english afternoon
by twinings
(7 reviews)There is no custom more exemplary of the English tea drinking tradition than the ritual of savouring tea and biscuits in the afternoon. What started in the 17th century as much needed refreshment between breakfast and dinner, afternoon tea is now an important fixture of British life. Our English Afternoon tea combines carefully selected Keemun tea from the Anhui Province in China with Ceylon tea from Sri Lanka. Keemun teas are light to medium bodied, smooth and slightly sweet in taste. Ceylon teas are bright in colour, crisp and refreshing. Blended together, these two varieties provide a modern twist to a storied tea that is perfect as an afternoon pick-me-up or whenever you need a little lift.

I used to drink this for years, and not necessarily in the afternoon either! This was more of an 'all-day' tea for me. It just tastes better to me than their English Breakfast does.

I like this a lot more than English Breakfast. It definitely gives some afternoon tea vibes. Not too complicated, but enjoyable all the same.

This was my introductory tea when I was a kid, and I still find myself going back to it from time to time. Not the best, but still really drinkable.

Much better and smoother than Twining's English Breakfast. It's a decent English "Afternoon" offering as far as bagged teas go but it's a far cry from excellence.

My favorite tea to buy at the grocery store! It’s sweet and (despite the name) good for any time of the day.
