Description

Our Afternoon Tea is a gentler alternative to a strong breakfast blend. It brings together fine black teas from three of the world's great tea-growing regions, balanced for a smooth, light cup that's refreshing rather than heavy.

Our expert tea blenders ensure this has a rounded base, complemented by brightness and a clean, golden character. It also has a lively, brisk finish. The result is a mellow, easy-drinking tea that's soothing and refreshing to the palate.

Enjoy it on its own, with a splash of milk or with a slice of lemon. It's a natural partner for fruit cakes, sandwiches and shortbread, and light enough to drink all afternoon.

Every bag is tagged and sealed in its own envelope, keeping it fresh and making it easy to take to work, pack for a trip or offer to guests.

Our story

A blend made for afternoon tea

Afternoon tea is one of Britain's best-loved traditions. Anna, Duchess of Bedford, is widely credited with popularising it in the 1840s.

The origins
She is said to have taken tea and a light snack in the late afternoon to bridge the long gap before dinner. Historians debate whether she started the custom or simply made it fashionable, but by the end of the 19th century it was enjoyed across all walks of life.
The right tea
A traditional afternoon tea calls for a tea that complements food rather than overpowering it.
Made for food
Finger sandwiches, scones with jam and cream, and delicate cakes all pair best with a lighter, brighter blend. That's exactly what our Afternoon Tea is designed to do.

At Brodies, we have been blending tea since 1867. Explore our full tea collection, or try Afternoon Tea alongside five other teas in our Fine Tea Selection Gift Tin.
