Organic Afternoon Blend Black Tea

Black Tea by Arbor Teas

This organic, Fair Trade Certified blend of Indian black teas is smooth, mellow and pleasantly floral. This blend shares some of the qualities of a Darjeeling without the punchy astringency, backed up by a rounder tea flavor. Our Afternoon Blend has a lighter body than our English Breakfast, making it perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up!

Sustainability is a cornerstone of Arbor Teas’ business philosophy. In addition to offering an exclusively organic selection of teas, they recently became the first tea company to offer their whole catalog in 100% backyard compostable packaging. They’ve also carbon-offset the entire supply chain of their products, from origin to the customer, making Arbor Teas the greenest option for Earth-conscious tea drinkers, and one of few tea companies recognized by Green America.

Breakfast blends can be a bit harsh on my stomach, so I was interested in trying something that was meant to be a bit more mellow. This was pretty basic… in a good way. A good staple tea.

Nearing the end of this sample… I’ll be sad to see it go.

The last of my sample. :(

I love this tea.

May have brewed it a little weak today. I’ve been brewing single cups lately, so I think I forgot how to properly brew a pot. Still good, though. I love love love Indian black teas.

Bumped up a few points because I’ve been getting a serious craving for this one lately. It’s becoming my go-to black tea.

With a bit of amber sugar. I’m really digging on this tea.
