Bewley's Irish Afternoon Tea is an award winning blend sourced entirely from East Africa - Kenyan teas from the finest estates east of the Rift Valley, finished with Rwandan leaves that give the cup its distinctive golden color. No Assam, which is what keeps it brisk and refreshing rather than heavy. This is the tea you reach for when the morning is done. Light enough to drink through the afternoon without weighing you down, but with enough character to feel like a proper cup. Works well with or without milk. If you enjoy Bewley's Irish Afternoon, our Scotch and Abram's Britannia Blend is our take on that same golden, refreshing cup - medium bodied and bright with a smooth finish. How to brew the perfect cup Use freshly boiled water, not left to cool. Steep for 3 to 4 minutes. Works well with or without milk. A shorter steep keeps it at its brightest. How does it compare? Lighter than Bewley's Gold Blend Lighter than Bewley's Irish Breakfast Similar to Barry's Irish Breakfast The lightest in the Bewley's black tea range and a natural all-afternoon tea. If you find Bewley's Gold or Irish Breakfast too heavy later in the day, this is the one to switch to. Barry's Irish Breakfast is the closest comparison across brands.
