Smooth to the pallet Review by ['Malachi Publications']
Indeed a tea that is smooth and rich. No need of milk, just a drop of honey and relaxing chair to enjoy your cup

This tea has full-flavour, without the bitterness. It can take milk well, but really doesn’t need it. Very smooth, indeed.
Posted on 2020-05-01A long-time favorite! Review by Snowgirl
English Afternoon has been a favorite in my family for years. My 10 yr old son asks for English Afternoon. It is a well balanced medium bodied tea, approprite for morning or afternoon. None of the Murchies teas seem to get that icky after-taste acidity if you leave the tea bag in a moment too long. I first purhased this absolutely years ago from the Victoria store while on vacation. I live in the in State of Oregon in the US and Murchies is our favorite tea, hands down. I have been to expensive tea shops here and purchased their "upscale" teas and am always disappointed because Murchies is my gold standard!

Steeping the Best (Guide)
Different types of teas should be steeped according to certain times and water temperatures to bring out their best flavours. Use this guide as a starting point, and then experiment until you find the perfect brewing method for your favourite tea.
Based on approximately one level teaspoon (2.5 g) of loose tea or one tea bag per 6-8 ounce (180-240 mL) cup. For stronger flavour, add more tea. Brewing for longer may increase the strength of the tea, but will likely also cause bitterness.
Tea Bags vs. Loose Tea
While our tea bags and loose tea are crafted to match the same flavour profile, there are discernable effects between the two formats. Namely, the leaves inside tea bags is milled, making it much finer and a quicker brew, while loose tea can take a couple minutes longer to steep. Tea bags are very convenient, but loose tea can be more visually appealing and brewed with a reusable infuser.
- Tea bags: steep for 3 - 4 minutes
- Loose tea: steep for 4 - 5 minutes
General Steeping Temperatures
The table included here shows some general guidelines for steeping different kinds of tea. Be mindful that some teas, even two from the same category, will brew differently than others. In particular, our green-black blends will often have different ratios of green and black teas - the more green-leaning ones should be brewed at a lower temperature range. Experimentation is highly encouraged, as tea is very much a matter of personal taste.
Puerh and oolong teas are often steeped multiple times for a shorter period of time in smaller brewing vessels. This method creates a curious exploration of the tea as it unfurls, developing new flavours with each subsequent brew - often making for great social conversation.
If you're unsure, try steeping in the middle range for your tea type. If the result is too bitter, steep at a lower temperature or for a shorter time. If the result is flat, try a higher temperature.
