English Afternoon - black tea 100 grams - Café du Jour loose tea

What is English Afternoon tea?

English Afternoon tea is a classic black tea blend that the English have enjoyed for generations during the afternoon hours. This engelse thee brings together black teas from Africa, Assam, Darjeeling, and Yunnan in one rich, full-bodied cup. The result is a warm, satisfying drink with a very rich flavour that suits any time of the afternoon.

A blend with character

Each tea in the blend adds something to the cup. The combination of leaves from Africa, Assam, Darjeeling, and Yunnan creates a layered flavour that is both robust and smooth. This is the kind of tea the English keep on the table when guests arrive — and now you can enjoy it at home too.

How do you use English Afternoon tea?

Brewing this engelse thee is straightforward. Because it is a loose leaf tea, you can adjust the amount you use to get the strength you prefer. A standard guideline is one heaped teaspoon per cup of freshly boiled water. Let it steep for three to five minutes, then remove the leaves.

Tips for a great cup

• Use freshly boiled water and pour it straight over the leaves
• Steep for three to five minutes depending on how strong you like it
• Use a tea strainer or infuser to keep the leaves out of your cup
• Try it with a splash of milk, as the English traditionally enjoy it
• Serve alongside pastries or a light snack for a proper afternoon tea moment

The 100-gram pack gives you plenty of tea to enjoy over many sittings. With one teaspoon per cup, 100 grams is enough for around 40 to 50 cups, so you will have enough on hand for daily use and for when guests drop by.
