"Afternoon Tea is Lorantea's midday reset collection, made for people who want a softer, aromatic cup between lunch and evening without moving into a heavy morning-style brew."

Afternoon tea works best when it feels balanced: enough flavor to make the break feel real, but not so heavy that it overwhelms the rest of the day.

Choose floral oolong for aroma, white tea for softness, green tea for freshness, or mellow black tea when you want a warmer cup with more body.

Why Choose Floral Loose Leaf Tea?

Choose this collection when you want a cup that feels fragrant, elegant and lifted rather than heavy. Floral loose leaf tea can come from different routes: jasmine scenting, aromatic oolong cultivars, oxidation style, roasting level or mountain-grown leaf character...

How to choose:

  • For a clean floral start: jasmine green tea
  • For aromatic depth: Dan Cong or Tie Guan Yin
  • For lighter daily drinking: high-aroma green or light oolong
