Lighter than hearty breakfast teas, afternoon blends offer more complexity and less pungency than teas that are consumed primarily in the morning. Darjeelings, oolongs, and Chinese Lapsang Souchongs are popular ingredients in these blends; the resulting complexities are wonderful when paired with an afternoon snack.
Our black afternoon tea blends feature premium teas from around the world and are sure to lift you up.

Griffin's Wharf Afternoon Blend
In this elegant blend of China Congou and Lapsang Souchong black teas - inspired by the Boston Tea Party - bold, ebony-brown leaves produce a dark whiskey-colored liquor with a pronounced peat smoke aroma.

Darjeeling-Ceylon Iced Tea Blend
Half whole-leaf Darjeeling and half OP Ceylon. A great hot tea as well! The brewing information provided is for hot tea preparation. For making a concentrate for iced tea, we recommend doubling the amount listed below.

East Frisian Sunday Tea
A blend of whole-leaf Assam and genuine Bourbon vanilla. The combination makes a delightful afternoon blend.

Finest Russian Caravan
A more refined version of our Original Blend Russian Caravan (TB60), this blend of choice loose leaf teas from India, China and Formosa yields a smooth, satisfying cup with a bright character. Toasty notes and a light sweetness lead to a crisp finish. A great afternoon tea.

Robert Fortune Blend 41 (Darjeeling-Yunnan)
Named after Robert Fortune who toured the tea producing regions in the 1840s under the auspices of the East India Company. Darjeeling adds a pleasing brightness; Yunnan lends a dark, honey colored liquor and delicately spicy overtones.

Richmond Park Blend
A mellow, whole-leaf blend of Keemun, Ceylon, and Darjeeling. An exceptional tea that is smooth enough for drinking plain, and sturdy enough to take milk or lemon.
