You are the afternoon traditionalist

For you, tea is more than a drink—it’s a ritual. You appreciate the comfort of tradition, the pleasure of doing things properly and the simple satisfaction of sitting down with a beautifully brewed cup of tea.

You naturally gravitate toward classic, full-bodied and refined flavors: think robust black teas, bergamot, vanilla and timeless blends that have earned their place beside the teapot. You appreciate the classics exactly as they are, but you certainly don’t mind an elegant little twist now and then.

Your ideal tea moment might involve a proper teapot, a splash of milk, something freshly baked, a beautifully set table or an afternoon spent lingering over tea and conversation.

You believe some traditions never go out of style—and taking time for tea is one of them.

Your tea style: Classic • Refined • Full-Bodied • Timeless • Elegant

Your tea philosophy: There’s very little in life that can’t be improved by putting the kettle on.

English Breakfast Black Tea • Irish Breakfast Black Tea • Vanilla Earl Grey Black Tea

For proper tea drinkers, beautiful teacups, afternoon rituals, and anyone who knows that some classics became classics for a reason.

The Afternoon Traditionalist Trio celebrates three timeless black teas made for people who appreciate a proper cup. From the smooth simplicity of English Breakfast to the robust character of Irish Breakfast and the elegant citrus-and-vanilla notes of Vanilla Earl Grey, this collection belongs beside your favorite teapot.

And now, you can make it gift-ready with our optional Afternoon Traditionalist Gift Box.

Choose the teas on their own or upgrade to our beautifully designed gift box, featuring a soft blush exterior and charming sage green gingham interior. We'll package all three teas together so they're ready to give—no wrapping required.

Milk and sugar are entirely up to you. The pretty teacup, however, is strongly encouraged.

Inside the Trio

English Breakfast Black Tea
A classic Keemun black tea with a smooth, full-bodied character and the familiar comfort of a traditional breakfast tea. Delicious on its own or with milk and sugar.

Irish Breakfast Black Tea
A robust blend of Ceylon and Assam teas for a stronger, richer cup. Bold enough for mornings but perfectly at home at the afternoon tea table.

Vanilla Earl Grey Black Tea
Classic Earl Grey gets a softer side with the addition of smooth vanilla. Fragrant bergamot and creamy vanilla create an elegant black tea that's familiar yet just a little more indulgent.

Choose Your Size

Available with three Small teas or three Large teas.
