon to bring out the tea’s zesty notes. To really enjoy this tea at its best though, serve it strong with a splash of milk and your favourite afternoon treats. Afternoon tea is a much-loved British tradition - one that we couldn't be without. It started in the Victorian era as a way for society ladies to bridge the gap between lunch and dinner. Fancy sandwiches and cakes were served with fine teas at around 4pm, and the rest is history. The Victorians also loved their horse racing, where afternoon tea was soon being enjoyed. So we celebrate both on the box of our English Afternoon Tea with James Pollard’s race painting "The Start of the St Leger".
